It's insane what beef prices are nowadays for sure. I haven't been buying beef much since I've been trying to limit red meat in our family's diet, but two weeks ago I had a hankerin' for some country style steak and gravy that would not abate.
I went to the grocery store with the intention to buy some Angus Beef cubed steak, which I did find and buy. I couldn't believe that I payed almost $14.00 for what the fine folks at marketing called a six piece family value pack.
The craving prevailed that time, but I can assure you... beef (namely Angus beef) will only be a very occasional luxury in our house, which may be a "left handed" blessing when it comes to limiting beef consumption for health reasons.
