Forget Gas Prices, What Does Meat Cost Where You're At ?

A good sized steak from the local butchers is around $16-18. Buying a nice steak in a restaurant is around $44.

We have a lot of local farms that do pork and beef around here. I can still get a good Rib Eye for $6.50 a pound. I bought some boneless country style ribs for the smoker last week and it was $1 a pound. Hamburger is a little over a $1 a pound for the 80% lean (if you buy 5lbs), if you go 93% lean it shoots up to $3.50 a pound.

Damn, never even pay attention. Recently bought a pound of ground beef. All I know is that I got 4 meals out of it. Probably was a good deal considering that.

A gallon of milk though was up to $2.49.

Gosh, it's been months since I bought meat - I usually just eat it when I go out. I think the last flank steak I bought was around $2.99 maybe 3.99 a pound? Strictly a guess. I marinate them for a day then grill them over hardwood coals. Now I want to hit the grocery ;)

Your meat counter is so colorful!!!

goodgirl and I went to a steakhouse in IN a couple weeks ago.

I had lobster and filet mignon. The steak was so tender I noticed I was holding the knife upside down and it was cutting through it with ease.

She had a New York (I think). The cost for the complete meal (appetizers, salads, drinks and 25% tip) was $65.

Moral: it depends on where you are. Last steak and lobster I ordered in Chicago was $100+ just for my dinner.

I rarely buy steaks in restaurants as I buy tenderloins and prime rib/t-bone steaks all the time. average price for a good size steak is about 12 bucks

I come from a very large family, and my dad did not make a lot of money by anyone's description.

I remember him bragging to others that my mother could stretch a pound of hamburger further than anyone he knew (this was long before Hamburger Helper, and 1# would feed 8-10 people).
