I have a pecking, or should i say 'packing' order:
1. Cut as much steaks as i can
2. Cube as much stiry fry/stew/chili meat as i can.
3. salvage as much for grinding as i can
the theory being that i can always go down the chain of command, but not back up.
That all being said I've got sealed bags of meat scraps in the freezer waiting for me to buy my first grinder

I circled the cheapo Cabelas catalogue grinder that's now on sale for $70 for my wifey to buy for Christmas. Ive wanted the heavy duty commercial grinder for a while now but both the weight and the cost were a little off limits for us.
