Chub rolls are cheaper by the pound if you buy by the case, provided you have the freezer space or if you are able to buy that much at one time. We consume a lot of ground beef and it made more sense to pay $3.25 a pound for 90/10 instead of $3.78.

I would never be the Carnivore Food Police. You do you. That is how I feel. I shop the manager specials at the end of the night at my store (I work at ShopRite). Some ppl get on me for shopping for expiring meat. It is not expired yet. I buy it, cook it up either that night or the next day. It is perfectly good. I do that witth other products at the store too - Just because it says “Sell Through” doesn’t mean it is expired. It means we can’t sell it past that date because of the FDA or USDA rules. My family is healthy and happy. You do you.

[@hwilcox]

I've eaten discount meat for decades and never had any issues Sam's especially as they have such a short turnaround

[@ruthgumataotao1792]

I buy reduced priced meat(frozen) and they go to my freezer. T-bone, New York, Ribeye steaks for $4-$6 a pound instead of $10-$12, of course!

[@Pambo101]

I do the same, work at Meijers

Very unhelpful comment… if u don’t like the video then move along..

We grind up pork rinds and add to our meatloaf substituting for bread crumbs.

[@sandramarshall2477]

New subscriber here that is carnivore.. I used to get meat at sams club until I found a grocer that sells prime rib roasts and NY strip roasts. Buy a roast and cut into steaks yourself will save you a TON of money. Prime rib roast in my area in Oklahoma runs @$8.89/lb. I can typically get 22 rib eye steaks from 1 roast. That alone is $6/lb savings! Also, skirt and flank steak are high heat fast sear cuts. I use my air fryer set to 400 degrees for couple min on each side. Cut AGAINST the grain to get the meat tender. Try some beef short ribs for a quick tastey treat. Bake at 350 for 20-25 min. I also make beef tenderloin chips for my snacks. Just go beyond the jerky stage in your dehydrator. Keep up the great content😊

[@mollyj409]

Where do you find the prime rib roast for $8.89? Thanks!

[@catieandthebopeeps]

Hi! Would you mind sharing the name of your grocery store? I’m in the Tulsa area! 😊

Beef Cheeks are used to make barbacoa, typically smoked, then confit cooked until very tender. It is awesome. You can also cook the tongue the same way but it is very lean. The tongue is sometimes called Lengua. Can just be slow-cooked in a crock pot. It can be cooked with the cheeks also and mixed together.

[@PlantFueledAdel]

#Texas- the H‑E‑B down in the valley would sell Barbacoa by the pound, they had both cheek and tongue to choose from. Then I learned how to make it myself.

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

Well glad to know that now because the Mexicans won't tell you what meat cuts they are in the restaurants here.

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

I have seen lengua and barbocoa on mexican menus I knew what Lengua was cause I looked it up. But when you look up Barbacoa up it just says its different cuts of meats from different animals. It never says its cheek meat.

[@la_old_salt2241]

How do you prepare tongue for cooking?

[@darchib]

I found a great recipe for birria tacos using beef cheek. They turned out great! Love this channel!

[@crae1972]

We buy all of our beef and pork from a Local Butcher Shop, its a bigger investment but i never pay more than 3.25 lb for everything

[@rachellester5357]

Don’t mind me. Just a vegetarian watching and loving this. ❤

[@jameshigginbothamiii8703]

Careful of the shrimp, anything from the Far East is a huge "no-no" they're "farmed" in basically "cess pools" or "sewage ponds," so they are fed heavily GMO and antibiotic feed to combat the bacteria I stick with locally "wild caught" shrimp. As far as the "pre-made frozen" hamburger patties, our Sam's has the Sirloin and the Grass Fed pre-made, 18 and 15 patties respectfully, both have one ingredient...sirloin or grass fed beef...yes, the "Angus" pre-made patties have the list of ingredients you spoke of.

[@hcm178]

I’m transitioning into carnivore from keto and I got a Sam’s Club membership recently. This video is super helpful! Packed with tons of great information. And had to just compliment your skin, you are glowing!

[@brittanymarie18]

Our Sam’s Club has sirloin burger patties, which the only ingredient is beef!🎉

[@jameshigginbothamiii8703]

I had cow's tongue several times in my childhood...tender and delicious, love it. You have to "clean" it before you actually eat it, I believe you boil it so that to tenderize the outer skin of the tongue. Then, you scrape or cut off that outer layer to get to the delicious tender meat. My Mom knew how to cook it perfectly.

