Check the price per pound of a case of chuck at Costco (around 50-60 pounds)
Or, if you have a Cash and Carry near you, you can pick up one brisket or
various cuts of chuck for reasonable prices -- they have sales at various
times. I buy from either place and grind my own. When I buy from Costco, I
cut roasts, stew meat, ground beef and then trimmings for beef broth.
Nothing is wasted.
