    Another vote for sainsburys frozen - its lean mince and virtually no fat comes out. It is not cheap however but I just use less and bulk up the rest of the dinner with extra veg, potato etc.

    I buy the steak mince frowm costco when it is on offer (like it is now) and portion it up either just as mince or i use half and make into meat balls and freeze them and just normal mince portions with the rest works out loads cheaper as you can portion to the amount you would normally use
