Ok, but when the meat coupons are used, the prices are also in that range.
I’m not disputing your method, only trying to add to it something that might be feasible for others.
It works out to less than the cost of ground beef and I get all the extras, too. I also like the added bonus of being able to drive by and see the source of the beef I’m putting in my freezer out grazing in a nice green pasture.
I apologize if you thought I was taking issue with your method. That was not my intention at all. We’re all trying to find ways to save money these days! :-)
