Default Freezing Ground Beef

Our local WF is having a three-day sale on grass fed ground beef, which
is what we buy, anyway. We like it, and they grind and package it in
the store - it seems quite fresh to us.

Is it OK to buy extra and freeze? If so (I imagine it is OK), what are
the best practices for doing this, e.g., keep it in the Styrofoam +
plastic_wrap it comes in, put aluminum foil around that? Or put it in a
double freezer bag? Take it out of the original packaging? Etc.

We'll use it before too long, anyway, I suspect. We usually buy 2 lbs.
once a week or so - grill a few burgers, cook make the rest in frying
pan with seasoning and save in the 'frig that way, maybe add tomatoes
sauce (Sloppy Joe) to some of it.

Thanks very much.
