- Checked yesterday - $3.69/lb for ground bison, as compared with $2.49/lb
- for extra-lean (93%) ground beef (judging from its behavior in the frying
- pan, the bison has about the same fat content as this) and $3.29 for the
- highest grade "ground round" beef. Definitely in the "gourmet" price range.
