Mina Starsiak Hawkshared aCostcohack for “all the deal lovers, protein junkies, and good old fashion meat lovers” looking to save on ground beef.

Mina confirmed in the video that the beef they bought was 88% lean. She said to ask for the “meat tube” at Costco’s meat section in-store.

She then cut the tube into five “2 lb. chunks” and froze them. She said that the 10 lbs. of ground meat would last her and the family “probably two weeks.”

Mina then broke the prices down further and explained that the meat added up to about “$4-$5 a pound” at Costco, versus the “$8-$12 per pound” she previously paid buying ground meat at Whole Foods. That adds up to a total savings of about $75.

“The Costco Meat Tube hack y’all. 🥩,” she captioned the video.

“He’s going through life the best way he can after just some really, really epic loss in a very, very short amount of time,” Mina said in the clip. “And because his time with his family was cut short, that’s really why we wanted this lake house for Jack and Charlie — really, for the long term, for the memories, for the experiences. So that’s, I think, why it’s really important to both of us.”
