With costs for ground beef and chicken breasts at all-time highs, consumers have few alternatives to switch to different proteins -- so some may skip them entirely.
The US Memorial Day holiday on Monday is considered the unofficial opening of the outdoor grilling season, and the surging costs are pointing to a disappointing start.

When I was at Domino’s, I don’t remember Memorial Day being that busy, but July 4th was always one of the busiest days of the year.

My local Kroger throws away just as much meat and produce as they sell. It’s bizarre. I don’t understand it.

Grr. 102 dinners per year I make a pie. The other 263 are ground beef or bison based. No need to eat fancy, hon’, we both like this stuff and it's inexpensive to boot!
Grr!!

From my local grocery’s coupon circular - twin pack top round London broil, $1.99 a pound. Limit one, but most of them are three to five pounds.

Rising feed costs are forcing cutbacks that are expected to result in lower beef production as well as record cattle prices.next year.
All by design.
