Ground Chuck @ Kroger was close to $5 a pound today. ($4.69 and higher) Don’t think I’ve ever seen it that high. I am surprised that the drought is affecting meat prices already, though.
Went down the street to a local store and the ground beef was considerably less. Stocked up. (I was still in shock from the $5 price @ Kroger) Kroger, being a nation-wide chain and all, may be taking advantage of the situation, maybe not.
