| Americans buy beef in a roll? I had to look this up. In oz I have only seen this kind of packaging for pet food or lunch meat (colloquially 80/20 in this case would probably refer to the meat to sawdust ratio). Otherwise prices in Australia are similar but for beef mince from the supermarket meat counter. |

| I'm in the midwest, and 1lb 73/27 ground beef rolls are $6.44. Even 80/20 rolls don't drop below $7 unless on sale. If I want to get $5/lb ground beef, I have to stick to 73/27 rolls, and they have to be 5lb or larger. I have started seeing beef/pork mixes for $4/lb, but alas, those are not to my taste. |

| all 88/12 ground. Choice sirloin is $8/lb. Boneless chicken breast is $2.5/lb. Beef on craiglist (1/4, 1/2 or whole) is averaging $6-12/lb for mostly grass fed beef raised <50 miles from me. |
