Farkin Beef prices

pahutchens · Apr 12, 2014

So I've moved to Eau Claire and this was the first I needed to buy ground beef in a while. Went to local grocery store chain. Nice choices, regular, ground chuck and ground sirloin. My bride say grab some of the chuck. 4.79 a lb :tsk:
Plain ground beef was 4.29

BUT sirloin roasts were 3.98 and my wife found some chuckies for 3.09.
Bought the chuckies because I have a meat grinder :becky:

Was used to Costco frozen chubs for about 2.10 a lb last time I bought

Nice thinking, go figure the ground costs more than the whole muscle

I think we are all feeling the pinch. Beef brisket (packer), angus is $4.90/lb! I've done one brisket this year and may only do one or two more if the prices don't come down. Paying almost $60 for a brisket is insane in my opinion.

The ground is mixed with USDA approved pink slime floor scrapings.....

Did some price checking yesterday. Walmart had full brisket packers for 2.98lb. these were labeled from Excel no other info. The grocery store's packers were 4.99lb for choice.

We are in for a rough summer for meat pricing. We have the drought out in the West and the pig disease killing all the little ones. Scary stuff.

Looks like a BBQ chicken kind of summer :sad:

I'm checking the local food distributors too, that and a cooler for when I visit my kids in the Twin Cities

I'll say, a freezer is looking mighty tempting, just to take advantage should a good price come along

I just picked up two real nice cab briskets Friday at 3.29, down from 3.99 a few weeks ago.

That is a crazy price on ground. I walked out of the store yesterday in total protest over paying $4.08/lb for ground. I didn't even bother looking at anything else. I just grabbed, cursed and walked. Needless to say, the burgers alone I cooked last night were $20.... :doh:
