Grin, when I visit friends, I often get roped into showing them how to
make lumpia.

Making fresh lumpia is actually cheap and easy. Fat ones inbetween the
size of a thin burrito and a cigar can be make 25 at a time for pretty
much the cost of ground pork (at home, we use our own grinder). Stores
charge 1$ each for the really small ones. Make your own for whatever
the cost of 2.5-3lbs ground pork is where you are and add 3-5$ for
wrapper, carrot, and a few other things.

Generally if you can't find a pork butt at 1.59lb to grind, you
probably live out in the boonies. Sales prices can be .99lb or less
here. Ground up for you, should be less than $1.89 per lb.
