Meat is one of those items that can be pricey, and depending on where you go, you could be spending a lot of money on a subpar product.

One of the Top Grocery Chains for Quality Meat is in Massachusetts

If you're looking for a recommendation on where to go to purchase high-quality meat, Chowhound has a few recommendations. The grocery chain at the top of the article's list is Costco. Costco's standards of meat quality are very high, which is a comforting thought. Here's Chowhound's review of Costco's meat department:

These include specialties like A5 wagyu worth hundreds of dollars and Spanish ham carving sets (also worth hundreds of dollars). If you want your money to go toward food that you don't regret buying, Costco appears to be one of the better options if you aren't aiming for bargain-basement pricing.
