Cost of beef going down?
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:20 pm
I bought the most beautiful dinner plate size 1.5 lb portherhouse steaks the other day--the deluxe section with the thickest part of the filet attached and almost no bone--Black Angus choice, for $7.99/lb. These weren't on sale, it's just the current price. In August, the same steak would have cost me $12.99/lb or so. If I'm not mistaken, beef prices were especially attractive about this time of year last year, too.
I bought four and wrapped them individually for the freezer. That's four meals--one will feed both of us easily.
But I don't remember any such phenomena in L.A. Maybe it's logical on a regional basis? Here at latitude 49, colder weather certainly means less barbecuing, and over the holidays the competition from the poultry department for what is considered a luxury meat might simply drive prices down.
What's happening to beef prices where you live?
