Fat, said out loud
For burgers, chapli and seekh, ask for mince with about 20% fat. Very lean mince makes a dry, crumbly burger, and nobody wants that at a BBQ. For mince and tatties, bolognese or keema, leaner is fine: you can spoon off any extra after it browns.
The same day
Mince has more surface than a joint, so it doesn't sit around. Cook it within a day or two, or freeze it flat in a bag the day you buy it. Burgers and kebabs need to be cooked right through, no pink in the middle.
From the counterFreeze it flat, pressed thin. It defrosts in a couple of hours and stacks in the freezer like books.

Can I get a small amount?
Yes. Say the weight. Two burger's worth is a normal thing to ask for.
