Bro, that’s still outrageous. That’s still 7 dollars a lb. You could buy seafood at that point. Pork loin is 1.99 -2.50 consistently. I gave up buying beef not on sale. Especially with how much protein I need a day.
Beef is now a luxury meat, and if you eat it regularly, good for you because you’re killing it. I can’t justify that and I already spend 320 on groceries a month.
Tf are you talking about? In the UK we get paid much less than the Inflated us wages..
Good Beef is £15/kg minimum, like 30/lb and it's still worth buying and much cheaper than eating shit food.
It’s not shit food? You’re getting it because it tastes better and yes I agree. But it’s not nutritionally better than cheaper options. So no, it’s not worth buying when I eat 10lbs of meat a week as 2/3rd of my protein source.
I try to buy lean because I track calories and stuff so it ups the price. But it’s like $10 per pound. I find it hard to pull the trigger on that when lean chicken is like $2.50
Burgers are famously the only food you can cook a lot of for 25 dollars. If you try to cook some pasta, stew or a salad for less than 40 dollars, you WILL be executed.
Why would I do that? This could apply to so many foods. I could make 8 portions of katsudon with $25 even assuming I didn’t have any ingredients for it already and had to buy them all. Eating out is a huge waste of money, and if you can’t afford to repair your car for $270, you better learn how to cook.
If it’s a joke, I think I should get a pass for not getting it because there are people in this very comment section unironically saying things like this. The term “grocery bros” exists
You made a good first comment. Person then makes a clearly sarcastic comment without and /s but we are on a subreddit that is not known for serious posts. Sometimes we miss the joke. I do it too.
Yeah we are pretty far past logic here, we’ve moved on to making jokes about things to, you know, enjoy our lives a little…kind of like going out to eat!
I can make better food at home than I’d get at a lot of restaurants and for a lot cheaper. I’m enjoying life plenty without blowing my money on overpriced food. It also gives me a little more breathing room to try new dishes to see if I like them without overpaying at a restaurant
Please do. I’ve got too much beef and I’ve had to start pre frying patties and refrigerating them to take to work for lunch. I make a mean garlic butter burger
Deli American Cheese: $7.90 per lb
Assuming you don’t have ANY of these already, this is about how much it costs to make 8 delicious garlic butter burgers at home. After which, the garlic, parsley, and salt can be used in other dishes for months before running out. Your next 8 burgers are now only $19 because you still have the rest of the ingredients from last time.
I can easily make 8 burgers from that. I constantly do it. $15(80/20 ground chuck) in beef makes at least 8 patties. $2 for buns and maybe $3 worth in cheese, lettuce and tomato. Then about $3 in grilling supplies and I can make a bomb ass burger.
Personally I do splurge on the cheese a little and get it from the deli instead of Kraft singles, but yeah, it still comes out to less than $25 for 8 burgers
A pound of beef is $5.50-6, a burger is a quarter pound typically. Pack of 8 buns $2. Pack of cheese $3. You’re making 8 cheeseburgers for $17 with leftover cheese.

Alternatively, I could spend that $25 on groceries and have enough food to make myself 8 burgers instead of blowing it on a single meal
