It’s always a good idea to have ground meat on hand, because it’s a pretty all-purpose ingredient that can easily help out when needed. The recipes to make with it are endless! It is therefore a good idea to buy it in bulk, exactly what Costco offers at a great price!

To make sure you don’t waste any, however, it is recommended that you freeze your meat in single servings. In addition, although the price of a package of ground meat is still very attractive, a Costco employee informed Reddit users that “For extra lean (and cheap) ground beef, ask the meat department for a 10-pound chub. We sell our regular ground beef (88/12 percent) for $3.49 a pound. The way we make it is, we take our fat trimmings from cutting steaks and mix it with the chubs to bring up the fat content and increase our profits. The 10-pound chubs are probably sitting around 5 to 8 percent fat and only cost $2.99 a pound! You’ll have to ask for these specifically as we don’t normally put them out for sale.”
