How to...swap out ground beef

Posted on August 24th, 2021 by Marie Williamson

Ground beef. A steer is not made of 100% steaks- there is about 250 pounds of ground beef! I've added a few different ground beef items so that you can swap out how many packs of our 1 pound packs of ground beef that are in your beef share.  We have an item that is FIVE 1 lb packs of ground beef, THREE 1 lb packs of ground beef, and an item that is ONE 1 lb pack of ground beef.  So you can add multiples of 1, 3, and 5 packs of ground beef to your share.

Important Customizing Info!
-All the veggies and meats have different values- some are lower (single pounds of ground beef) and some are higher (3 pound roasts) depending on type and size of the items that I put into the program's harvest selection.

-There is a box value alert at the top of your screen if you have more credit for this week- a green bar that says you can add more items to your share/box.
   
-The other customizing tip that I have noticed that helps members, is to keep adding items to your box until your shopping cart's total is just over your share's price...for example if you have a $211 regular BEEF share, go over the box value by $1-7...Try adding a single pound of ground beef..so a total of about $212-$218 or something like that.  That green bar with the box value alert should go away at that time.
