Tri tip

[pc farmer]

I know they are cheap on the West Coast. They are hard to find here but I went to a store that always has them. Untrimmed tri tip was 9.99 a lb. Anywhere from 30 sum bucks to over 50.

Yea Farmer, 2-3 pounds is about what they are. I’d like to see the pic of a Tip in that 4-5 pound range. You just don’t see them. Even so, in terms of steak price that is pretty cheep these days and I’d put T-Tip up against most steak cuts, but not all.

First time I saw one here , it was $18.95 a pound . I couldn't believe it . That was at a Walmart .
Found some a few years ago that were $8.95 . Low enough at that price to try it .
Fantastic cut of beef . I'd pay 9 bucks a pound once in awhile .

The one and only .

That's the price I find around here (MN) too. They usually on the small side, but not something I purchase. Wife does not like that much moo and I can find cheaper cuts to braise or grind.
Now Florida is another story. I get them at Costco Business Center in Orlando. Price has roller coaster ridden from $4 to $6 but was under $5 before we migrated.
Don't remember the size, but I roper doped Brian ( bmudd14474 ) into prepping and smoking a couple for the Florida gathering last year.

When I can find them, that's what they sell for here...

 

[Bumppo]

The regular price here is 12.99/lb. But they go on sale about once a month for 6.99 or 7.99, I always grab at least one.

A couple years ago, they would sometimes hit 4.99/lb. I'd grab as many as I could carry

 

[Newglide]

9.99 is what I trypically see them for here, I have seen them for 8.99 but not to often

 

[normanaj]

When you do see it around here it ain't cheap!I've only cooked two in my entire life.

I'VE BEEN COOKING TRITIP ON A KETTLE FOR OVER 45 YEARS NOW. ONCE YOU TRIM THE FAT OFF A FOUR POUND TRITIP IT'S A POUND LIGHTER, AND THERE'S STILL SOME FAT LEFT ON. I USED TO BUY BAGS OF 4-5 TRITIPS UNTRIMMED FOR $1.99LB, THESE DAYS I BUY TRIMMED WHEN ON SALE, NEVER SPENT MORE THAN $4.99LB. I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE WHY THEY GO FOR SO MUCH MORE MONEY THAN THEY DO IN CA AND AZ. HELL, I GRIND TRI FOR BURGERS THE LAST FEW TIMES INSTEAD OF BRISKET, THO IT SEEMS ALL MEAT COSTS A BUCK OR TWO A POUND MORE THAN IT DID SIX MONTHS AGO.

The ones you had me do were around 2.5lbs give or take.

Outside of the west coast Tri-Tip isn't know as much so its a novelty/specialty cut so they charge a premium for them. Sadly people pay for it.
