I've been buying this for years and very happy with the quality of the meat itself. I freeze it into 1 lb packages by eyeballing it, or so I thought. Today, I broke out the scale, and guess what? I was 6 ounces short on the weight that the label stated. I re-weighed everything and, again, short. Then, I decided to weigh the packaging. It weighed 6 ounces! I'm sorry, but I'm being sold meat for that price, not the disposable packing. It is very unethical when you consider the cost per pound and the volume of sales they sell. That's probably 2 to 2.5 dollars per package. If the packing is too expensive, they should increase the cost of the meat to cover it, that's reasonable. But don't rip off the consumer. Shame on you, Sam's club in Calumet City, Illinois!

poundage confusion says priced per pound online no it is not saying 21$ something so you can't even get say like 1 pound or 2 it's a whole package for around 22.16 and I don't want that much. they should word it different or get the actual pounds you like (3 in cart equals 3 pounds!)

I don't know what happened. This used to be our go to for hamburger meat. There was so much gristle and bone ground into the last 3 packs we purchased. It was disgusting. Not to mention one of them had some unidentifiable black bits in it. I can't even. Yuck!

I have been buying the 88/12 ground beef for several years. We really like it. If you leave it in the frig for several days, it will be dark in the center. I make mine up by the following day. I even bought a mark down pack last week. It was pink all the way through, wondered why it was marked down, but glad it was, I will continue to buy it.

I Depend On This A Staple For Meal Planning; I Keep This In My Freezer At All Times, In A Variety Of Portions Sized Respectively For Hamburgers, Meatloaf, Stuffed Peppers, Salisbury Steak, Tacos And Casseroles. The Packages Allow Me To Purchase And Divide As Needed. I've Never Experienced An Issue With Freshness, Taste, Texture, Lean VS. Fat Ratio.

I bought this item yesterday made burgers. They tasted funny but thought it was my pan. Thew my pan away. Following day I make meatball soup and the meat has the same strange, inedible taste. Threw out dinner. Disappointed as I have never had a bad experiance with Sam's ground beef. This was bought in the San Bernardino, CA location 10/15/2024.

This beef used to be so good. Now it tastes like plastic or chlorine or something chemical. Is it because you changed the packaging?? My family agrees, the past 3-4 purchases have all had this gross taste. It used to be really good beef! Will probably have to look for a new source, sadly.

I'm very picky with ground beef so my opinion is my opinion. The price is very good. It looks nice. But, I don't like the texture and mix To me, there's to much sinue. I LOVE that there's no bone, and have not bitten into anything like cartilage, unlike Safeway, their meat is inedible. To much scrap garbage, is like they don't care about what gets in the grinder. This is much better,but, to me the texture and white stuff, makes it not so good. Maybe it's better for something else like a hamburger helper,but for burgers, it's not my favorite...I bought the lower fat option as well as this, so I'm hoping that is what I'm looking for. That price is amazing too.

I have purchased this monthly at my previous Sams Club, never an issue. The pack I recently bought was rotten. It had a pretty "beefy" smell when I opened the package to divide it into smaller portions. Divided it and froze most of the package, but cooked a pound for supper that evening. The smell was so awful and disgusting. It filled the entire house. Hoping this is a one time occurance because I like the convenience and price .

I bought a package of this ground beef on July 6 I noticed the price drop by one dollar a pound now I know why they dropped it by a dollar a pound I never had tough ground beef before this was terrible couldn’t hardly Chew it i thought maybe it was just me tried it again same thing tough wife agreed. I will not buy meat from samsclub again . This is why the ground beef was $2.98 lb instead of $3.98lb it just went back up to 3,98.
