Yup. I do the same when cruisin' for a good ribeye, even in the supermarket. There's always at least one really thick, totally marbled one to snag. I can grab the wife whatever because she wants it turned into shoe leather.

Now, when they first cut them and put them out, they are overpriced, but give it a bit of time, and they will be priced to move at a discount, but wait for it, because the day before the due date, they will go on 50% off, and then, they are the right price. If you get the family four pack at 50% off, they're even cheaper.
I only buy platinum AAA corn fed grain finished, marbled and thick, I just hunt around for the best deal, and wait for the right time to strike.
Damn it, now I'm definitely gonna get a steak tomorrow.
