How is it? And roughly what does it cost?

Costco isn't an option here, so I'm thinking of joining Sam's Club.

Last time I checked $100 or so for the whole tenderloin. Sam's meat is pretty good.

Amy,

Sam's sell USDA Choice. (No implants like they sell at Walmart) If you schmooze the butchers, they will cut a section off the tenderloin.

Then there is the wonderful milking cow tenderloin you can buy in dairy country. Actually, it is pretty good.

Of course, you already know that there will be A LOT of trimming when buying from Sam's/Costco versus the local butcher. Little did I know that though when I decided to buy from Costco (instead of the butcher) to save some bucks. It took me by surprise since I had been used to the butcher's cut. Honestly, by the time I finished trimming two 5 lb tenderloins (and all the other tasks I had to do to get ready for the holiday party) I questioned how much I really saved. Amy, you probably can trim a BT much faster than me though!

One of my favorite beef tenderloin recipes has appeared on Google books - who knew?!

Father Tim's Beef Tenderloin

...and on someone's blog

You can use most of what you trim off the tenderloin but I agree that you don't end up with as much tenderloin as you might like.

I had much less waste breaking down a 15 lb top loin into NY strips and a roast (I know, different cut). It was between $5 and $6 a pound at Costco.

I've broken down a number of beef tenderloins, so I'm fairly familiar with the yield. It's just a lot more economical to buy it whole and butcher it myself.
