Cooper's
Regular Ground Beef $1/lb(5lb tube)
So this brings up the question, which is cheaper lean or regular ground beef???
I found this calculation on www.stretcher.com
Canada has guidelines for the amount of fat allowed under each heading
Regular 30%
Medium 23%
Lean 17%
Extra Lean 10%
To see a great article on why regular ground beef could be better for you than the leaner varieties go to www.practiallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/groundbeef
The calculation is the cost of the meat X 100 then divide by the percentage of fat. So for our on sale regular ground beef it would be $1.00 X 100 =100/30=$3.3333
The lean would be $1.49X100=149/17 =$8.76
So as you can see the regular is cheaper.....All that being said, I still will buy lean or extra lean to make homemade hamburgers as the burn factor wastes money too!
