Got it!

The packs are 3~4#s.  I asked, specifically, for three pounders.  For as many as I want, they have to grind it.  Twenty packs, to pick up Monday.  And, they are 85%.  To be honest, by taste, 80 to 85 are best.  As 70 is a bit greasy and 93 is just too lean.  Can add butter, to lean.  Can drain greasier burger.  But losing weight, or adding cost.  By price, this is a better percentage.

Now, I discuss these things.  Check to make sure they know that I want three pound packs.  And, limit the price... get a quote written before I start.  I don't mind a few dollars in either direction, but not fifty, or a hundred, or double the seeming price per pound and what was ordered.  I get a price checked, and printed, on the order before hanging up.

Sometimes it feels like the stores are boxed into offering savings they don't want to provide.  And, their staff often doesn't know what is on sale, or how it can be packaged, etc.  Complicated.  But... with a bit of up-front effort, life can be good.  

Let me see... twenty packs, a pack a week, equals five months, give or take.  Plus with what I have.  Nice.  Oh, and since I am not getting it until Monday, I should be able to clear and clean the freezertop, so that I can just drop them in when I get home.  No fussing.  And, perhaps, push through dishes this weekend.  Yeah.  Have it clear and ready by then.

Now, to get a shower and see about getting an inspection this afternoon.  Be ready to update tags and registration.  Bleh.  Maybe even check about motorcycle add to my license.  So many new, different, odd things to do.  If I can't get it all done today, there is tomorrow.  Yeah.  

To finish my coffee.  Have some water.  Brush my teeth, trim whiskers, and shower.  Then... get ready to get out?  Today?  Or... just get up to that point, and be readier tomorrow.  We'll see.  Later.
