Me too. I never see skirt steak in my local grocery stores. Flank
steak is usually between 6.99 and 8.99 per pound. It might be around
$5 per pound at Costcos. In any case, I don't buy it often.

It's not exactly the same but if you slice it nice and thin at an
angle and against the grain it still tastes pretty good.
