Average Price of Ground Beef Hits All-Time High
August 19, 2014 - 11:10 AM


The average price for all types of ground beef per pound hit its all-time high -- $3.884 per pound -- in the United States in July, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

That was up from $3.880 per pound in June. A year ago, in July 2013, the average price for a pound of ground beef was $3.459 per pound. Since then, the average price for a pound of ground beef has gone up 42.1 cents--or about 12 percent.

Five years ago, in July 2009, the average price for a pound of ground beef was $2.147, according to the BLS. In those five years, the average price has climbed by $1.737 per pound--or almost 81 percent.

Brother - between the rising cost to keep fuel in my car, to the rising cost of beef and other groceries, to the rising cost of utilities, and rents, and car insurance, and copays to my my health care provider [copay increases brought on by Obamacare], to the high cost to care for our one pet. I am sinking, and I have a bad feeling that I am about to be swallowed up in the ongoing increases that just keep a coming!

When I retired, I had a nice income. But now, well, it is getting overwhelmed by everything from tax increases to the high cost to buy a burger!

GREAT POST!

Switch to grass fed bison: $9.950 per pound. Not sure about the three decimals in money. Do we use half-pence again?

We are further along the path to the fulfillment of: "no buying or selling without the mark of the beast".

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