[@Zombie-adventures]

Yep! Sometimes there are thorns stuck in the skin so need to remove it. 😁

[@hutchrt0596]

I've noticed that ALL The carnivore shopping seems to be done at Costco, but that's about 40 minutes away from us and Sam's Club is right next to us. So thank you for this! And as excited as you are about the scan and go, which is amazing, especially if you've already looked in the app and saved it before you even got there, they are also going to make it to where you can walk out the door without someone checking your receipts soon! And you will walk through something that automatically does it.

[@melissaandrews1603]

You look fabulous! Thank you for sharing. Yesterday we went to the zoo and I packed two cans of sardines in my purse just in case. 😂

[@ellenmulligan1870]

My mother loved tripe. It's cow stomach lining. Yum, right! She steamed it and cut it into small pieces. Buttered, salt, and pepper. Said it tasted better than pasta!!! Yeah!

[@IQTech61]

Dr. Berry just did a video saying that you should shop according to your budget. This is great information. Thank you.

[@lynntomk]

I buy the rotessire chicken, remove the meat vacuum foodsaver and in the freezer it goes. Keep the bones for soup. I buy 4 at a time, a 1/3 of the price of raw chicken, it's already cooked. You have much more of a meat selection than we do here at my Sam's in MI.

[@daramichels947]

Costco has the cleanest turkey deli meat I've found. The Dietz and Watson originals organic roasted turkey breast. Ingredients: turkey water, salt and vinegar. Delicious!

[@islandgurl4123]

OMG! I love the Scan and Go. Idk why people are still standing in line. I totally agree Costco needs to get with the times. They’re thinking is probably they want you to have the cashier interaction. I don’t care about that I want in/out quickly 😂

[@GearMaven]

Fortunately Costco in the Coachella Valley, CA, has self-checkout that really speeds things along on busy days.

[@islandgurl4123]

Picked up a package of Choice Ribeye at my Costco in Georgia 30 minutes ago and the everyday price has been lowered to $10.99/lb...down from $12.99/lb last week. Also picked up a 5lb bag of frozen 100% Grass-Fed 80/20 pre-made burgers for $24.79.

[@EatTravelHappy]

Beef cheeks are amazing! Slow cook or pressure cook them. They taste like the most delicious, tender pot roast you've ever had.

[@shimmerofadiamond]

Thank you so much for teaching about the "choice" and the "select" meat!!! Never would've known! We bought some steak last week and it was very chewy... Still ate it though! It was probably select 🙄 lol

[@lisacranford7649]

At Sam's Club they now have Grass-Fed Beef Burgers is the frozen section where the only ingredient is Grass-Fed beef.😁

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Haha!! At first, I was like dang! Her skin looks so dewy and nice. Then I realized you were sweating lol. Great skin, though. 😂❤

[@deeseiffer]

I just did a Sam's run the other day. Mine had $8 off each package of ribeyes. Yay! Prime is worth it if you can get there early enough to get the yellow label meat. BTW - Costco has bacon crumbles, too. I put them in/on everything.

[@That_Cajun_Guy]

The frozen burger patties in the blue bag don't have any additives. Only the red bag.

[@ashley1977t]

I don’t eat your diet but really enjoy your videos. Everyone should do what makes them feel best and I love how you are passionate about it and help people who have the same interests find solutions. We all need this kind of community and positivity.

[@davidgaitan4546]

Beef cheeks cooked low and slow can be made similar to pot roast it has alot of collagen and has the same stickiness that ox tails have. Mexicans make barbacoba light garlic, a bay leaf or 2 some onion and put it in the Crock pot.

[@kathyclancy551]

I appreciate your content. I’m sorry you have to deal with the judgmental folks. Thank you Laura 😊

[@kathleenmcclure6807]

I found brisket at Sam's Club for $2.28 per pound. Needless to say, I bought a couple. I'm learning how to smoke on my grill so I will be grilling soon.

[@hyperion_carnivore]

Beef cheeks are LIFE. Slow cook or braise them, but cook them low and slow. They're incredible.

[@stephaniefox9701]

I hope ppl don’t come for you! I mean you’re 5 years in and doing AMAZING! I love your do what you can afford attitude. This is one of the most important things you said when I first became a subscriber. I knew then I would always be able to trust your advice and build what works for me based off your knowledge. I’m lucky to be here and excited to continue. Almost 3 years watching you now. 🥩❤️🥩

[@jamesreardon8585]

Slow cook beef cheeks and all the connective tissue turns gelatinous, then flash them off in a really hot oven and slice up for gorgeous results!

