I rarely buy meat. But spending $200 on just meat is crazy?

Is this normal? My wife is a vegetarian, and I just realized I haven’t bought beef in a decade. Mostly just chicken (rotisserie and wings/nuggets) and cheap pork cuts for stews.

    Reading the comments- he did indeed get scammed.

    Key signs:

    • Meat was pumped with brine
    • Meat wasn’t vacuumed sealed well
    • No marbling

    I don’t fully understand the differences. Again, I don’t buy beef.

      Marbling is the fat that runs through the meat, as it cooks, the fat renders out adding flavor and preventing it from turning dry.

      Marbling:
