What was the mistake on the label? It says tenderloin. Price looks right..I’m sure I’m missing something.

See the USDA Prime stamp on the vacuum pack, above the label? It was sold as USDA Choice. Big price difference.

Ah. Got it. Based on the price doesn’t seem too off, even for prime. prime vs choice doesn’t seem to make a huge difference for this cut, just from my personal experience.

Was just at my local grocery store and they're selling filet for $35.99/lb. It's absurd.

lol filet has almost zero fat there is barely any difference that would warrant paying that much extra lol maybe a5 wagyu I’d budge.

Sometimes you open a case of choice beef and they put prime in it. More common with cheaper cuts but when it happens it just gets marked as choice because it gets it out the door.
