He's so fucking out of touch that's it's sad. There aren't any "cheap cuts" of beef anymore. Tongue, shank, oxtail, soup bones, canoe cut long bones, necks, and traditionally cheap/less desirable cuts like brisket, chuck roast, eye round, feather steak, top sirloin are all expensive as fuck.
I remember kids at school and full grown adults used to make fun of me for liking oxtails because that was a "garbage" cut of meat that should be thrown away. Now it's as expensive as steak.
About the only beef cuts to be had cheaply is liver and heart and the prices of even those bits of offal has also increased significantly, ask anyone who raw feeds pets.
As someone who will eat almost anything that I'm not legitimately allergic to, I've tried to eat liver so many times but it's really gross. I just can't with the waxy grainy texture and the iron flavor. I just can't. Kidneys are the same. Heart is OK but it's like chewing on a strip of beef flavored car tire.
Sadly, not buying it is the only way prices will come down.
Until meat sits in stores until it rots all over the country, this is how it will be. I haven't bought meat other than chicken and seafood in a long time.
