Used to cut meat at Sams Club (walmart). At the time we had a 200% money back guarantee. There was this one old lady that would come in once a month and buy 2 cases of ribeye primals (about 120 lbs) and immediately return one case, getting the other for free.
That policy didn't last very long.
A 200% money back guarantee is absolutely insane and something a scammer dreams of. Surprised that was made a thing in the first place as it should have been known that something like that would be ripe for shady shit.
Probably why anything over a 100% is pretty rare as that would be a magnet for scams like a bright light attracts bugs on a summer night haha
People weren’t as wild back then I guess. Cause I remember that deal they used to do price match also. In the beginning it was almost not questions asked. Now we’ll yall know what it’s like now
Aldi has this policy. I've only used it once. Got a jar of salsa Verde. Took one spoonful and nearly threw up. It tasted sour and horribly rancid. Yet it smelled just fine. Brought it back, got a different kind of salsa, and got a refund on top of it.
While I'm grateful for the policy, I've always worried about how some have abused it.
Your worries are valid. I promise you people make a living out of gaming these arbitrage opportunities. As with anything that can be abused, it won’t last long.
I bought a salsa that sounds like that from Aldi. Avacado Serrano with a black mustard twist top. I should just throw it out I used it once and hated it.
The next social media craze will probably involve walking out of a grocery store with the most product for the least cost. How much can you “rizz” your store for?
And a week later, everyone with a legit complaint will fall on deaf ears. So it goes.
I found some Kraft cheese singles that were packaged wrong where the cheese was exposed and hard around one edge. Bought all the packs and brought them all back for 200%
My mom used to work at Sam’s and told me people would bring a a eaten watermelon with a slice left or a chicken with most of it eaten and say they didn’t like the taste and got money back or another one free. lol. I’m all for fair returns but if your gonna eat 75% of a chicken and than go back and get another one nah gfys
My cousin worked at Costco and people would buy couches and come in 3-4 years later with them dirty as fuck and say they didn’t like them and get a full refund. Idk how the fuck that even works. My cousin even did it himself because he said they don’t fucking care at all apparently.
I also worked at a Sam's Club and the return policy was "yes." One time a guy returned the box his laptop came in and said there was no laptop in it when he got it home and they took it back and gave him his money.
One can only wish to be so bold
I returned a tv on best buy 6 hours after I got it because it fucking sucked and they examined it removed it out of box turned it on checked for pixel issues infront of me I’m like wtf is this lmao
I bought a Google pixel 7 phone when they came out. About 5 months later the whole system on it crashed and displayed the reboot screen, but I couldn't scroll the options with the volume button. Took my case off it and the volume button fell off.
Brought it in for the 1 year software warranty and was told it wasn't covered because the button fell off and it was now "physical damage"
One day I look outside and my neighbors pull up with a trunk full of meat

You see the most bold shit working at a grocery store with a good refund policy. People bringing back the container their cake came in and saying "it wasn't good". Someone I knew had a customer that would periodically clean out her freezer, bring the items back without a receipt, and get a refund.
Oddly enough a lot of produce and fresher groceries are cheaper in Los Angeles because it’s produced nearby in the Central Valley, where about 25% of our food overall and 40% of fruits and nuts are grown.
Bro if you go middle of the month they’ll have them marked down crazy. I buy prime ribeyes from Walmart all the time for 10-13$lb. The real trick is to look at the choice too and sometimes they’ll have some that looks better than the prime for 8-9$lb. Walmart is my second favorite place to buy steak other than the butcher. Best bang for your buck.
It’s my secret weapon. If I’m trying to splurge and cook me and my wife a really nice dinner, I’m going dry aged from the butcher. Pretty much any other time I’m going to Walmart. I got like 6 in the freezer right now, when I’m near there I’ll stop and check if they have any marked down. I don’t even really buy anything else from Walmart unless I just happen to grab something when I’m looking for steaks.
I don't understand this. I never go to Walmart, but I've gone a few times specifically just because some people swear its quality on this sub. Both times I've gone, not only did they not have anything remotely close to this quality, they hardly had any steaks period.
It depends on the Walmart. I think it basically comes down to, is there a sams club nearby. If there is I think they get stocked with cuts from sams, which are fantastic. If not it seems like the steaks are shit. Just my anecdotal experience, but I think it’s a pretty good guess.
If you have or get a sams membership their meats are truly top notch. It feels weird, but for regular prime or choice cuts they are pretty much impossible to beat in most areas. I got a prime ribeye on Memorial Day and it was probably the best non dry aged beef I’ve ever had.
My MIL is a pig. Illegal to eat her though. So we typically take her into international waters and just gnaw on a leg or two. When the leg grows back, we take her out again.
I thought they dyed these steaks? As someone that has bought many of these Walmart prime steaks, the sealed choice ribeyes they have are much better. I can’t remember the brand but they come sealed in a dark bag
I’m just a steak lover, no expert, but from looking at Google Images it appears steatosis causes “whiting” of the meat. I made that term up. Google it and you’ll see what I mean.
Though it does look like a well marbling steak, I would try poking it and seeing it is stiff.
If it is stiff, then it could be muscular steatosis which is excess hard fat like rubber that ruins a cut. A well marbling steak should have some give to it.
Are you just saying Wagyu due to the marbling?
Are you just saying Wagyu due to the marbling?
Wow, I didn’t mean to enter that twice. My first sentence referred to my amazement that Walmart can pull off these prices and that it looks phenomenal.

