    Huge New York Steaks

    The best recomendation is how the meat looks, smells, and feels to an educated consumer. The only time I ever had a problem was twenty five odd years ago with a frozen turkey from a Super-Value store. The turkey was fine until it thawed and then it stunk to high heaven. The store manager...

    Huge New York Steaks

    Vanisle you don't know that. I've gotten to know a few of the people at the SuperStore and I see no reason to think these people would be part of some crooked date changing scheme.

    Huge New York Steaks

    Back when we lived on the mainland (Port Coquitlam)we had a Save-On and a Safeway. The two were very competitive. In Nanaimo there is a Save-On just a few blocks away and a SuperStore a litle farther. The Safeway in Nanaimo is a tiny little store out near Cedar and the aisles are barely wide...

    We already have ice forming on some things. It's not a big problem but I wouldn't turn down the temp any further than it is.

    Huge New York Steaks

    You are right, the "best before" label means exactly that. It doesn't mean it is rotten or anything. There is only my wife and I at home for the most part right now so we have to pick the four liter jug of milk at it's very best so it will last in the fridge without going off before it's finished.

    Huge New York Steaks

    I've been going to the Superstore for almost three years now and I find their quality to be excellent. Another thing we buy is Snapper and salmon filets. They do a better job on those than any of the competition. I split my shopping between the SS and Save - On so I can keep an eye on the...

    I wouldn't go near Costco for the same reason I don't shop at Home Depot. They are American conglomerates that have forced Canadian companies out of business. I know Save - On is Canadian and so is the Superstore. I will shop Canadian until I see a good reason not to.

    We split our meat shopping between the Superstore and Save -On. I've bought all the meat at our house for over forty years now and I have a pretty good eye. (for everything but thickness:smile:) I never buy frozen meats of any kind. The steaks I talked about in the OP are very nice steaks...

    Huge New York Steaks

    Seriously, you can do worse than spending your meat money on steak. We shop for meat for the next month and a half and those were the only steaks we bought. We also bought chicken and pork and fish and pasta to fill in between the steaks. I like to think that we are making up for some of...

    Huge New York Steaks

    My wife and I were at the Superstore yesterday doing a bit of grocery shopping. I picked up a package of strip loin steaks. I assumed from the thickness that there was two layers of steak but when we got them home there was just one layer of 4 steaks, roughly two and a half inches thick...
