Food was cheap when Bush left office. Ground beef was $1.99 lb. That’s a fact.

$4.99 a pound for ground beef here. Ugh. Yeah, getting use to eating more pork and chicken and finding different ways to prepare it, but boy, do I miss a nice big juicy steak.

If it is not in the frozen mark down bin at the Commissary, it is rarely bought. The fall back is beef cutlets, 2 will make 2 meals. Ditto for pork.

You are more likely to see meatless spaghetti on the table now. And since I have health conditions, cooking is not a easy chore. We are doing more simple breakfast for dinner than ever before. Good thing only hubby uses milk on his cereal. Because that is as expensive as beef per lb.
