Steak is always one of the most expensive items on the menu, so if you're a meat-eater on a budget, it can be frustrating - even if you're buying at the supermarket.

Of course, different cuts of meat have varying prices, with filet often being a pricer option in comparison to sirloin or rump.

Now, one man has divided opinion after revealing his 'hack' for buying more expensive cuts of steak, but it's a little questionable to say the least.

In fact, many are questioning if it's actually legal.

A GrindFace TV video documenting the trick has gone viral online, showing the man switching up the price labels in a grocery store to try and save some cash, while still enjoying a premium steak.

It's not clear who the man is, or which store he's shopping in, but it's pretty obvious that he's trying to save by switching the tags.

In the clip, a 0.94 lb. bottom round package of steaks is going for $7.84.

However, this man wanted a better steak - a lot better, in fact. So he decided to take the label off the $7 steak and place it over another piece of meat that should set a customer back $41.

Of course, it's a hefty price difference, and many people were shocked when they saw the trick.

While it may be ribeye steaks, $41 just seems like too high a price, but why is that?

Well, WCCO News reported last year that the price of beef in Minnesota was increasing due to cattle shortage.

Kelly Schmidt, CEO of Minnesota Beef Council, said they were 'seeing record high cattle prices', explaining: "The processors in the middle that need the beef to get to the restaurants and stores, they're really having to fight for that product."

Many have flocked to the video to ask the question on whether the hack is actually legal.

Well, according to one person's story, it certainly is illegal, with one writing: "My ex went to jail for a year for that."

A second added: "I think that's called shop lifting! Haha."

While a third remarked: "As someone who's worked in a grocery store before, I'm amazed you got the sticker off so easy."Others added in the comments section they would be trying the same hack, though as some have found out, you can certainly get in trouble for it.

"This actually works though," added another.