Tripe is a type of edible lining from the stomachs of various farm animals. Most tripe is from cattle, pigs and sheep.

[@stevefulgione4231]

5+ years and you're doing amazing! 5-year Carnivore here as well. You guys are an inspiration. Great video today. I don't have a Sam's Club account but I will consider getting one now. That's some nice looking cuts.

[@RestorationAcresTN]

These unique cuts must be specific to your region. None of our Sam’s Club’s here in Tennessee or where I lived in southern Indiana had these.

[@corbinhudson9902]

Always Enjoy your videos. Batman Now Because Of Caveman Diet.

[@therealjenniferrr]

As someone who is chronically ill (although I've been getting better and better with supplements and carnivore), I don't have the energy and bandwidth to try to find a farm and go there all the time on top of my grocery store trips. Not to mention I really can't eat steaks anymore because of the amount of dental work I've had done (I really tried, but it takes me 10 years to eat a steak, hurts my jaw and teeth, and there are always lots of parts I actually can not chew enough and have to spit out). So ya, people need to keep their comments to themselves regarding what WE should do. Stay in your lane, Karens. 🤣 Love the grocery hauls, gives me ideas! I mostly like chicken thighs, cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped meatloaf, bacon by itself, or burgers. Just bought the avocado mayo that was in Judy's story the other day and going to try some egg and chicken salads, maybe deviled eggs. I'm going to go look for your cheese bread (bread cheese?) at Aldi later this week, Primal Kitchen also had a clean garlic marinara sauce that I picked up so I thought it would be a nice treat for "bread sticks."

[@gigigetsfit4662]

Thank you!!! I absolutely LOVE being able to watch your videos then go shopping at stores that are actually in my area. And I love being able to do something because you let us know that carnivore can be affordable. It’s not just for the 1% it’s for everyone even on a budget. You literally are a life saver. Keep up the videos we need realistic videos that are budget and time friendly. God Bless!!

[@gigigetsfit4662]

Oh yes Sam’s Club quit selling the good pork rinds in a big jug and made a members mark brand that wasn’t very good. We had to start getting baken-ets at Dollar General because neither Wal-Mart or Sam’s club offer the traditional style which is just pork skins and salt all the other flavors have msg etc.

[@Tex678]

If your kids enjoy sausage and bacon for breakfast, you should try the hatch chili breakfast chicken kiolbassa. It’s a favorite in our house.

[@DK-kg1fe]

I see you live on the East side. I live in the west valley and the Surprise Sam's has the pork rinds in the tub! We buy them all the time.

[@MrDavidknigge]

Pork country ribs are cut/sliced from the deboned shoulder you spoke of for smoking or roasting for pulled pork. Beef tongue and cheek meat both are popular with Mexicans for making barbacoa which is the world's best taco filling. Both used to be super cheap in the 1990s before so many immigrants. I pressure cook them as I do pork shoulder for pulled pork.

[@BeardedGaming96]

Biggest favor you can do for yourself is spending the money to get 100% Grass fed variants. The Omega-6 levels in grain fed beef really creates an uphill battle for any health goals one might have. Omega-3 is essential for health and weight loss

[@vdcg2010]

Costco does carry better quality meats but they’re also more expensive, like you said Sam’s Club does carry a bigger selection with more options and they have a much bigger selection of pork than Costco.

[@WDWJP30]

Great video, thank you, Laura! We don't have a Costco here so we've only had a Sam's Club membership for years. One tip for larger families - we have a couple deep freezers and we buy the meat in cases, it cuts down on the price a bit. We're a big enough family that I don't need to pre-portion the chubs of beef, chicken, or pork loin because we'll go through each one fast enough. I just thaw one at a time to use.

[@nymode]

Do you have to request the case in advance? And, how much of a discount do you typically get? Thanks in advance!

[@musings2022]

You're so inspiring. And you look beautiful and healthy! I'm so glad to see you being "normal" with budget concerns like most of us here on this earth. Thank you - you're keeping me wanting to stick to this. My glucose readings went from 350 to 91 in six weeks. I'm in this for the long haul! God bless all!

I like to parallel someone waiting in line to check out and do my scan and go. Then I grin and show them my barcode on my phone and head for the door. I've made some converts doing that.

