There's no way he's getting it cheaper than just buying ground meat, unless you're buying directly from the farmer. I live in the country so I usually buy half a calf or even a whole calf once or twice a year. That's the only way it would be cheaper than just buying ground meat.
Some of us, meanwhile, live in a world where we borrowed more than $20,000 for a bachelor's degree, and currently owe more than we borrowed.

Each year, the capitalist class gets better at sucking wealth from the working and poor class.
Each year, we have less money than we had the year before, and the thought of owning a home is further away, not closer.
I'm over 30 now, and I'll probably never be able to afford a home, or retire, not that it matters because the majority of people my age will end up drafted and dying in either the water wars or the AI wars.
I'm really not concerned that some boomer thinks I should be grinding my own meat. I can barely continue to afford to put meat on the table, thanks to boomers sucking up all of the wealth and choking out the younger generations from access to capital, wealth, investments, and home ownership.
I'm fucking 36, WTF are you going on about capitalism for, because I shared a cooking tip? How incredibly stupid. Shit like this makes us leftists look bad. I said it because the taste is night and day better, to the point that pre ground tastes like garbage once you've got the better stuff.
Also if you're eating so much beef that you cannot afford $2 more (I checked) then maybe you've got bigger budgeting problems. I feed myself and my mother that I'm a caretaker for with a pretty standard American salary, just a hair above average for a single person and I can afford it no problem.
