Tired of High Ground Beef Prices

[Rambo]

My Wife wanted to make Chili tomorrow since we're having a little Cool front come in. I went and bought some 93/7% ground meat at $4.99 a Lb. Walmart sells their briskets for $1.99 all the time and I have grinder and vacuum sealer. I'm gonna start grinding my own HB

Great idea IMHO the hardest part would be getting the fat/lean ratio correct but after that it's a

Should be easy; separate the flat and the point: Flat= Lean , Point - either Smoke it or trim and grind for burgers

I look for chuck roasts on sale, then grind them for hamburger.

That would work too Doc but the Roasts are higher than the $1.99 Brisket

St least in my neck of the Woods I can’t find them for that price

Rediculous at it's best is all I can say, just saw 80/20 at nearly 6$ a lb up here.
Didn't even know it till it was on the checkout table so these next burgers better be good is all I can say !!

We pay nearly 11 USD for 1 lb of 90/10.

What kind of grinder are you using? I’ve been curious about this myself

It's a cabellas heavy duty; look over in the Sausage Forum and there's some pictures from a batch of sausage I made.

I do my own grinding depending on the prices, I have even ground chicken breast, then use the bones for soup with a few noodles and a carrot. I have a tenderizer for the grinder that makes great tenderized chicken or beef. You can not go wrong processing your own meat. I did this for a high school part time job when I was growing up for a small grocery store.

That's pretty normal for here. Even more for brisket. I can't believe $1.99/pound!

We're smack in beef country. Less gas and distance to haul it. Still, I can buy a good burger with all the fixins for $6, and a GREAT burger for $11 (sorry to hear that Joe), so I may have to swear off ground meet except for ABTs.

Sailor, I will make you a deal, I will ship you cheeper ground beef if you will ship me some cheeper lobster tails. In the financial world, we call this a "swap", LOL, a Win/Win.

Yessir, that's what I do. You can make your own lean/fat ratio AND it's not just the generic "ground beef" that's generally a couple pennies cheaper per lb than brisket.

Wow, I thought our ground beef was high at $3.79/lb for 80/20. I think this week Hannaford has it on special for $2.59 for a 3-5 pound package.
