I don’t see that at all.

Prime grade NY steaks at the Kroger’s Fred Meyers near where I live in Washington State was $4.49 per pound this week. Last year, same date, they were $9.95 per pound.

I suspect that many beef producers are reducing their herds this year due to the expected higher prices for feed this winter. But it seems grain and hay prices this coming fall are not going to be that great.

It is the cost of shipping food that is expensive.

Exact opposite here at Kroger in Central Ohio.

When the wife sees meat priced cheap enough, know those coolers in the back of vehicle are going to get filled and then straight to the freezer at home.

I have seen her buy up to 70-80 lbs at a time. Some store's will try to limit her amount, but she will argue like hell if they did not have a limit advertised.
