> I was thinking about this thread last night while shopping. I realized that ALL the various grades of ground beef (including the three-pound bulk package) were just too expensive and I was not going to buy any unless it was on a significant sale.

This reminded me to search for this old thread, [$4 a pound beef. What are you paying?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/4-a-pound-beef-what-are-you-paying/698820) That was back in 2014 and $4 a pound for ground beef was fairly common around here. As mentioned then, better cuts of beef would cost far more.

I have been paying $4.99 a pound for ground beef for several years now, always called a sale price but on sale twice as often as not. The regular price seems to top out at $5.99 a pound, which I think is the limiting price point around here.
