I WAS SO DELIGHTED...to receive these pictures from Nancy (in Minnesota) -- who went on the hunt for a whole beef tenderloin in her area...and FOUND ONE...for only $4.94/lb...!!

| Nancy's son helped trim their tenderloin... |
 |
| They got six Filet Mignon, a roast and some stew meat. |
YES -- these are the same steaks that would be $50 EACH at a nice restaurant.

Nancy has decided this is her new talent....she's planning to do it professionally...
I'm so proud....
Filets are my favorite! One of the advantages to living in the farm belt for you is the price of beef. I watch for deals on whole tenderloins but it is “always” over $10 per pound. One of the downsides to living on the East Coast, I guess. Nancy’s steaks looked really good as did your birthday dinner.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Sue! I've always believed our groceries were a bargain compared to the rest of the country. Those Filets were AMAZING...
