Safeway "has" $2.77/lb 93% lean ground beef on sale. None on the shelves today, but I placed an order on the app for 15 (quantities of 3, with a $35 minimum order). In for a cancelation tomorrow.
If they had it on the shelf, I'd have purchased any quantity they had. Waremart (Winco) is selling for twice that price.

I Don't see the advantage of sous vide over crockpot on pot roast or at least on my induction stove. Could be different for filet, haven't tried that.

Sous Vide is called a precision cooker, because temps can be set by half a degree. I'll cook a medium rare steak at 129 degrees, and the duration doesn't change how "done" it is. The duration only affects how tough the meat is to chew. Longer duration breaks down more connective tissues and makes the meat less tough. Duration still matters because you don't want mush.
It is more forgiving though. There's no forgetting 5 minutes and overcooking the meat. Cooking rare meat is safer because a longer duration at that temp kills more pathogens. This is the main thing for me, because I don't like meat cooked over medium. Anything over medium, and you didn't want meat in the first place. Go eat a puffed rice wafer.
