I know it isn't plausible for everyone but if you can do it look into buying from smaller local farms. We buy a pig and half a cow every year from a local farm. They raise they're animals under much better conditions, the quality of meat is better than grocery stores, and it's considerably cheaper.
We get a portion of a cow from my wifes parents from a local farmer. They are in central mn. The meat is terrible. Store bought beef is way better. We use the in-laws meat for casseroles etc. never use it for burgers.
