Grilling season is here, and even though I'm a bit of a novice, I really enjoy getting outside and grilling hot dogs, burgers, steak, and chicken. It's a fun hobby and something that family and guests enjoy. What can I say? I like bringing smiles to people's faces.

I'm always interested in recommendations for new steaks to try. According to Eat This, Not That, BJ's has a strip steak that is a can't miss. Apparently, people are raving about the Wellesley Farms Strip Loin Steak, which is ($12.29/lb). The website notes that shoppers had some great reviews. The quality of cuts that BJ’s offers is top notch,” one said. “Great marbling in the meat, texture, and flavor is good. BJ's is the only place I’ll buy a strip steak; anywhere else I have bought beef, the strips are tough with less marbling.

The great news for Massachusetts folks is BJ's has multiple locations in the Bay State, including Chicopee, Greenfield, Pittsfield, Framingham, and many more throughout the state so it shouldn't be difficult to get your hands on these steaks, in your cart and on your grill.

If strip steak doesn't interest you, Eat This, Not That also has a recommendation on its list for prime ribeye cap steaks from Costco, and the price for the steaks is not outrageous. As a matter of fact, Costco gets a high grade for its meat department as the company prides itself on offering high-quality meat to its customers. Some customers say their meat is the best they ever had. Costco is pretty accessible to Massachusetts shoppers as the company has seven locations in the Bay State.

Keep in mind that eventhough both BJ's and Costco have stores throughout Massachusetts, you need a membership to shop in the stores.
