93% ground beef @ Sam’s in 3x 1.1lb connected packs is just under $5/lb
Same packaging for fresh boneless skinless chicken breast is $3.99/lb, or bulk is 2.99 and frozen 10lb is 23.99.
Aldi has 19oz of 93% ground turkey for $4.19 (total, not per pound).
I track the foods I buy on a spreadsheet and sort by cost per calories. I also have a couple columns for protein data since I emphasize that. I make a lot of decisions based on eating cheap and healthy so I can spend my money elsewhere.
