Political Ad for TV on Inflation

[TigerGrowls]

I don't know where you grocery shop but if I remember to use them, my grocery store sends me coupons for all the items I normally buy several times a month and they can be used even if the item is on sale. I also buy some items in bulk at Costco that also brings down my shopping bill. There are plenty of ways to still have a reasonable grocery bill but if that's not enough, I've twice given you links to Gwinnett County food pantries. Stop your whining.

LOL!! I don't need any advice from you junior on food procurement.

I am definitely seeing the prices continue to go up. I have my own Consumer Price Index check....Ribeye steaks. I shop a Publix and bought ribeye steak about once a month for years. Back in 2019 the average price was ~$12/lb. I stopped buying when it went above $15 in 2021....since then, I check the price of ribeye frequently as an unscientific way to see the impact of inflation. For the last 2 years the price has been continually climbing and had gotten up to $18.99 a pound last year but then dropped to $16.99 in the fall. I just checked yesterday and it was $20.99/lb, the highest since I started doing this.

I realize there could be a ton of factors that influence the price of beef, but MAN $20.99/lb for ribeye is just insane to me. Tenderloin was $31.00/lb.

I am also not sure if this is inflation or what, but either way, a staple of my past diet is no longer available to me as I will NOT pay that much for ribeye steaks.

Here's a good explainer which says the price is due to several years of drought in cattle country as well as higher input costs. Hay is a water intensive crop and ranchers couldn't afford to keep the cattle over the winter so cattle ranchers liquidated the breeding herd.

Beef prices are at record highs — how much pricier will your steak get?

Retail beef prices in the U.S. are at record highs, pushing up the price tags of not just your steak tartare, but also cheese burgers.

FAKE NEWS!!

In Joe Biden's America you don't have to go without red meat because there's always ground beef at the Gwinnett County food pantry. Don't want you to starve.