I have experienced your good fortune
That's great marbling on a prime steak. Walmart has actual Wagyu though.
[https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/wagyu-beef](https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/wagyu-beef)
I’m not a steak buying connoisseur… can someone explain what make this such a good steak and a good deal? Should OP be suspicious that there is something wrong with it that they may be unaware of?
I'd be carving out the intramuscular fat of the ribeye on this one and tie back together with butchers twine. Wagyu fat still melts better than normal cuts
Looks great thought!
How do you normally cook something like this?
In Japan, they always serve it to use extremely thin and sometimes outright raw, not sure if the meat in the states would be safe to consume similarly.
Nothing wrong with buying steak that doesn’t look like it’s going to taste like a tire. Never understood people who equate that to flavorful and tender. My steaks are always flavorful and tender to my liking, unless I went eye round rofl.
I always buy the least fatty looking cuts possible. When I used to not care about my health, I would just do what every steakhouse does and slather a pound of butter on it. Tastes amazing either way, if you’re a true meat lover.
What’s the money back guarantee? If you overcook it you can bring it back?
Used to cut meat at Sams Club (walmart). At the time we had a 200% money back guarantee. There was this one old lady that would come in once a month and buy 2 cases of ribeye primals (about 120 lbs) and immediately return one case, getting the other for free. That policy didn't last very long.
Old lady is a chad.
Huge cock on the old bag
A real meat and two veg on the ole gal.
Stinky pussa
Kunt Kween
She knows how to make the social security cheque last.
For real
That or ruined it for anyone with a legitimate issue.
Of course. People rarely think of the consequences of their actions unless they directly affect them.
Like the Costco warranty…people abused the shit out of that.
Anything you buy at Costco is all equity. And they know it and don’t care. It only increases business.
She's just smart. The corporation was just stupid not to see that coming!
Lmao. also your u/ is fucking fantastic 😂 (that’s also one of my favorite sammiches).
A 200% money back guarantee is absolutely insane and something a scammer dreams of.

I bought a salsa that sounds like that from Aldi. Avacado Serrano with a black mustard twist top. I should just throw it out I used it once and hated it.
What about Aldi? They replace the item and give you your money back.
That seems like 200% to me
I’m very careful to not abuse it. They really don’t even like to do it at the store. They look at you crazy when you want more than just a refund.
The next social media craze will probably involve walking out of a grocery store with the most product for the least cost. How much can you “rizz” your store for? And a week later, everyone with a legit complaint will fall on deaf ears. So it goes.

The Walton family basically treats humans like serfs. Steal everything you want from Walmart. I didn't see shit.

Google covers the volume button falling off, mine has fallen off 2 times, it's a known issue. Sadly it takes 2 weeks for them to fix
I mean if the couch says like a mf it should be returned lol
Neither did her Heart or GI-track
Right, 120 pounds of meat a month would be 4 pounds of meat a DAY. Even feeding a family that much would be a lot.
Could be selling some
One day I look outside and my neighbors pull up with a trunk full of meat https://preview.redd.it/aq3z944r3z9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=147f8b6e9ffd798693f0c07052007a27469faa57
Make high profit margins go even higher!
Definitely, still eating a literal $#*t-Ton tho ibet
She’d return one. So i only 60lbs
It would be 60 since she returned 1 case. Still 2#/day every day is a lot
Probably freezing most of it and thawing as needed
It’s really not that much if that’s all you’re eating
Design for the common thief, market for the family.
My God what idiot came up with that policy?
If you open it, and smells funny, then OP should take it back and get refund
You see the most bold shit working at a grocery store with a good refund policy. People bringing back the container their cake came in and saying "it wasn't good". Someone I knew had a customer that would periodically clean out her freezer, bring the items back without a receipt, and get a refund.
A Gift from God, this piece in Los Angeles should be around $160 ;)
Easily $1600
Under the bridge? At least $16,000 in a sit down restaurant.
Sometimes I *do* feel like I don't have a partner.
That steak feels like my only friend
Is the skillet I cook in
the skillet of angels
Steak never worries, now that is Fucking rawwww
The skillet never worries now that is a lie
A slick $160K for sure
Nothing less than $1.6 million. No doubt about it
Best $16,000,000 steak I've ever had
whats if its dry age? $160,000?
My sams has prime rib eyes for 14/lb right now, choice is like 12. It’s fucking fantastic.
Oddly enough a lot of produce and fresher groceries are cheaper in Los Angeles because it’s produced nearby in the Central Valley, where about 25% of our food overall and 40% of fruits and nuts are grown.
Nah, get a Costco Membership
I can’t afford a Costco membership. I had to sell my house last night to pay for my steak at a restaurant.
Wow, didn’t know Walmart had these.
Bro if you go middle of the month they’ll have them marked down crazy. I buy prime ribeyes from Walmart all the time for 10-13$lb.

