  • UPDATE 2024: Butcher Wizard Knife Collection is now available. We have a 10” breaking knife and a 6” boning knife.
    Check it out at butcherwizardshop.com
    This is the same style of the knife I used in this video. Over the past 6 months, I have worked hard to make my own collection of knives that everyone who takes on these big butchery projects must have in order to be successful.
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
    In this video, I will show you my favorite deals on meat at Costco. Come with me while I shop and then I will bring the items back to my kitchen where I will show you how to break them down. It is becoming harder and harder to save money at the grocery store. Prices seem to be going up everywhere as inflation grows. Here are some ways that I save money every time I go to Costco. I will also show you some items to stay away from in the meat department.

    The rotisserie chickens are absolutely a loss leader, so are most of the items up front at the food bar. Especially the hot dogs. Costco doesn't really lose money in the long run because they make it up in other areas. You can think of it as customer appreciation give back. That's why I have been a loyal customer since 1990.

      I go once a week and sometimes pick up just 2 chickens. Each chicken averages out to be about 2lbs of pure meat, and you get a carcass for making stock.

      The rotisserie chickens are actually an attempt at loss reduction. What they're made from is those whole chickens that are about to expire so they cook them up in the store and then sale them to try and recover from the total loss of the whole chickens.

The truth is, most everything sold at Costco is sold close to cost, and some even at a loss, like the Rotisserie chickens and $1.50 hot dog and soda combos. Where costco makes most of its money is from its memberships. It is literally its main business model.

      If you look at the labels, the rotisserie chicken is $1.66 a pound (so a 3 pound bird) and the uncooked is $1.49 a pound (over 5.6 pounds each). They get more per pound because they are cooking them. Comparatively, a 2 pack of rotisserie chickens at the same size and cost would be $18.69 or $9.35 per bird. Rotisserie nonetheless is a great deal.

    In Canada, we have Costco Commercial locations that are restaurant supply but anyone with a membership can get in. I usually get cryovac sealed fresh meats and break them down myself. Much cheaper than even the Costco cut meats. It's nice to cut steaks to your own thickness instead of the pre-packaged stuff. You are right about the pork loins. I usually cut them thick and butterfly them. If you have a smoker, the pickled pea-meal covered loins turn out fantastic and turn a cheaper cut of meat into premium quality deli-style cold cuts.

I have been buying in "bulk" at Costco for decades, and breaking down the meats to put in my chest freezer!

    My only problem with pre-cut Costco beef is that it's always blade tenderized. Even the tenderloin cuts, which absolutely need no tenderizing. Blade tenderizing involves stabbing the meat with tiny blades that break up the connective tissues. As a result, surface bacteria is allowed to penetrate to the center of the cut, meaning that you now have to cook it to at least 145°F (which puts it in the medium to medium-well range). That's a non-starter for me, but if you like steak that way... have at it.
    Fortunately, the primal cuts are not tenderized and also save you some money. Just got to put in a bit of work.

    I usually pick up every couple of months a 10-12 lb brisket at Costco and slow roast it in my oven at 270f for 12 hours. I then wrap it in butcher paper and let it sit in the oven with the heat turned off for a few hours.I only coat it generously with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. We eat everything ,by the end usually a few days or more I make brisket birria tacos with a pico digio and finish with a sour cream and hot sauce drizzle. The fat make the taco shells incredible.The best $65-70 you will ever spend. With the cost of living rapidly increasing this is an absolute must. Enjoy it’s absolutely delicious even the fat turns into candy.

      Check it out for yourself...all during COVID and the alleged food chain shortages PORK (except for bacon) never really saw price increases. They had shortages of it but the prices were always right around $2.99 to $3.29 a pound and still does. Beef, Fish, Chicken all went way up as did bacon which was $10 a pound and almost still is. Funny thing is, pork has to be shipped, cooled and handled just like beef and seafood yet pork remained at its pre COVID pricing. Makes you wonder if the price increases are legit on other products or if the middle men are making it up.

    the salmon recommended here is previously frozen. Freezing meat, thawing it, and freezing it again will diminish the quality of the meat. If you care about that lol. to me it is a noticeable difference but its not necessarily a deal breaker. for Beef, maybe pork, i think the difference is marginal. Fish and chicken though you probably shouldnt freeze twice.

    take one of those pork loins, cut in 4 - put each in a ziplock with a good amount of rootbeer, zip it up and let if marinate overnight. in the fridge.. slow cook in crock pot somewhere around 7-8 hrs with the juices still there, and add some kind of bbq sauce... you'll have to fork shed it, it won't fall apart like a shoulder or butt would, but it'll be very lean. then sauce it up how people like it on buns with some cole slaw or the like as a dressing - makes a great lunch - might need to let the meat drain in a collander for a few minutes for the excess liquid to drain away and not stain shirts :)

You can verify by simply asking someone in the meat department if they mechanically tenderize.
