It really is true. Used to be a cheap staple but every time I go grocery shopping the price keeps going up. It has come to the point that I plan my weekly meal decisions based on the prices of meat. Been finding chicken is quite reasonable. But god I truly am starting to get a craving for some beef. So many of my old school family meals especially call for ground beef.

I went to get GB out of the freezer to thaw for dinner tonight and noticed the package was $9 (I'm in Canada). What happened to it being $4? Families seriously survive on GB since Chicken is even more expensive these days.

Canadian here also and I truly understand. $8-9 for a pound and a kilo you would be lucky to find for $15. Just 2 years ago I was finding it at $10-11 for a kilo. They always claim inflation is at 4-5% but in beef alone it is a good 20-30%. Hell I don't even bother buying bacon anymore at $5-6 for 375g if you want a decent enough cut. Meat is getting crazy expensive up here in Leafland.
