Not sure what to post this. Was just at Costco in Matthews, NC and butcher indicated they will no longer carry tri tip due to lack of sales in the region (he said he sells a ton, but many stores avg less than ,$ 500 per week) anyone else see/hear this? He suggested writing our calling in to Costco...but sounded like it was a long shot. He mentioned that he had received a lot of complaints, but people really needed to voice opinion to corporate. Awful news...
 
I haven't heard this about Costco but as an interesting contrast my local grocer had Tri-Tip last night. I'd never seen them carry it before.
 
I am a little further south in North Florida. I have only seen tri-tip around here one time at a whole foods. The butcher said there just isn't much request for it so they dont carry it much. I was surprised since it is so good.

I guess people don't know what it is. Probably what is happening with Costco
 
That's not good news, Costco is where I get my Tri Tips from. I was there yesterday but didn't check for Tri Tip. I will next time.
 
They have been out for the past three weeks here in Indianapolis. Butcher said they were not allowed to order them at this time....and of course its when I was planning on smoking/grilling Tri-Tip.
 
Here on the left-coast, Tri-Tip is crazy expensive at Costco. Heck, it's > $7 a LBS at Winco...
 
They haven't carried it for years in Orlando. I periodically ask and all they ever have is the pre marinated kind- from Morton's maybe?
 
I verified with my local Costco this past week that they no longer carry tri tip. They said it was discontinued. Boo

And I live a little south of Rick, none to be found here also
 
I'm in Atlanta and haven't seen it in a while. I'll be sure to check with the butcher when I can catch him. Will also put in a request in the suggestion box.

We might have to go on a tri-tip campaign.
