Virus money not well spent.
« on: May 10, 2020, 10:03:42 AM »
             Steak prices, Virus money made me do it.

Even before the Chinese Virus hit I knew that some steaks on sale would not be available at those prices much longer but while I did buy and scarf down I did not buy for future use.So I thought buy now or never.
 SO,  I am going to have the yearly Father's Day/Water Carnival feed, even with the parade cancelled.
 Now I did find some "sale" prices on-line at foo-foo on-line butcher shops.
 
 Now it is not just steaks, I like to buy hot-dogs/bacon from places I probably will never drive to in my life also, so now that my Chinese Virus bucks have arrived I may have spent unwisely but I will eat well as will my guests.
 From:
 
 Porter Road (not steaks or hot-dogs but on sale)
 10 lbs. hamburger
 4 bone marrow bones  ( they put the price into free shipping)
 
 Showalters's -- Their hot dogs are GREAT.
 Hot Dogs - Showalter's Hot Dogs-4-
 Dry Cured Bacon - Dry Cured Country Bacon-2
 Dry Cured Bacon - Dry Cured Hickory Bacon-2
 Dry Cured Bacon - Dry Cured Apple Bacon-2
 Subtotal:$78.00 -- Free shipping.
 
 Foo-Foo places
 
 Allen Brothers
 2 PRIME  STRIP STEAKS 2PC / 12OZ EACH1$0.00
 USDA PRIME HEART OF RIB ROAST, 4-6 LBS1$209.95
 Free Shipping -- the two 0 bucks steaks by them selves are 89 bucks.
 
 Special sale deal.
 Marble Mountain
 Akaushi Wagyu Beef sample box.
 2 Ribeye steaks
 2 Strip steaks
 2 Chuck steaks
 2 Cross Rib steaks
 2 Sirloin Tip steaks
 1 Sirloin steak
 190 bucks plus 15 shipping  for Wagyu this is dirt cheap.
 
 Robert Wholey (now this place did not send the hot dogs ordered, and have not responded )
 6 Porterhouse steaks
 3 packages hotdogs
 10 bucks shipping.
 
For the money, at least the steak part,  I may have had pounds more top line beef steaks locally,  but you never know how good the grass is on the other side of the hill till you try it..
 But then I did not know virus paranoia was going to cause this country to stick its head up its buttocks.
 Some of the places I bought these from, they were sold out shortly after I ordered.
 The shipping containers are actually nice enough I will keep at least two of them.
