The salesman doesn't tell you that the portion is only 6 ounces. In sales of meat, the vendor is required to provide the buyer with the net weight under New York regulations. The net weight is exclusive of any wrappers. New York also regulates freezer plans that provide large order sales, delivered directly to your freezer. If the seller won't give you the net weight or you don't get satisfaction from your freezer plan provider, call your State or local weights and measures office.
Smart shoppers compare the price per pound.
Just take out a calculator and divide the price by the weight in pounds. If they give you the weight in ounces, just divide that by 16 to get the weight in pounds. Take the time and get the best value for your money.