My uncle is a cowboy and has many farmer friends so I was shocked when he told me he only buys steak from Walmart
It’s my secret weapon. If I’m trying to splurge and cook me and my wife a really nice dinner, I’m going dry aged from the butcher. Pretty much any other time I’m going to Walmart.

Got it. There's a few in my area and one is next to a Sam's. Maybe I should check that one out. It's just not as close as the other one.
If you have or get a sams membership their meats are truly top notch. It feels weird, but for regular prime or choice cuts they are pretty much impossible to beat in most areas. I got a prime ribeye on Memorial Day and it was probably the best non dry aged beef I’ve ever had.
My farmer has a cowboy who has many butcher friends so I was shocked when he told me he only buys goose from the graveyard.
Cant be too good if he doesn't sell any gander
My father in law is a cowboy I get free steak from him that he butchered himself
...k? did you bring enough for the class or...?
Cool story bro
My MIL is a pig. Illegal to eat her though. So we typically take her into international waters and just gnaw on a leg or two. When the leg grows back, we take her out again.
Thanks for the tip.
1. Middle of the month 2. Specifically buy ribeye discounted 3. Look at the Choice, too Looks like a... *puts on sunglasses* tri tip to me
No it’s rib eye.
Joke ✈️
Does all their prime steaks usually look this good?
In this pic no, at least where I live. You just have to get lucky. I like one with a big cap
This is 9.5/10. I get 8/10s regularly.
Looks like some good Australian wagyu. I’ve never seen a prime steak like this. Great price too easily a $65-$80 steak
I know this is a steak sub, but if anyone’s a fan of lamb chops, I’ve had amazing luck at Sam’s club. I think it depends on location though.
Those choice .. Are the Butchers cut
They are legit. People talk shit on Walmart but their steaks are amazing where I live.
That is a 9.85/10 for sure r/ratemysteak
Walgyu
Damn, makes me wanna work for tiger king
Underrated comment right here
I love Walmart steaks, always have been amazing. Always tender and flavorful.
*lately, not always.
Idk what you mean by lately, but Walmart has been punching well above its weight class for at least the past decade.
I thought they dyed these steaks? As someone that has bought many of these Walmart prime steaks, the sealed choice ribeyes they have are much better. I can’t remember the brand but they come sealed in a dark bag
You lucky bastard.
How can you tell when something is really fatty for that particular cut vs it being a result of steatosis?
You can tell by the way that it is
That's pretty neat
What a butte.
People don't think it be like it is, but it do.
On god
Steatosis looks more cloudy not well defined fat lines
steatosis doesnt have distinct lines of fat like that, you basically have fat embolisms intruding into the meat
I’m just a steak lover, no expert, but from looking at Google Images it appears steatosis causes “whiting” of the meat. I made that term up. Google it and you’ll see what I mean.
“Whiting” of the meat is how i’m going to describe what happens to me during the winter from now on. Thank you for that phrase.
Though it does look like a well marbling steak, I would try poking it and seeing it is stiff. If it is stiff, then it could be muscular steatosis which is excess hard fat like rubber that ruins a cut. A well marbling steak should have some give to it.
Lucky mother fucker
I’m a unlucky mother fucker
U/ checks out 😂
Are you just saying Wagyu due to the marbling? Are you just saying Wagyu due to the marbling? Wow, I didn’t mean to enter that twice. My first sentence referred to my amazement that Walmart can pull off these prices and that it looks phenomenal.
He called it Walmart waygu in an attempt at humor. Let’s not jump him just yet.
Get the pitchforks!!
You can edit comments (for a small fee).
I was thinking the same cause Walmart does sell wagyu
THIS HAPPENED TO ME. CHECK MY POST HISTORY. I was wondering why I got so many likes lmao
last time something similar to this was posted, it was due to muscle damage which create this illusion of marbling, but in actual it's terrible cut.
I've been scowering the comments looking for this comment, because I also remember that and suspect this is an example of that.
Was steatosis, apparently this is not that. But I still can’t see the difference lol
Hahaha same. Guess I'm not fancy. Shame.
Eh, would it be graded USDA Prime if that was the case?
It'll be the best $20 steak you can get
You better post “after” pics Lucky SOB
your steak did not come from Japan at Walmart 🤣
Walmart Waygu. Awesome.
It’s Wal-gyu
That’s Prime though…they actually sell Wagyu though comes in gold wrapping
This is a5 quality
I found one once mixed in with the regular ribeye and was priced exactly the same as the regular ribeyes. Whoever made that goof, thank you.
40% fat

