Saw an flyer for Giant Eagle yesterday that listed their store grind certified Angus Burger blend for $1.99 per lbs with no limit noted. Generally chuck, steak and roast trimmings. It's 75/25 , I usually buy 80/20 but at this price well worth it. Will make great burgers. It's an hour from me so I called ahead as I thought it must be a misprint in the ad, nope legit!! Here's the 33 lbs when I cleaned out the nest counter lol

Todays take was to pack them up. Breaking down to 1 lbs chunks.

Each wrapped and lightly shows in parchment paper. This is the first time I did that and always will moving forward. Made it so easy to put them in the bags and keep the bags clean for sealing.

Took me a little over an hour to pack them all up and load the freezer. If you have a Giant Eagle near you sale runs through today. It's on the 3 day special meat sale flyer. Thought I'd share in case anyone has one near by. This saved me at least $100 over my small town local pricing.
 
Nice!

Ground beef is one of the only things that EVER goes on sale here.It's 90% of what my vac sealer gets used for.

You may or may not be interested . I go through so much ground meats , I started using the reusable bags from Inkbird . I wrap the bulk in saran wrap so they don't freeze together .
Grab as needed , and reseal . Once they get packed and frozen , the bags stay in the freezer .
Even if empty . Avoids nasty stuff . I don't try to wash them .
