Edit: don’t get me wrong, they look like solid steaks but for prime I expect better
juanmtgman1
I’m liking the marbling on the bottom right
User8858
All good
LameDonkey1
The one with the best marbling.

Bottom right, if you have to pick one up for dinner party. Otherwise come back another day, I often see better choice grade for cheaper, or much better prime grade
ChubbyWanKenobie
I always look for the biggest cap and they usually also have the best marbling.
PunkShocker
That one.
Southern-Fondant-92
For those prices, none of them
surpriseinhere
Top right for me. It’s the marbling in the meat that makes a meat prime. That package has more steaks with the marbling. Otherwise you are paying for the fat chunk. That you shouldn’t eat
Sat8nicpanic
Top for sure

The ones I the cryovac package. Take them home and cut them.

Bottom right – marbling
Mysterious_Sail47
The one you eat

One at the back right

The upside down one looks best.

Top right is my vote
gosubuilder
When it’s like this I usually skip it and try to see if choice is better. Costco be like that sometimes. And if both are mediocre try Wegmans or whole foods.

Top right

Top right. Better marbling than the others but has the smaller chunks of fat that may not be eaten.
Gunner4201
The one on my plate.
LehighAce06
The one just out of frame. Requires some knife work to break down a big one, but if you’re any good it’s worth the effort.

I really hope OP is still standing there waiting for responses

Why are you asking me? I’m a vegetarian

You can ask them if there’s more in the back. A lot of times the answer is yes and they can bring out more for you to pick. They can even bring out different cuts not on display. Don’t be force to buy subpar cuts. Just ask.

Bottom right…. Top right…. Who knows. I’ll tell you what, I just scrolled for 30 seconds and didn’t see one “bottom left” comment lol. So, close your eyes and lean to the right and grab a steak I guess

Bottom right is what I’m grabbing

My wife just found some for 8.99 a lbs, inch thick
ParticularExchange46
The roast on the right
CosmoKray
I’d go for the top right. It has a good balance of fat v meat. Bottom left is close second.

Top imo, it’s a ribeye, there’s no reason for it to be 45% fat.
JtotheC23
Bottom right looks the best and is the cheapest so that’s a double win in my book
Casengamer
Bottom left I think
Krishna1945Boom
My wife hates ribeyes. Makes me cut out the fact more for me! She doesn’t get it sadly

Free ribeye.
Rootenheimer
the one in my belly

Anyone know if there is a certain day or schedule for USDA Prime shipments at Costco? Or is it just chance?
I always scope out the red meat section when I’m there even if I’m not necessarily looking to buy, but it’s always Choice

None are amazing but the top right is best
