Walmart sells USDA Choice ribeyes at a relatively low per-pound price of about $15. One customer named Peter reports eating around 10 ribeyes per month for over two years, selecting the fattiest steaks and finding them consistently good, with occasional standout results. The reported intake totals about 240 steaks over the period, with an average weight of 1.25 pounds each, amounting to roughly 150 pounds of ribeye per year. Beef quality is graded by USDA tiers including Select, Choice, and Prime, with Prime highest and Choice positioned in the middle. Choice ribeyes are described as good for many steak recipes while offering a balance of quality and value.
"The per-pound cost on these steaks is only around $15, a bill low enough to encourage a certain individual by the name of Peter not only to eat at least 240 of these steaks over the past couple of years, but also to take to the review page on Walmart and share the good word. "I eat roughly 10 of these a month and have been doing so for over two years," Peter says. "I pick out the fattiest steaks and they are ALWAYS good..... and occasionally they are OFF-DA-HOOK-GREAT!""
"By price alone, these steaks are clearly a pretty good deal, but to really understand what you're getting, it's important to know a bit about how cuts of beef are graded. The top three grades of beef for the USDA are Select, Choice, and Prime, and they ascend in quality in that same order. All are good cuts of meat, and well-suited to all sorts of different steak recipes, but there is a hierarchy, and these Choice steaks fall right in the middle."
"It may not be quite the same feat as eating 35,000 Big Macs, but the commitment is still impressive. At an average weight of 1.25 pounds each, that's a solid 150 pounds of ribeye a year - almost three times the amount of total beef the average American eats per year."
