That's 73% and I usually pay $18.50-$19.75 at the register even
though the price listed on the shelf is usually higher by $1-$2.
$1.90/lb is very cost effective. The next step up in bulk ground
beef is $8.50 for 3-pound chubs of 80% ($2.83/lb). I just can't
justify paying $8.50 for something that will be used to make sloppy
hoes (for example).
