You can grind your own meat in a food processor - here, ground sirloin is about 4.99 per pound, and I can usually get a round roast for 2.99 a pound on sale. The trick is to freeze it a bit first. Or, alternatively, you can buy regular ground beef and "rinse" it (a la tightwad gazette): cook the meat, dump in a strainer, fill the pan with warm water and "rinse" the beef 2x. Apparently this gets rid of quite a bit of fat.
