Are we talking household use, or feast use?

I pulled up the prices for the San Diego Restaurant Depot, and found:
BEEF HALAL R/W EYE ROUND $2.34
BEEF TOP ROUND SELECT INSIDE ROUND $1.99
INSIDE TOP ROUNDS HALAL $2.49
TOP ROUNDS DENUDED HALAL $2.00
SUPERIOR CH ANGUS EYE ROUND $2.39
SUPERIOR CH ANGUS INSIDE TOP ROUNDS $2.07

All of those are price per pound, but if you can afford to cut it up and 
freeze it for household use, it's pretty economical.
