I was going to go with the mundane of saving money over the long run babe. But I like yours better!
Is .5 HP Grinder enough?

Well I went and did it. After comparing the sale prices of the .75 HP vs 1 HP I bought the 1 HP with the foot pedal and it was still cheaper than the .75 HP full price. I'm beyond excited. I've been wanting a grinder for years!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. People's opinions and experiences definitely led me to buying a higher horse grinder.

It was the Cushman endorsement that got buy-in from the wife, wasn't it?

Smart move. Once I got used to using the foot pedal I came to really like it. Enjoy your new grinder and good luck this season. I hope you get plenty of use out of it.
Watch for pork butts to go on sale and pick up a few and make some premium pork sausage.
I figure I make a premium fresh sausage for a little over $2 a lb vs over $6 for the lesser stuff at the store.
You might enjoy using your grinder for more than just game.
Oh man. Good call. The door is now open!!! I hadn’t even thought about non game grinding.

I just turned BOGO boston butts into hot italian sausage with a seasoning packet from Rural King. Easy and quite delicious.

It might take some time to find a seasoning you like. I get most of mine from Butcher Packer online. Good prices and good seasonings. If you ask about seasonings you will get 100 different suggestions. Good luck.

Yep, I find butts to have about the right fat content for my taste. I’m getting so lazy I been buying boneless butts because they are easier to cut up.
I’ll check them out. Thanks!
You can do it with a .5 but you will be happier with a larger one. With all of the sales coming up I’d just keep an eye out. Beside the outdoor retailers check butcher supply such as Walton’s “everything but the meat”.
I missed the last page of post. Sorry and enjoy your new grinder.
