How does this “save big”? Isn’t supermarket ground beef about $5/lb?

1. Many people live in studios and don't have a kitchen

2. Here in SF and every other city I lived ground beef is $9-10/lb

$9-10/lb for ground beef is 3x what I buy it for in SF.

Costco is obviously cheaper but you need a subscription and you need to commute there.

Not even talking about Costco. The neighborhood Asian grocery I shop at has it for $3-4 per pound, pretty much all the time.
