omaha Steaks

[mjarrels]

Holididay specal adds are listing omaha steaks at $90.00 a box, I'm not much of a steak eater because of missing teeth. Just curioous if a box of steaks, burgers and chicken breast are worth it.

We saw that commercial last night and wondered if it was a good deal or not.

Back in the 90's I used to deliver Omaha Steaks to people when I drove for Airborne Express. The ones I talked to said the meat was better then what you could buy in the store, but I thought they where too expensive to give them a try.

I can't imagine it being worth it. What they call steaks isn't what I call a steak. Looking at their website, most of their steaks are about 6 oz. fillets are 5 oz. New York strips are 10 oz. Their ribeye's are $40/#!

My wife received a gift certificate for them several years ago. We picked out what we wanted and ordered. Everything we ordered was good. We thought they were way too expensive VS our local options, but they were still good, and we got them for free, soooo...

Meat is very good, prices are not.

I have had these given to me in the past as gifts. The steaks are not the highest quality and size is small for a normal guy. The other things included beside the steaks you may or may not find worth eating. I would have to say the price is very high for what you get.

There are some custom steak online order shops. Be prepared to clutch your wallet though when you look at the prices for Prime dry aged beef.

I received some from my boss years ago, good steaks but turns out I'm a family of four by their estimations.

If you think Omaha steaks are expensive, wait until you see what Kansas City steak company charges. Or if that is not enough, go see what Snakeriver farms charges.

I always love this time of year. I get a lot of corporate gifts and they always give out the best.

My dad ordered them years ago, I’m talking the 1970’s, and I always thought the meat was pretty exceptional. Since he was paying the price was exceptional too.

Plus if you order from Omaha Steaks, you’ll be stuck with the styrofoam shipping container in your basement for the rest of your life…….

I second buying local.

I found out last year, I had a farmer only 15-20 minutes away that raises their own beef and sells it right on the property.

They mostly sell 1/2's and 1/4's, but, they do generally have steaks, ground beef, and lots of other things for sale.

The steaks are nearly prime or better, at less than choice prices.

I had all but stopped buying steaks, because they had gotten so expensive at the stores.

What if I don't like my neighbor?

We've had Omaha Steaks as a company gift. I was disappointed. They are not worth the money. Average steaks.

I buy whole tenderloins and then cut them myself. Not often, but it is much cheaper per pound that way...and the steaks are better.

My brother sent me a box of Omaha steaks a while back as he knows we eat a lot of beef. I appreciated the thoughtful gift, but it really was a box of disappointment.

You'd think all these places selling direct, cutting out the middlemen would be able to offer a decent product at a decent price. But the prices are high and quality unpredictable. I'll leave the frozen boutique meats alone and just keep being picky at the grocery store.

I have no idea why Omaha Steaks is so popular. Their meat is just not that good. Give me local beef any day of the week and a roast on Sunday.

 

[NoTrespassing]

I cooked a 2 1/2 lb. "New York Strip" roast last weekend. It was on sale for $7.99/lb. It turned out great and we got 2 meals for 3 people out of it for $20 plus vegetables.

A local cattle company opened a store in Athens. They sell locally raised beef, pork, and poultry, plus a few condiments. Most of it comes from their cattle operation but they do source some from other local farms when they need it. They do custom cuts and the price per pound is reasonable, such as custom thickness boneless ribeye cut in front of you for $26/lb. So far everything we had purchased has been excellent.

26 bucks a pound is a bit steep for me. I'm buying whole boneless ribeyes for 10 bucks a pound right now. I cut them and vacuum seal them. Most of the ones lately have been bone in at 8 bucks a pound..

I do miss those holiday freebies from vendors. By far the best was the bone-in Honey Baked Hams. (Hey buddy, ship it to the house, not the office.). I used to work near their processing plant, what a wonderful aroma as you passed by.
