I heard all the talkng points about the "Rush Package" and their meats - and I don't doubt they're super prime and delicious. It's just the damn price factor! For me, it's the old law of diminishing returns - after a certain point, it ain't worth it!

What we've all been doing is a mini version of the free market! We've exchanged info on quality, price, etc. and perhaps this sort of information and greater competition among the brands will result in lower prices without lower quality.

The old axiom is true: the best advertising is word of mouth. Now - since we've been exchanging gourmet and gastronomical tales, I've got another tale!

A couple months ago I received a coupon urging me to make an online purchase of some steaks. I was skeptical -- as I am of most ads -- but as an incentive I was promised a set of quality steak knives. The beef was described as magnificent prime, and the quality was detailed as to why it was so excellent, etc.

So I went for it. My mouth is now watering as I remember the succulent superbness of those steaks! Yes, of course they were more expensive than Publix -- but they were'nt outrageously so as per our absteaks. And - they were WORTH it.

This is the way I view it. To me, such orders are a special treat that I occasionally indulge in. Of course, it's not a daily staple - it's a special treat. And I think on that basis they're actually more enjoyable precisely because they aren't a daily staple but an OCCASIONAL treat.

I've been on their e-mail list and I see they're running a 60% sale for Memorial Day.

If you guys are interested I suggest you go to their site and check out their selection -- by the way, it's not limited to steaks.

I'm a shopper who looks for those special deals and sales when I purchase something a little more expensive and luxurious than the ordinary! Anyway, check it out and let me know your reactions: omahasteaks.com

thanks for the tip! :) as to expensive steaks, my grocery store by my house sells regular t-bones, NY strip, etc... they also sell fillet mignon, i buy all of them but the fillet mignon is like 2X the price and smaller then the NY strip or the t-bone.... it does taste a "little" bit better... but not sure its worth the extra cost. its like you say more of an occasional treat like you would cook up for a certain occasion with family not a regular meal.
