Steak and Dinnerly

A trip to the store yesterday shocked me yet again.

True to our omnivore nature, Dana and I have steak maybe once a week.  We're going to die from red meat consumption.  At 68 I'm good with that.  Whatever diet I've been on for 68 years has been working so I'll keep it up.

But price may do what health concerns don't.  I priced a Prime beef ribeye that we'd normally get and it was $28.  Since there are two of us that would work out to $56.

This past Friday Dinnerly charged my credit card $55.31.  For that I get:

1 — Low-Carb Roast Pork and Apricot pan sauce with Spiced carrots

2 — Low Carb Baked Tilapia with zucchini, tomato, and corn

3 — Brown butter steak with Lyonnaise sweet potatoes

4 — Garlic butter chicken with french fries

That is four meals for two people for the price of two steaks.

It boggles my mind.  As I've said before the food from Dinnerly is not quite at the level of Hello Fresh or Home Chef but at about two thirds the price it is damn good, always with a vegetable, and easy to make.  

I'm hoping the inflation is transitory despite the fact that Powell stopped using that phrase (an unsettling development in itself).  I don't know who can afford Prime Rib that costs over $189 for what would serve three or four people one serving each or $28 steaks meant for one.  HEB has a prime rib on their site (18 lbs) that costs $370.  I'd be scared to cook it.

OK, enough Monday morning economic terror.

All your bases are belong to us

Google almost made me miss this by putting it in spam.

So weird they can't take the time to do it right. They need a manager or trainer or something.
