  • costco meat cuts and prices for engand :-)

    Forgot my camera this morning - but luckily I bought my dad a phone for christmas with a half decent camera attached and he was driving today :-)

    Basically went down the meat counter and took pics of the prices and cuts for most things.

    To get the price in $ per pound.
    divide by 2.2 to get the price per pound.
    Then multiply by 1.5 to get the price in dollars.

    For example the british loin ribs are 4.69 a kilo.
    4.69/2.2 = £2.13 a pound.
    2.13 * 1.5 = $3.19 a pound.
    And before anyone asks - they are the ONLY type of ribs I can get in racks from anywhere. And costco are the only place I can always get them.

    Generally unless someone has a special deal on - costco prices are very good and cheaper than most supermarkets for most things.

    The packs of steaks on the left in the boneless pork shoulder picture are what i use for sausage meat. No waste, no skin and just the right amount of fat - ie: fairly lean.

    The first picture is the price if you buy beef by the 'case' - usually at least a 15kg minimum.

    It seems your beef is a bit pricey, but the pork seemed reasonable. Is it all domestic, or is some of it imported?

            The pork looks great.
            Your VAT is going up, or just went up didn't it?
            No VAT on food though right?

                It's because it's treated as a cheap joint. Has no real place in british cuisine other than that = so the burchers roll it to make it look like something you might want to roast.

                A strange thread but I figured you lot might appreciate the differences in cuts and prices.

                I won't buy imported meat and costco is sensible enough to only use british meat on their fresh counter. You can buy frozen newzealand lamb from the freezers. I don't unless it's discounted

                Yeah their pork prices are good and the suppliers they use are rspca approved for animal welfare. Not only does this give the pigs a better life - short as it is. But the meat is leaner and the muscle more defined and tastier.

                I really don't understand why beef is so expensive in england. Just is, lol

                  nice report,

                  from this it looks like the meat @ a Costco in England is alot better than i have seen @ American ones. Lots of local meat, etc.

                  you are lucky.

                    welll britains not a big country so 'local' - from a us point of view - is pretty much anything home grown.

                    Costco is hands down my favcourite shop.
                    Not only do they lay on free breakfast: fresh coffee, danish, muffins, cookies, various cakes. But they fgive you lots of food samples as you wander round. Plus their shrimp prices are 1/2 what you pay elsewhere. And I get through a lot of shrimp in the bbq season

                      lol...

                      I should have said local, and humanely raised, not off some factory farm feedlot.. a happy pig is a tasty pig.

                      you folks are ahead of most the U.S. in that regard.

                        I like to think so - but we still have a way too many battery raised chicken factories :-(

                        And yep moselle food is generally vat free.
                        Although I think it's supposed to be just non-luxury food items, the definition does seema little peculiar at times. I generally only have a few vat'd items on my bill :-)

                        The only drawback to costco is that it's 40 minutes drive away and I never leave there without paying over at least £100

                        If the business ever gets off the ground (planning permission for business usage associated with the units - don't get me started) I'll be doing a costco run at least once a week as 90% of my products will start life as costco pork shoulder steaks and I had a word with the butchery dept and they'll do me any size 'case' I like - just need a little advance notice to get it ready
