COMPLAINT!!

I don't want to pay more for my butter! $4+ a pd is too much. Same with $8-12 # for ground beef.

Just putting that out there

My son told me about the price of ground beef at the grocery store. Even for 80/20, the price is crazy talk...

If you use shea butter for homemade products, be aware that prices will be going up.

Nigeria has put a ban on selling shea nuts for 6 months. They want processing facilities to be built in their country so they can make more than a pittance on the product. They are the largest grower at 40% of the world crop.

Ground beef prices so glad the farmers are getting great $$ for cattle BUT -- a hamburger costs what a steak once did I like lean, 93% usually, and it's at $9 a pound. 85% wasn't much less. Steaks $14- 24. Yeah, baby!! it's shocking to see.

I have a few London broil frozen, & some chuck roasts, all bought on sale, under $5. I'll grind one of those suckers for next time I want ground beef. Take that market pricers!!

this is about the prices we usually pay (they're only a few miles from us):

another local store in town another direction usually beats their price by some but the quality might be not as good.

i tend to not get expensive cuts of meat as i'm pretty happy with ground chuck or chuck roasts.

I have a store a little further with better pricing than my close towns. But usually primal cuts & not always as tender as what I prefer. They do have a far better chicken, however....quality wise & good for sale prices. That's why I even tried their beef.

Oh well -- times are changing

If you can find hamburger for under $5.40 a lb, you got the least expensive processor around here beat. But you need to purchase a 1/2 of one of their beef to get that price. Else you can look at their beef bundle lower lefthand corner which is based on a 1/4 beef and see what's included and the price is per lb.

I know there is some regional price fluctuations. So I expect some prices are lower or higher.

Of course, with cut loss, the take home meat is closer to $9 per #, than $5.40. We're not gonna win Pay rail weight, take home useable is less. Of course, you can take home all the "loss" portion. Render tallow, bone broth & dog foods. Lessens actual "loss" by using it in some way.

This is the butcher we use when we actually get half a beef at their current prices. Locally raised cattle. Its much cheaper than the butcher where my Mom lives.

@Hinotori is that price for hanging weight? I suspect it is.
