Prior to quarantine, chuck roast was closer to $4/lb. This is legitimately insane.

  1. $10 a pound for me at Sam’s in KY where I normally shop. Was like $6 earlier this year. Chuck roast no longer on the menu for me at those prices.

    and people wonder why BBQ places charge $30+/lb for brisket

    At my Costco, American wagyu chuck is $10. I keep picking it up. So worth

    They’re on sale at Weis market in PA for 5.99/lb right now, cooked one up Saturday!

    Krogers usually has it on sale every other week

  6. Aldi’s was supposed to be the chosen one for great cheap value in groceries, especially meats. What’s happened?

    I’ve been getting the 15 dollar 2 pounders in the vacuum sealed package at walmart

    I got sticker shock too when picking up a chuck roast for a pot roast this week. already got all the other ingredients before I went to the meat section and saw the prices which I think was like 11/pound and was like nevermind then.

    That is cheaper than around me for chuck. When I asked the butcher in the meat department recently (was looking for chuck eye steaks and not chuck itself) they say prices are up due to a number of factors. In general they said beef is in higher demand, inflation in past couple years, and the big one was US cattle populations hitting lows coming out of last year and into this year.

    I paid $32 for 4 tiny steaks. EVERYTHING SUCKS RIGHT NOW!!!

    Cheaper than I have access to I think. $10 a pound is normal here in FL

    $9.99/lb at my local Costco in Indiana. Couple weeks ago I was in TN and saw chuck roast at a Publix for $11.79/lb. Another store we went to in TN had ribeye for $27.99/lb.

    My local meijer had chuck roasts (and other beef cuts) for buy one, get one 50% off. Came out to $7.34/lb for chuck roasts which seems insane to me considering earlier this year you could get them for $5.99/lb at Costco.

    Must be the new Trump Steaks that just dropped

  15. Big_fudge1337

    And here I was, rejoicing with ya. Only 8$/lbs!!!

    Is this because of the ICE raids and lack of migrant labor at processing facilities?

    Stop buying it. Seriously, shift your diet away from beef until prices subside. Reduce demand

    Beef market is high right now, lots of reasons why, tariffs, low production , feed costs high etc