I just recently found you on KZbin. Your videos are amazing to watch. For those of you doing carnivore, how are your numbers when you get blood work done? I have high BP, cholesterol, and a high BMI. Also, my husband loves Tripe. Here it’s made with peppers and onions in a red sauce. I tried it a long time ago. It was like chewing rubber bands! 😂

[@chicana1968]

I love the pork rinds from Sam's that tub is huge.

[@dbsmith44]

Beef cheeks are used for barbacoa. I smoke mine first then braise it in my Dutch oven in a birria sauce. Makes great tacos

[@RestorationAcresTN]

If I recall, the grass fed beef patties in the freezer section, do not have those additional ingredients.

[@SmokiesDen]

If you have a restaraunt depot in town you can go to the desk there and get a day pass and they sell cuts of every kind of meat you could ever want in every grade. They also sell almost all the stuff by the case for extra savings.

Beef Tripe is stomach. Beef check meat we love. Braised and also do a taco meat from it, which is also braised.

[@amandamoon9218]

Oh those chili pork rinds were so tart. I love chili lime flavoring but those made my cheeks pucker. I didn’t think to dip in sour cream. I’m sure that mellows them out.

beef tongue takes 18 minutes in the instapot, if u dont have one,u should, we have the 8qt pro with handles on the pot! bought the housekeeper one too, hope she would be our cook too!! and move in! good help is so hard to find, boston butt makes good sausages, and the coulot muscle makes cappacolla! beef tongue is the most tender piece on the cow!! short ribs are very tender,low and slow. Sams gurantee is in small print, you need to know it, its real !! we have home delivery, its great! its worth every cent since the wife and i are retired! 😊😊

[@vickiepeltack538]

I buy one a week of Sam’s Beef Cheek. I cook it slow and low in oven or in crock pot overnight. I only use salt for seasoning. It’s the most tender, best beef flavored beef I have ever eaten. I will never buy a roast again. I make taco bowls, I mix pork rind noodles, (ketogenic women) recipe, I use beef shank broth w my beef cheek and pork rind noodles for a soup that is so delicious. Yum. Can go wrong. Use it anywhere you use ground beef or roast.

[@catw5294]

Wow thx for the tip

[@jodycourt]

Love your videos on how you feed your family. My husband and I are ranchers so we eat a lot of beef and sometimes I buy beef at the grocery store when our freezer is low or out. Anytime you buy beef, you help ranchers make a living -- no matter where you buy it. I'd love a video on how you use your griddle. We just bought one this winter and so far, it's great. Bacon, burgers, steaks, eggs, we love it all on the griddle.

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

Thanks for telling us it supports ranchers even if we buy at the stores. I wantedvto be more supportive and buy from the farmer or rancher. Glad it still supports them no matter where we buy it from.

[@loregalore]

By by & I have been on the carnivore since mid Feb % so far so good. We bought 1 whole chuck chubby from cost o in the beginning (its not out in the case you have o ask the butchers for it) with that you get burger, ribeyes,Denver dteaks, chuck steaks. Lots of differentcuts. However, hubby found that they have large packages of stew meat (basically beef tips) & we have been buying those on a regular basis. Those pieces come from cut offs of all different types of cut of beef. Its pretty affordable also.Less than $5# by us.

[@TRuth.T]

WoW! Meat is soo expensive. I haven't looked at the store, until recently. Were grass- fed Angus beef farmers...

Thank you so much Laura for the comment about buying direct from the farmer. I do only by direct from my Farmer I actually got to raise my own food for about 10 years on 40 acres my dream was the homestead. I totally understand what you're doing and I so appreciate you giving all the information and your sweet genuine attitude you are amazing I so enjoy following you and your family I had autoimmune disease when I was in my twenties part of the reason I think I am so diligent about only eating grass fed and again because I can get it so local and have for 20 years and raw milk that's part of my Regiment of keeping healthy at almost 60 years old I'm told I look 10 years younger and it works for me but I totally totally I so appreciate you saying that today. I am so encouraged by your health journey and how healthy your family is on the carnivore diet and you sticking to your budget and so on. Keep up the good work I so enjoy your channel you are one of my favorite KZbinrs formation point

Making barbacoa tacos out of beef cheeks or a mix with beef tongue is really simple and delicious. Simple ingredients and cooked in a crockpot. Traditionally served in a tortilla(of course you can use carb smart or even the carnivore cheese shells) with a little chopped onion, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and salsa optional. Plenty of videos here on KZbin.
