That'd be like a women with B cup breasts buying D cup bras and
stuffing them with lots of padding... a 1 gallon zip-loc will easily
contain 3+ pounds of ground meat. I make 12 ounce burgers and can
easily fit six in a 1 gallon zip-loc. With waxed paper sheets between
each they won't get freezer burn, and I don't buy meat for saving, I
don't freeze more than I will use in 2-3 months.
