Deal Details
I was able to get about 30lbs of USDA Choice Ribeye Roast for $3.57/lb from Albertsons today through a combination of sales and coupons. For what it's worth, I'm located in Boise Idaho area, so this may be very YMMV. I do not know if this applies to other stores owned by the same parent company as Albertsons.
This deal requires the Albertsons app, which is where the For U coupons will be.
1. On the app, clip the coupon for $4.87/lb on USDA Choice Ribeye Roast 16-20lb whole in bag.
2. Also clip the coupon for $5.47/lb on USDA Choice Ribeye Roast cut.
3. Also under "Special Offers" section clip the $5 Off Purchase of $50 or More coupon.
4. Add 1 16-21 lb Ribeye Roast in bag to cart.
5. Add 1 8-11 lb Ribeye Roast cut to cart.
6. Checkout and select Pick Up.
7. Apply code SAVE30 for $30 off your first pickup order of +$75 or More. Alternatively use code SAVE20 for your first Delivery Order of $75 or More AND free delivery.
8. I can't exactly figure out how they're doing their math, because each of the items come as a range in size, so I assume they will adjust actual price when the actual weight is known - but all told, total was $149.36-$30-$5=$114.36. I assume this is for the top end of the weight range which would be 32 lbs or $3.57/lb.
Each of the meat coupons require an additional purchase of $50 or more, but if you apply both of them they count as each other's purchase requirement.
As I said, this may be very YMMV, but these seem to be very generic coupons that aren't targeted to my account specifically. Good Luck!!

That said, unless your guests are used to prime, as long as the roast looks good (bright red), seasoned correctly, and is cooked to 123-124*, then I'm sure it'll be just as good as the neighborhood butcher.

USDA Prime is top, then Choice, then Select, then Standard...and 4 others after that which include Commercial, Utility, and Cutter followed by Canner at the very bottom. One of the main characteristics of USDA Quality placement is the amount of marbling, which is assessed at a cut made between the 12th and 13th rib of the beef. The portion that is analyzed is the rib primal, from which the 7-bone rib sub-primal is produced. Upon analyzing by the USDA inspector, they assign a Quality grade that stays with each primal, sub-primal, secondary cut from that carcass.
The USDA inspects and tracks each carcass/cut of beef processed and/or sold in the US. They are the ones that assign the Quality grade and these standards have been around since they were developed in 1916 and set into motion in 1927.
As far as the age of the cattle, that is also monitored by the USDA and is a factor for Quality grade placement. You won't find old cattle in retail stores as a result. Most processing of cattle is between 18-22 months, give or take depending on breed, month they were born, how long they take to finish, etc. The US processes tens of millions of cattle each year and they have it down to a science. Everything from yield range, to hot carcass weight, to amount of corn to finish a certain weight of a certain breed are known. It's ridiculous the amount of info out there on the topic. The longer the cattle are alive past a certain point it becomes less profitable for the owner.
What I'm getting at is that it's not likely the meat that is the issue. Maybe your butchers are wet/dry aging, or there is another variable at play. If you take a 10 day old wet aged Certified Angus Beef Choice rib roast each from your butcher and you do an apples to apples comparison of another Certified Angus Beef 10 day old wet aged rib roast from any other store in the US, or even compare it to another butcher, the variation is really going to come down to the animals' genetics, what they were fed, etc. It's not like the butcher is waving a magic wand and saying "be better beef than the rest". They literally have very little influence (the same with stores) as to how the beef will taste...assuming all food safety practices are followed, etc. They can age, season, marinade, tenderize, etc.
I hope this has helped.
And by the way, you don't want "fresh" beef and have probably never had it as the flavors will be extremely muted and subtle. 50 years ago before cryovacs all beef was dry aged for at least 10 days. Now carcasses are processed within 24 hours and the beef ages in the cryovac.
