Not sure if this is just a NY thing.......but the price of beef has SKYROCKETED. It is currently $10.99 a lb. at the butchers, even for the "cheaper" cuts.
Is that beef or possum? Around here ground beef is higher than that.This week in Central Texas:
Boneless Beef Chuck $2.97
Chuck Steak $3.99
Angus Boneless Chuck Pot Roast $2.99
NY Strip Steak $2.99 (Limit 2 - Reg. $3.99)
Sirloin Tip Steak, Wafer Thin $2.49
Choice London Broil $2.99
Last week, Prime Tenderloin pieces were about $22.
...Chuck Steak $3.99
NY Strip Steak $2.99 (Limit 2 - Reg. $3.99)
Choice London Broil $2.99...
You might want to look at bulk options.
I buy grass-fed beef in 60 lb parcels for about $7/lb. While that sounds expensive (and I'll admit that it is), overall it's a good deal considering that the same meat in a fancy yuppie market would probably average twice that amount - or more. Another added bonus is that you don't get any pink slime.
Whoa--I could see where you wouldn't be making a lot of meatloaf or meatballs...I guess I should not really complain about price of kosher meat if the regular meat is expensive. I pay about $6.49 per pound of ground beef.
I'm sure glad I have already done most of my eating!
That is the price we're seeing. Gotta say, I had no problem switching my protein intake to EGGS!No kidding! I'm just glad I am happy with way smaller portions, now. 80/20 ground beef was "on sale" for $3.49/lb.