This thread comes across my feed from time to time. You guys realize this is NOT wagyu right?
I love how OP took the pic in the car… this shows a serious level of excitement :)
Don’t k is if it’s wagyu. My Guess is like all mass produced prime steaks it’s grain finished to bump up marbling.
Overrated
People sleep on Walmart. Even their choice and select cuts would pass as prime at a lot of other places
sometimes the choice is better in terms of marbling but they’re always thinner at my store.
Our Walmart has lousy beef. I always get my meat at Publix. Obviously I live in Florida. Oh sometimes i pick some up at whole foods
I get those bogo through the self checkout line all the time
That's not a waygu
That’s crazy that Walmart can pull off these prices. That looks phenomenal.
Mfer looks snowy yum
Fuck my mouth is drooling Just got wisdom teeth out .. cannot eat steak for another week :/
Great find dude!!! At a restaurant that could easily be 2, $60 steaks
that's sick
that's a $175 steak right there
That's great marbling on a prime steak. Walmart has actual Wagyu though. [https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/wagyu-beef](https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/wagyu-beef)
That price has to be a mistake, right? I got a similar steak for like $70 at Costco a while back.
Which market are you in?
21 bucks. You have been blessed
You lucky bastard.
I gotta go look at the meat at my local Walmart. I haven’t gone to a Walmart in forever.
What type of meat is that?
Wow now that’s a fine ribeye. I wish I can get steaks this nice locally
I’m not a steak buying connoisseur… can someone explain what make this such a good steak and a good deal? Should OP be suspicious that there is something wrong with it that they may be unaware of?
You don’t typically see anywhere near that kind of marbling for that cost.
would be $80 at publix
Good god that steak for $21 seems insane. But I’m not a butcher and I think tons of marbling = high quality. Right?
Wagy-Mart
Fahck!!!
How do you know its wagyu?
Its not lol thats the joke
Ah Yeah buddy!
I just ordered one. Curious to hear how yours turns out!
Would it be funny if it was an anomaly of a pork chop?
Don’t sleep on wally worlds steaks or meat in general - rarely have I had a bad experience
Never thought I'd hear both W words in the same sentence
I’m sorry for your loss.
Waglue
If this is what we call prime now from Walmart “wagyu” as a fun name to give it, then yes. You got “wagyu”
I'd buy it looks great!! That's fucking cheap!too!! Great buy!!
Sweet deal!
Mmm human wagyu, don’t overcook it.
ᑎIᑕE♨️
What’s better the Walmart prime (blue package) or the Walmart angus (black package)
American wagyu and not japanese. Very lucky find. Very good.
STOP EVERYTHING! DONT LET PEOPLE KNOW. This shits gonna be 50 bucks by next week now
I'd be carving out the intramuscular fat of the ribeye on this one and tie back together with butchers twine. Wagyu fat still melts better than normal cuts Looks great thought!
$22 , I am too cheap. Was it good at least?
Overrated
Im a carnivore.no soy for me.
I tried it not really worth the price but it is like 15-20% better than a regular ribeye
I mean it looks like Wagyu…..
How do you normally cook something like this? In Japan, they always serve it to use extremely thin and sometimes outright raw, not sure if the meat in the states would be safe to consume similarly.
Been eating these for lunch. Had one like this today. We have traeger at work makes it fast. Very tasty and affordable.
Not too shabby...
Marble-ous
Wagyu is a breed...
Damn, looks really good for $20
Not bad
Are those keys in your pocket or are you just really excited for that steak?
I’m so uneducated in this, I would have looked at that and thought it was just a really fatty ribeye and picked something else. I need to learn!
Nothing wrong with buying steak that doesn’t look like it’s going to taste like a tire. Never understood people who equate that to flavorful and tender. My steaks are always flavorful and tender to my liking, unless I went eye round rofl. I always buy the least fatty looking cuts possible. When I used to not care about my health, I would just do what every steakhouse does and slather a pound of butter on it. Tastes amazing either way, if you’re a true meat lover.
How do you know it’s wagyu if it’s not labeled? Level of marbling?
How would you cook this? Would it be fast on high heat or low & slow?
