What do you reckon is the best/best deal, the fresh(ish) Australian ground beef or the frozen 100% ground beef patties?

Speaking about Costco, where can you find one in Korea?

We used to buy the patties, but switched to the ground beef. For one thing, the price went down quite a bit. For another, the patties seem fattier and tougher.

Fresh GB all the way.

How much does a kilo of ground beef run at Costco?

I have to agree. I tired the frozen patties recently when they were on sale and they are definitely tough.

About 5 times what it does in Costco, USA!

That goes without saying, but I'm curious how it compares with the prices at High Street Market (which are the best I've found anywhere in Korea).

Wow, that's a lot more expensive than High Street (8,500/kilo), though it's hard to really compare without knowing the quality of each.

I think I'll need to check out High Street Market and try their ground beef. I'm assuming it's US meat. Aussie meat is nice and all, but not as cheap as a rule.

A pack at Costco in Daegu which is about 2 kg runs 18-22,000.

It's not that fatty and doesn't cook down. If I get a kg from e-mart or a local butcher it's gonna be about 20,000.

Cheapest place to buy beef in Korea is this place:

If you can buy 5 kilos at a time, you can get wholesale/restaurant prices.
