My Costco had the Wagyu Ribeye for half off yesterday. I was tempted at the original $100/lb price, but finally grabbed some this time.
This is the Superior, CO store. Seems like some stores are already out of stock and others aren't on clearance yet. For those with stock at full price, I'm guessing they'll go on clearance at some point soon. The * on the price tag means it is discontinued and will no longer be restocked, so for stores with no stock you might be out of luck. The price ending in .97 means it's a manager special, so other stores with stock may or may not follow suit unfortunately.
This item doesn't appear to be on the Costco website so the required link is to an older deal when this first showed up in stores.

Wagyu beef is Wagyu beef. It's expensive for a reason, and if it's not worth it to you, just pass on the deal. It is quite literally an experience and meal in one, I for one would pay $50 for 1lb(a meal for two easily, with sides) just to try it. $25/ea is not really out of the realm of a mid-priced dinner at a restaurant.
It's insanely easy to cook and just as good as everyone says. Nobody is replacing their chuck steaks with it, that's just stupid. As a once a year meal, it's well worth it. If you can't justify it or afford it even as that, just skip it. Is that difficult or something?
I am a pretty cheap person and definitely extraordinarily far from wealthy, but I would absolutely get a pound at this price for a special meal. This is literally two full price movie tickets in most big cities.
Yep, try it once. Instead of paying 4x the cost at a restaurant.
Not going to eat this every day.
If you like it, this can be a luxury eat once in a while. Just like someone would splurge on a fine restaurant once in awhile.
If it's not for you, it's not for you.
No different than buying a luxury car or a $10K speaker. I actually think $50/lb is not that bad considering my local grocery store sells their top of the line regular Black Angus steak @ $28/lb. Also if you go to a decent restaurant you pay roughly $50 for your steak anyway (except they will give you some veggie and a drink ).

It is like butter. I thought that was an exaggeration but it's true. It is like equal fat and meat, but it's not fat like a normal steak. The fat melts at just above room temperature.
It's really something special.

Second, the rest of your info confirms my statement above. B&B Butchers is definitely not the only place "licensed" to sell authentic Japanese wagyu. I have friends who owns high end japanese restaurants in Houston. It's just not true. There is a place in Dallas that also makes this claim. It's bogus.
