I just got some spam from Omaha steaks at $8.86 a pound for sirloin.  We
don't sell sirloin as grilling steaks.  Sirloin is naturally lean and can
give your meat a bad reputation if someone flames them on a hot grill.  We
sell ours for fajitas, Swiss steak, or any marinated steak dish.  If one
reads the USDA recommendations for cooking sirloin, it says marinate first.
Who reads the directions though?

I want to make sure I am understanding you correctly ... you are saying that
the prices on your web site are about the same as what you would have to pay
in the store for most meat?

Do others here find that their food stores charge similarly?

Sincerely,
