walmarts "steakhouse" steaks

ive had a couple in the last 2-3 weeks. i give it 2 thumbs up. definately restaurant quality. ive only had the porterhouse, but the rib eyes and t-bones look great as well. on the label it says "genuine steak house brand" there not lying. i think my porterhouse was like 1.13 lbs, and cost about 9 bucks.

ive been seeing the commercials for the last couple of months and was like what the hell ill try it.

I'm surprised. All the meat I've bought at Walmart has gone bad before the expiration date, we quit buying it there.

Same here. There is a little meat market about two miles from my house that I buy all my meat at.

Our wal-mart's normally have a decent selection, I try and get something at one of the local grocer's, but alot of times theyy don't have anything good, not marbled enough, not red enough, or nothin of decent size.

yeah my 2 local grocers PUBLIX and Albertsons, there selection doesnt have anything on these steaks....

and i do have to add, yes walmart has been selling groceries and meats for years now, but these Steakhouse" steaks are new and do have there own meat section.....there add states money back on these steaks if not satisfied..............trust me, the taste is phenominal......i dont know who they have a contract with onthese meats, but my grocery stores cant compete.


and im not a huge fan of wally world, being from a small town i know what a walmart can do to local business, plus i wasted 2 years of my life working there when i was in college...........im just saying the meat is good

Maybe enough complaints that they got something better? Anyway, if it's a new thing it may be worth looking into. We usually get our meat at the butcher's, it's a little pricey, though.

My local news ran a segment about Wal-Marts meat. During production of their packaged meats they bubble carbon monoxide through it. It gives the meat a nice red color, otherwise joking you into thinking their sub-par meat is of better quality. Not sure if it applies to their steaks though. I've severed all ties with wally world, haven't stepped foot into one in about 4 years.

For the most part I buy my meat in bulk, I go half and half with my buddy on a whole cow and pig. We buy it from a trusted meat locker, same folks who process the deer[s] I harvest each season.

Nothing like half a cow, half a pig, and a couple deers crammed in my deep freeze.

I'm not surprised. They probably hire Mexicans to cut the meat and recycle the cuts that drop on the floor in with the animal poo.

I have a rule about shopping Wal Mart. One is I don't buy anything from Wal Mart that goes in my mouth or is otherwise personal in nature. That goes for food as well as their contaminated toothpaste. I know they're cheap and all that but some things are just not worth taking a chance on.

Anything else gets run thru the dishwasher or wiped down with disinfectant soon as it comes out of the box just in case the Chinaman who assembled it had SARS.

I didn't even know walmart sold meat! (But we don't have any of those supercenters around here) I probably wouldn't buy meat from them though, a place that sells clothes and meat in the same building just doesn't seem right to me.
