Which of these is a better deal? Going to be used for making chili, meatballs, and burgers.

73/27 ground beef for $1.59/lb
vs
80/20 ground chuck for $2.99/lb

$1.59 for ground beef is cheap, even if it's that ratio. I'd go for that if you're being cost-conscious.

73/27 is great for those things but a bit on the fatty side. It's a matter of taste, but that's almost half the price of 80/20.

Is there even that big of a difference between ground beef and ground chuck?

The fatter the better, lean’s a meme.

I get so violent and angry when I get horny. I can't want to just fuck I have to hurt too. It's scary how many times I've been smoking pot and just pulled my pants off, beat off super hard and just headbutted a door until I pass out. I want to be savagely hurt by a horse trampling.

Go for the 73 27.

$1.59/lb / 0.73 = $2.18/lb of no fat
$2.99/lb / 0.80 = $3.74/lb of no fat

Always do that calculation on beef when they play the percentage game with you.

After knowing real numbers, it's all about use and how much fat you can tolerate in the cooking.

If you don't have a gall bladder, then 73/27 is off the plate unless you drain all that fat.

Fore meatballs and chili, 73/27 is great.

73/27 is only good for burgers if you're doing them on a grill.

As for ground vs. chuck...
Ground can include anus, testicles, and liver; it's anything that comes from the cow.
Chuck is specifically the tougher shoulder cut of the cow.
