Went to the native large grocery retailer and purchased 3 lbs of floor beef for $4.20. I’ve seen they usually mark down meat this low a couple of days earlier than the sell-by date, so I usually have an eye fixed out for it. After I acquired dwelling I divided it into three 1 lb parts and put it within the freezer for later.
As late as spring 2023, I may get marked down 90+% lean floor beef for lower than $3 for a pound. Since then they now not mark down meats greater than about 20% from the tremendous inflated costs. We since purchased a facet of grass fed beef together with a number of very lean burger. Paid $490 final summer season for what I recall was practically 100lbs. It is going to be attention-grabbing to see how a lot it is going to be this yr.
