You get what you paid for,  consider how much they sell their steak at Gotham and Morton's.
Even for the same grade for steak, i.e. AAA,  the dry aged one could be 40% more than the vacuum aged one(Supermarket type).
Canada AA  usually retail for $7-$8 per pound, so a 20 oz. porterhouse would be around
$10. Butcher shop  products are usually  superior compare to supermarket's.
You can get a decent  6 oz. ribeye steak for $5-6, not bad a deal

Beefway  on Kingsway at Slocan  has restaurant quality  T-Bone steak for $8.80/LB.
They sell to high-end restaurants  and hotels. The price is close to wholesale, not
bad at all.
New Zealand beef is no way comparable to our Alberta beef, they are grass-fed and
taste gamy, leaner and tougher.
All Canadian beef are grain-fed and well-marbled, tender and rich in flavour. Or you can go
to Chinese suppliers and buy S. American steak, $2.95-3.95 per pound for ribeye(the type they use at Pho  noodle soup.
