"The Rastelli's package in question contains eight steaks - two 5-ounce filet mignons, two 6-ounce sirloins, two 10-ounce NY strips, and two 10-ounce ribeyes - as well as a couple of 1-ounce packages of Himalayan pink salt. All together, that's just under four pounds of pure grass-fed beef, for an average cost of about $36 a pound."
"Given that you have to buy this set in bulk at Costco, you might expect that the price would be lower than what you'd find at your local grocery store. And yet, that is not the case either. By just about any metric, Costco's Rastelli's steak box is not a particularly good deal."
"Rastelli's has an online store where you can peruse all the same products found in this Costco package, mixing and matching them to better suit your preferences. If you like the variety of four different cuts, you can make the exact same box, but you can also, say, drop the sirloins and replace them with another brace of ribeyes. Going straight to the source has another advantage as well: It's actually a bit cheaper."
The Rastelli's Grass-Fed Angus Steak Box available at Costco contains eight steaks of various cuts—filet mignons, sirloins, NY strips, and ribeyes—along with Himalayan pink salt, totaling just under four pounds. Despite the bulk purchase at Costco, the $139.99 price tag translates to approximately $36 per pound, which is not a bargain compared to local grocery store prices. Purchasing directly from Rastelli's online store offers better value and greater flexibility, allowing customers to customize their selection by choosing preferred cuts instead of accepting a fixed assortment.
