I don't think 25 lbs of chuck is too much, especially at a good price.
It's not intended to be consumed all in one day, one week, or even in
one month. Once it's portioned into steaks, a couple roasts, some
stew chunks, and a bunch ground it's not very much at all. When top
round is on sale I'll typically buy 20 pounds of roasts and grind
most... the nicest part for a couple roasts, a dozen large burgers,
and the rest bulk ground... it disappers a lot quicker than you
think... you may live alone but don't you ever have guests? No pets, I
make 12 ounce burgers because my four house cats can eaily eat half of
one.
