Ground b~~eef~~illionaire. It's surprisingly affordable, but for the best quality cuts, you have to work for it.

Hit up your local restaurant supply if you can. $4.20/lb here currently in a 10lb tube and I usually hit a sale for under $4.00/lb for 80/20. A lot of those places don't require a membership, you just need the freezer space.

I use ground turkey instead. Its under 2 dollars a pound if you buy it frozen. Doesn’t do all the things ground beef does but you can still make spaghetti without going into debt.

Why is the "we don't know what to do with these leftovers, so we shoved 'em in a grinder"-meat so expensive?

I recently started to mix in granulated soy protein into ground beef whenever I'm making burger patties. It's way cheaper and granulated soy has a lots of vitamins. Makes it a better "alternative"
