Is it still what’s for dinner???
This is because of a drought last year, isn’t it?
What is driving the price upwards?
It must be deflation that’s causing beef prices to rise, kind of the same way global warming is causing record sea ice
Must be the 83%, because the 93% I buy is at $5.00 a lb. At the Navy Commissary.
Milk is nearly $4 at the Navy Commissary.
Butter is $4 a lb.
Bread over $2 if you buy name brand. Which I don’t I buy Kroger’s as it is the lowest sodium on the shelf.
And I will bet you a dime that our T-Day turkey will be costly too. Even with Kroger’s $10 deal.
I’m waiting until Kroger’s put gift cards at 4 times the points so I can get a $1 off a gal of gas up to 35 gals. That will be the extent of my CHRISTmas shopping. I am to old, and sick to shop for various age 7 grands and 5 great grands, Let the parents do it. Even my husband’s will be from Amazon.
gas right now in Millington, TN is $2.79 a gal.
I always buy Ground Sirloin. It just tastes better to me. $6.98 a pound.
Really, it seems like hamburger is becoming a luxury. And I am leaning toward more meatless meals and pasta.
Your other posting after this one doesn’t have a place to leave comments.

Ah Crap! Look what happened when the price of copper went up. Plumbing in houses being stolen. Looks like cattle rustling going to be in vogue again.
Seems you posted 2 articles at the very same time.
Just bought 80/20 at Smart and Final Sale $2.99 / lb.
Regular $3.99 / lb
Wonder if this is due to low crop yields for feed from the drought and/or diverting feed grain to ethanol production?
In August, according to BLS, the average price for a pound of all types of ground beef topped $4 for the first time—hitting $4.013. In September, the average price jumped .083 cents, an increase of 2.1 percent in one month.
A year ago, in September 2013, the average price for a pound of ground beef was $3.502 per pound. Since then, it has climbed 59.4 cents—or about 17 percent in one year.

probably not the most opportune time for the federales to announce the COLA for SS/VA to increase 1.7% because the cost of living increase is just so low.
Did your income go up 17%? Mine didn’t. It decreased.
