(6,419 posts)One-pound pre-packaged, but that's usually organic or otherwise branded.
One and a quarter pounds, usually the "small" grocery store packaged.
Three pounds +, usually the "big" grocery store packaged.
Where I am, the 1 1/4 pound leans have been in the $10 range. Lean is anything over 75% fat free. Non-lean is pretty much crazy to eat, grease city. The pre-packaged one pounders have been $7.99-$8.99. Forget pre-made four patty hamburgers: $11.99-$13.99.
The three pounders have some sales, but usually come in around $20-$23.
You need minimum one pound for a family meal, and that's if it's in a chili or a tomato sauce with other stuff.

Most of the profit in food supply chains comes from processors who can bottleneck individual commodities. Brazilian firm JBS is leveraging its position to raise beef prices. Guess who is letting it do so:
