according to government data beef price data released Thursday finds that consumers paid an average of nearly $3.50 per pound for 100% ground beef.
Obviously you can’t trust the government to get any math right. Average $3.50 I don’t believe that is correct. I stopped in my local grocery yesterday 90/10 Ground Beef cost me $6.02 a pound. The cheapest thing they had 70/30 was over $5.00 a pound.
Tomorrow’s hamburger will not get bought then.
How many fast food places will be shut down if this happens?
The year before Obummer was elected, I was paying a buck a pound for the 70/30 beef.
Nowadays, I buy strictly from my local butcher in bulk, and toss it all into the freezer.
