That's no bargain.

Why would anyone boast about eating mystery meat... buy a meat grinder and
know what/who you're eating, and save money too. Don't you realize that
when stores have a sale on ground beef, especially family size packages,
it's to dump the old meat they couldn't sell before the sell-by date and/or
is poor quality, plus a good percentage is trimmings and scraps. You
haven't a clue what/who you're eating. I regularly buy USDA Choice top
round roasts at $1.99/lb. I can grind 4 lbs in about one minute. What's
called "boneless pork chops" is also regularly $1.99/lb, grinds beautifully
with the beef for meatballs, meat loaf, chili...

I could never understand folks who have $50,000+ designer kitchens filled
with every expensive piece of designer cookware and appliance yet won't
spring for a friggin' meat grinder... tells me all that kitchen money is
wasted on just-for-show because they can't cook a lick and are afflicted
with TIAD because they sure do seem to enjoy dining on mystery meat shit.
