Beef - What are you paying?

[HardManifest]

These stacks use to be $45. Now these average $70+.

Three pieces of Ribeye. Cost per steak: $24.

I can afford to eat like this. What about the masses?

Geez.. $24.99 a pound. I rarely eat red meat anymore, but that's more to do with just how tough it seems for me to digest it nowadays. I'll get a pack of ground beef maybe every other week and even with that chew the hell out of it before swallowing. I love a good steak, especially a ribeye, but holy shit that's a lot of money.

HardManifest,
My wife usually gets Boneless New York Strip for $9.99 lb. at Publix. She brought home a nice RibEye last night that had the bone in for $9.99 lb.
She got it because the piece of bone was only about 3" to 4" long and 1/2" wide. One of the best pieces of meat I have had in a while.
Going back tonight to see if they have anymore in the meat section. I'll check on the boneless price for comparison.

I only ever eat ground beef. It's just easier for me to eat. I buy the whole steer and have the butcher grind it into one pound packs with the exact amount of fat that I want in it.

These pieces I place them in the oven for about 15-16 minutes. It's easy to eat. The tough part is not sharing with my dogs. I use to buy rib eyes for them when it was less than $50. Now that bill its a pricey piece of meat at $25/lb. Ground meat I go with lean chicken. I get tired of chicken easily. I just dump a bunch of spinach in it.

I do a rare cook. I like it dripping red.

The ribeye has a soft easy chew.

Anymore I only buy during sales. I typically get 80/20 ground beef between $2.98-$3.49 lb.
On occasion I find NY steak at $7,99, and ribeye between $9.99-12.99lb sale priced.
This can really add up even at those prices being that my dietary style is the species appropriate historical OG, carnivore

Grabbed Porterhouses on sale last night for $6.99/lb. I only buy steaks on sale or its just insane.

3.89/lb where at? You are getting premium for that price?

The butcher. I get a 1/2 side of beef at a time, so I split the kill fee with a buddy then pay for hanging weight. The one we butchered this year came out to $3.89 a pound when all said and done. They are Jersey's and grass fed, so they taste great. A 1/2 side of beef lasts me about 2 years, because I usually kill 3-4 deer per year and an occasional hog. Two summers ago, it was $3.63 a pound, so even directly at the source the price has gone up a bit.

I bought 1/2 a cow last year and it was around $2.50 per pound. Not sure what it is today, but I will definitely be buying another 1/2 a cow.
