Questions people ask

What is the cheapest steak in NZ?

Per kilo, blade (casserole) steak, rump and schnitzel are usually the cheapest beef steak at NZ supermarkets, with sirloin, scotch fillet and eye fillet dearer. Specials reshuffle the order, so the first table on this page is rebuilt every night and sorted cheapest first.

Which steak is the best value?

Rump is the usual value pick for the grill: a tender, well-flavoured cut at a lower price per kilo than sirloin or scotch fillet. Blade and casserole steak cost less again but need long, slow cooking.

Why is the same steak a different price at each store?

PAK'nSAVE prices each store separately, New World and Woolworths price by island, and steak is a common special. A cut can be cheapest at one chain this week and another the next, which is why the meat map re-prices your nearest stores every night.

How are these steak prices worked out?

They are the per-kilogram shelf prices each retailer shows on its own public website, read every night, specials included. Woolworths prices are its non-member prices. Mad Butcher prices are its weekly specials, read on Sundays. Nothing is estimated or surveyed.
