$40 per steak, Costco 11/26/25
Ok this is a problem. If this is the direction food prices are going this is not good. Who can afford beef any more?? This is nuts. I may as well plan on eating elk as it would almost be cheaper to hunt/eat haha. And hunting is the most expensive meat there is!!

When they slice it, the price goes way up!
Costco had the whole rib roast on sale last week at $75 off. It still costs a lot since beef prices are so high, but it was like 10 or so steaks for around $250. You just had to cut them to your own thickness and have some freezer space, vacuum bags etc lol. If you don't see it out, ask the guys in back for it.

I've cut back a lot of meat in my diet after some health problems but ribeyes, cap steaks, and briskets were so my jam. Never anything less than prime grade and even mixed in some A5 wagyu from time to time.
Today, it reminds me of when I quit smoking cigs. The next year, price of cigs doubled with new taxes. Seems like after I quit eating beef, prices doubled on it too.
Has booze gotten expensive too? I quit that too so if a bottle of Bulleit is costing more than $34 today, sorry Y'all.

Last of the garden veggies that haven’t been jarred or eaten. The large peppers will go in a sauce or stir fry the next few days, same with the tomatoes unless my wife eats them first. The cayenne and Thai peppers we already have a ton of. Might use these for a powder like you shake on pizza and give a bunch away. We use them in so many things.

I wish you were closer.......I could hook you up!
 
I live in two different parts of california,
the bay area, steaks can easily cost $40 a peice, in the foothills, the same steak, probably 12 to 15 dollars.

Same state, 130 miles difference, similar taxes.
Why the difference? I think it’s a matter of big name stores in large population centers keeping costs high because there is a captive audience. I guess it’s how an open market works, but people need to start looking around for better prices.

Over the summer I posted about a crazy one that would sometimes just stand or even sit there and stare in my windows just 30-40' away, on both sides of the house

I think it's the same one that ate my blackberry bushes, not the berries, the thorns!

I hope that's not her cuz she's crazy, no other deer has ever acted like her.
 
This was in the news this morning seems a town has this problem with mating deer each winter.
