I have semi-surrendered on making meatballs and today I noticed that Costco has the meatball brand that I buy at Safeway so I’ll probably return to Costco next week to get them. Since safeway steaks (choice) remain cheaper than Costco prime steaks, I’ll still not buy steak at costco. I also believe that steak is best when grilled / cooked with bone, so I’m disturbed by the idea of buying boneless steak. And of course I welcome hearing why my belief is wrong!!!!!
Costco steaks are rarely/never going to be as cheap as sale grocery store steaks as has been pointed out many times. I used to buy only bone in rib eyes but now I mix it up. I do think the quality of meat is better at Costco for the same grade and buy flank steak, boneless short ribs, skirt steak there. I would never buy lamb chops or baby back ribs anywhere eise.
