Welp.. safeway delivery went ~$40 over the estimate because of substitutions for items with no substitution marked...

Except it wasn't actually a substitution. It was that the 4-6lb value packs of untrimmed tri-tip where 8-9lbs.

So I have 17lbs of tri tip instead of ~10lbs

Normally I trim it before cooking but after putting everything away there wasn't really space for another 8lbs of tri-tip and I didn't feel like spending 30 minutes trimming two fucking huge cuts, so I dry rubbed two of them untrimmed, one with my traditional blend of minced garlic, pepper, rock salt & onion and the other with blacken seasoning.

Gonna crisp that fat!

Then probably put them through the slicer on the food processor and we'll have lunch meat for a week.
