I suppose you can tell I don't make a habit of buying filet. :lol:

Fruit stands in NYC have them for $2 to $3 for that size I think...I don't eat them a lot, but they're in the outer rotation of my fruit life...

It's obviously not super ideal, but depending on your volume, have you looked into bags of frozen...?

I buy raspberries for my wife quite often, and my grocery store (Giant) frequently has BOGO deals for them and blueberries. We love raspberries, but they always go bad the quickest - especially compared to blueberries and strawberries.

Dang, that's a good price.

I don't think I've ever eaten a frozen raspberry. I just eat them straight out of the container so I don't if frozen ones would have that same "pop in my mouth" ability. I might give them a try when the fresh ones dry up though.

Marginally related, I also bought a container of blackberries yesterday. Same price and they're so bitter I was still tasting them hours after eating a couple.

Fruit's a gamble.

"I know that goin in..."

I'd give a frozen bag a try...both frozen and slightly thawed...see what you think...

Otherwise, I'll just fill in an uber with raspberry containers and send it your way...

I'll have to watch for that at GE. Thanks for the tip!

And yeah, they don't last long. I bought a pack yesterday and today the bottom level was already mushy.

Depending on sourcing, beef tenderloin at the grocery store in my neighborhood is between $22/lb and $35.99/lb.

Fresh Market has it for $19.99/lb, and theirs is worth every penny, IMO.

My FIL just had open heart surgery in Jan... his diet allows him to eat red meat twice a week. It got me thinking about how often I eat red meat, and to be honest I'd be surprised if I eat red meat twice a month. Just not something we eat in my household.

If that's a good standard, I'm doing just fine. We probably have red meat 3-5 times/month, if that.

Yeah, my wife and I heard that and thought... whoa. Twice a week. That's a lot. But he took it as "only" twice a week and he wasn't happy about it. :lol:

Why are raspberries to darn expensive? $5 for 6 ounces. They're probably the one "healthy" food I actually like to eat and they're more expensive than filet mignon.

I paid $7 for a quart of black raspberries.

I eat read meat probably 4-5 times a week. I'm sure this comes to no surprise to yall but I'm a picky eater and I don't like poultry (so no chicken or turkey) and most fish. So if I'm eating meat it's either read meat or shrimp, generally

I love that you felt the need to point out what poultry was. :lol:

You live in NC. Go get yourself some pulled pork.

But make sure it's from a place that uses tomato based sauce, none of that vinegar bullshit.

:face:

Cider vinegar and crushed red pepper. Get tomato based sauces out of here. BBQ ain't no I-talian food.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or if you don't know that Kansas City style BBQ is tomato-based.

That's meat that's been barbecued with sauce (bbq the verb) vs pulled pork in NC (bbq the noun).
