Protip:

1) Press the magical doorbell button by meat department
2) A magical fairy will appear
3) Request exactly 2 pounds of ground beef from this meat fairy
4) ???
5) Profit
my usual grocery store is pretty ghetto, the meat guy is usually out back selling heroin.

Make all of your eight 1/4 lb burgers 0.2875lbs instead of 0.2500lbs. You really think 0.0375 lbs extra per burger is going to make a difference?! Why isn't your OCD gnawing at you when you think about how much of that weight is dripped off/cooked away? Is it going to make it that much worse when I mention that leaner burgers are going to do that significantly less and are you going to worry about how lean the meat the recipe was developed with was?

I've never been to a place like that. Lots of places will let you ask the butcher for the exact item/quantity you want.

QFT..just the logistics needed to process meat in a simple supermarket in even dollar amounts would be a waste of profits.

Most meat racks target weight like 1lb, 1.5lbs, 3lbs etc...never even dollars.
