I just bought a mis-marked T-Bone Steak at Harris Teeter for $1.45!
The weight on the package says .29 lbs on sale for $4.99/lb (normally $8.99/lb). It's about 1 1/4 inch thick. My guess is the butcher is dyslexic and the steak really weighs .92 lbs, which means it should have sold for $4.59.

No second thoughts on scooping up the package. Am I bad?

:evilgrin:

3. I just about e-gasmed.
Fun fact: well marbled steak cuts like porterhouse are exceptional choices for low heat bbq and smoking.

MMMMmmmm.

5. That's their loss, not yours.
You didn't mis-mark the packaging on the steak. They made the mistake.

A customer bought a TI-89 calculator for $9.86 because someone placed (and locked) it on that hook. It originally sells for $145!

8. Make sure it's not "steek" or some other kind of mystery meat.
