Wal-Mart, piggy wiggly, and big star are my only choices within 30 minutes.

Looks for deals on huge hunks of steak. Can get NY Strip and sometimes Ribera under 10/lb or even better if you're willing to cut them up.
Yes sadly you do need to freeze them, but you can mitigate the damage by either vacuum sealing the meat or wrapping it in cling wrap and then alluminum foil. Keep the air out and you won't do terrible damage to the meat from freezing.
Do keep as many as reasonable to eat from the big cut in the fridge for your eating pleasure.

If the ribeye is too expensive for you right now, look at the New York strips.

Strips baby!
I prefer leaner cuts so even a sirloin or a chuck is a decent substitute. Tri-Tips are the Cali way.

Look for a top sirloin with a little marble. They grill pretty decent.

Piggly-Wiggly: Chuck-eye Steak is the Butchers Best Kept Secret.
Look for Well Marbled USDA Choice & marinate overnight.

Chuck eye's are the start of the ribeye coming off the shoulder.

Best grilling steak is skirt steak.
It's not exactly a big hunk of meat most people think of when they crave steak, but throw some soy sauce, olive oil, and lime on it for a while. Chuck it on a hot grill, and slice up against the grain.
Good stuff.
I prefer my "good" steak in a pan though.

Dales sauce and thick cut pork chops on the grill. Just as good or better!
Much cheaper.

I usually go for either a London broil (mostly because it's so lean and has a strong beefy flavor) or tri tip. They both need to be cut against the grain, like a brisket.
Tri tip always melts, and costs about $8 a pound. London broil needs to be tenderized overnight with kosher salt. But you can get it at $4 a pound, and it tastes great.

Dales is good. But it's just soy and Worcestershire sauce with done garlic powder.

Boneless Beef Short Ribs.
Spice to suit you. I use Himalayan Sea Salt, White Pepper, Paprika, some specialty salts too.

My local piggly wiggly just had ny strips for 5.73 a pound a few days ago. Check local markets often.

If you want something cheap but is good....pork steak! They are nothing like a pork chop.... rub some olive oil on them and I put rendezvous rub on them. They are a steak cut out of a pork butt.

Yeah, those are good and cheap too. I salt and seasoned pepper them overnight then pan fry in a cast iron skillet with olive oil and butter.

My man!
Your butcher marks shite down that doesn't sell. Mine does it every morning at 9:AM. Try and be there when they do it and buy what they mark down. It is typically a big savings. It also makes cooking fun because you never know what you are going to get.
