Ground beef used to cost around $3.50 a pound.


Now it’s often $9 to $11.
That’s not just inflation that’s one of the biggest jumps in the price of a basic grocery staple.

When everyday essentials rise much faster than paychecks, something isn’t adding up.
Maybe that’s one reason more people are cutting back on meat or choosing a vegetarian lifestyle altogether.
