Default Is there a better Beef Steak deal at Costco than this?

Publix uses an ungraded steak for the most part and it runs the gamut
from something close to prime down to dog food so you really need to
know what you are looking at. The best time to buy is
counterintuitive. It is when they are having a super sale (right now
it is rib roast for $6.99/lb). On these sales they move a lot of meat
and there are some pearls in the case. I always laugh when I see some
dumb woman saying, "look at all the fat" and they pick up something
that is pure fire engine red. It seems they trim those particularly
close so the dumb folks will grab them up. "Here is a nice one, no fat
at all". I bet you need a hack saw to cut that if they cook it "well
done" (another thing I see these snowbirds do).
I either cook it as a roast or cut it into steaks.
