I'd happily buy less tender grades of beef if they were significantly
cheaper. I have good teeth--at least so far.

That said, I bought two beautifully marbled sirloins today at
Schnuck's for $4.99/#
I bought another rather thin and very lean one to cut up for stir
frying with some green bell peppers tomorrow for breakfast, with
garlic, crushed red chilies, canned (I confess) mushrooms, and soy
sauce. Yeah, that's breakfast.
