Love me some beef tenderloin.  That's an expensive cut of meat to be doing too many experiments on.  I see it around here in beef country for around $20 a pound.  Thanks for the tutorial.
Try BJs, Sams, or Costco.  In our area (central Maryland) BJs has whole beef tenderloin in cryovac at $6.99 per pound.  They cut off one inch thick steaks and sell those for about $12 per pound.

I've never found it for 6.99 a pound! The cheapest I've ever seen the choice is 9.99 a pound, and the prime is 19.99 a pound.

That Choice PR I posted the other day was $5.99 per pound. My son & I got 7 of them, about 5lbs each. Costco in NJ. His inlaws got them for us.

Teamwork!

I was in Costco today and checked there.  Their cryovac full tenderloin was $9.29.  I did not see a label as to choice or prime.  Probably ungraded.   

Perhaps that $6.99 in my head came from a sale at the local Safeway a while back.  They had what looked like about 8 inches from the end of a full tenderloin, in cryovac and I'm pretty sure it was $6.99.  I cut them into steaks.  We had a pair of them that night and they were not really all that good.  Tender, but did not have as good a flavor as the porterhouse or sirloins we usually buy.
 
Hey Dick.  On that peanut butter bacon thing... I live in Portland OR the home of VooDoo Donuts.  And, yes, there is a peanut butter bacon donut.  Truly.

 OMG I saw VooDoo Donuts on either The Best Thing I Ever Ate or Unique Eats, not sure, but I decided I must visit that place before I die. What an awesome place! They had some pretty funky stuff. Love me some funky stuff, like weird Bears. I dunno.
