I doesn't have to be expensive. I bought a cheap hand grinder for $40 and have been using it for 3 years now. When I lived closer to home I would take all of my grind meat to my parents and use their big electric grinder and do it all at one time. That would be exhausting with the hand grinder so now I just do 10 lb batches and when I get close to running out of burger I grind another 10 lbs.
Other than that all you need is butcher paper. I also use press and seal so that I can get a nearly air tight seal around the meat to prevent freezer burn. Wrap in press n seal then wrap in freezer paper.
There are plenty of youtube videos that can show you how to separate out the muscle groups and which cuts are best for roast or steak or grind/stew meat.
It really is simple, all you do is follow the natural seams between muscle groups. Cut into steaks or leave the roast and wrap.
