We have ordered from Omaha Steaks a couple of times and my son has sent us Omaha Steak gift packages a couple of times. The steaks are small and we wouldn't order again. Since I ordered from them we get spammy email ads fairly often. I was floored when I read the ad that appeared in my email this morning. My God, who in the world pays that much for 4 1/2 pounds of meat? That is as ridiculous as those who pay the prices they charge for Wagu and Kobi beef in restaurants. I can buy a whole hell of a lot of good quality beef for $200. I can still buy a good, well marbled ribeye for about 10-12 dollars.

The steaks that they sell have gotten smaller over the years and in my estimation they are not worth the money any more considering they fill out the packages with everything else from chicken breast, hot dogs, and even fruit tarts.

What are WE having for supper tonight? MEATLOAF!! lol

Wow.

Did you find a connection for freezer beef down there?

There are plenty of good freezer beef options here. Angus beef farming is big around this area and there are several farms that process and sell their own beef. I have a friend who has a farm near Kingsport. He is the enterprising friend that had the taco truck, is a licensed home inspector, drone videographer, as well as raising beef, pork, chickens, eggs, and produce for market. We plan on buying a hind quarter of angus from him and splitting it with my sister and her husband as soon as our freezer gets down enough to hold it. We probably have 30 or 40 pounds of assorted meat and poultry in there still.

I used to buy from Omaha Steaks when I was working. I ordered enough to share with my Mom. Now the price is way over my head.

I was tempted to order from Omaha a couple years ago but backed off. The order with the 6 oz steaks included boneless chicken breasts & a few "steak burgers" which are nothing but ground beef. Not worth it. I can go to Desantis Meats or Haps with $200 & actually see what I'm spending my money on.

They also spammed me endlessly until I unsubscribed & blocked them.
