We've been saying it a lot lately: Everything is too expensive. We're all pinching pennies, trying to find the best ways to save money. Thanks to a recent study, we've got the burgers from major burger chains that will give you the best bang for your buck. The best value burgers.

These aren't necessarily the 'value burger' on the menu, it's just the burger that gives you the best value based on the price per ounce of burger.

We used kitchen scales to weigh single-patty cheeseburger variants from each of the 14 biggest U.S. burger chains and then calculated the price per ounce of meat for each burger.

The study from NetCredit lists all sorts of burger chains from across the US, but in Rochester, MN we don't care about the places that we don't even have in our city or even in the state.

So I broke it down into the best value burgers in Rochester.
