Then you are eating what you believe is the best, nothing wrong with that at all. That's what we all strive for including Doohop for example. I'm sure his next will be an improvement.
Pffft, "Big Bucks"? You get your PR for $5-$6 per pound most the time
The person who is concerned more about price than flavor most likely would not enjoy dry aged beef.

Dry aged would run your about $10 per pound at that rate, which is insane.
Truth be told, while I enjoy dry aged beef, I absolutely refuse to pay restaurant or butcher shop prices for it. It's kind of like Prime graded beef. Sure, it tastes great, but it's not worth 2x the price of Choice in my opinion.

I hear ya Bear. Been waiting for a good sale myself so that I could restock my freezers, it just hasn't happened sad to say.
Well said D, there is no doubt that the best PR that many have had is Bears and I am not trying to demean it in any way. It was my only intent to open a new window for members. It's not like you can't salt crust a fresh PR, I do it much more often than the dry aged one's. The only additional cost is the salt.
Sure---You could buy "Prime" instead of Choice, or buy Wagyu for a couple thousand $$$. Or Dry age it & trim off all the good stuff I paid for & end up eating 60% of what I bought.
Dave,
I know a few like that. I'll cook them some cheap pot roast or some ground beef in
Yep yep. If it helps, almost every butcher will cut a PR to order for you. You could ask for a smaller 2 bone PR to lower the cost and remove some of the anxiety.
