Costco packer cryovac on a whole ribeye is trash, wrap it in Saran twice and check it in 14 days

I got tired of losing 2 to 3 pounds of trim on dry aged ribeyes when the cryovac seal failed around day 10, so I started double wrapping with Saran and a tight layer of butcher paper on the seam side. First test was a 3 bone ribeye roast from a Costco run in Richmond and at 14 days it had zero gray spots and the smell was clean. Now I do it for every roast and I have not tossed one yet. Anybody else skip the fancy bags and just go with plastic wrap, or is that a bad habit waiting to bite me on a 30 day age?
