I needed some hamburger and went to the store that I used to work at. I should have known better. They rarely have what I want and lately the meat case has looked pitiful. I wanted burger so I could make some meatballs and some taco meat so I was looking for about 3 pounds. They had exactly 2 packs of burger and neither one looked very good.
I asked if there was anyone in the meat department. The deli girl went and looked and walked out with one, one pound pack of burger. She said he was working on it then. She asked if this was enough.
I knew when I was cooking it that it wasn't extra lean. There was way too much grease in it.
Now that I look at the price sticker I'm even wondering if that price is correct. $3.63 a pound for extra lean burger seems a little on the cheap side. Did I go back to the store? No, I didn't because I didn't have to buy it but I did anyway.

That's too bad that the store has gone so downhill. I'm glad you don't have to work there any more.
Not nice!
Not nice at all and I'm guessing this store won't be around for long.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. ♥
That's really sad about the store you worked in. Things should be top choice. I'm sorry you were not happy with what you bought either. Wow, that's a lot of grease. How is that store surviving?
That's really too bad and that is a lot of grease. I am wondering with that attitude, how long the place will last.
Our beef is nearly seven dollars a pound. That might be a pseudo hamburger. lol That was a lot of grease.
It has been a long, long time since I have bought ground beef. I had no idea it was so expensive. We have been eating venison for years, but last year there was a disease that killed most of the deer, and now I am almost out of ground venison. I will not be happy about buying ground beef at that price! Oh dear! Or should I say oh deer!
i have heard that pre-packaged meat at walmart is not packaged correctly. for instance a wrapped ham, might say it weighs 5 pounds, but if you take it over to produce, it only weighs 3 pounds!! i buy chopped meat at my butcher and it is so expensive but the taste is undeniable...so i always pay extra!!!
