So I finally broke down and bought a Sam's Club membership. The main reason is I wanted to buy big pieces of meat and you just can't do that at Publix. Publix sometimes has beef roasts on sale but it is only for holidays. So I bought this:
That is a 8.7 lb Black Angus Grain Fed Choice untrimmed whole filet. It was a $104 so that got a dropped jaw from Lisa. I watched a few you tube videos about trimming and cutting it into filet so I went at it. After about a hour of back breaking work (or maybe my back was just sore from digging up bushes earlier in the day), I got 4 lbs of center cut tenderloin fillets (10.7 oz, 10 oz, 10 oz, 8 oz, 7.5 oz, 6 oz, 6 oz, and 5 oz), 1.75 lbs of cubed tenderloin for kabobs, and 0.75 lbs of thin shavings for salad. Basically, I saved about $10 and got all the extras for free. Hopefully it makes good kabobs and salad.
I did enjoy the big 10 oz filet. Don't worry, I had a banana and a salad too.
I also have this little guy for next time
