7. Ground beef is usually packaged in three ways

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.
