Just a few years ago, I could catch ground beef on sale, at the store I normaly shop, for about $2.00 a pound. Now, it usually goes on sale at about $3.00.

A few weeks ago it went down to $2.69 (highly unusual) for 80/20, so I bought 30#.

Here eggs are $4 a carton. Hamburger is more than $4 a pound for the 80/20. A roast will set you back $6 a pound. A 1 pound bag of raw beans will cost you $2.50.

We’re a small town. Rather isolated. We’re paying big city prices. (Hell, we’re paying more than the big cities. Things are cheaper in Tucson. Our gas is at highway prices.)
