I have seen an increase in all meat prices over the past several months. I buy a lot of flank steak, as its a good cheap cut to feed a lot of people, and its up from $5.99 (or less) to $7.99 a pound last time I picked up some at Sam's. Brisket was up there too, pork is up a lot since a few months ago as well.
I read something either here or elsewhere indicating that if you plan to do many cookouts this summer, get your meat now and stash it in the freezer, as it is expected to continue to increase.
Right now, I hate to say it, but I expect a lot of my summer cooking to involve chicken or ground beef (burgers). I try and pick up ground beef at Fresh Market, as they have chuck on sale for $2.99 a pound every Tuesday, which makes it almost a buck cheaper than Sam's, and heck - even Walmart was $5 a pound for chuck last time I looked.
For now I plan to cook through everything in the deep freeze, in preparation for either moving it to the garage or getting rid of it as we do some remodeling...

I get to Sam’s club once every other month or so and I always check the briskets out and if there’s a particularly good looking one I grab it and freeze it. I happened to be in a city with Sam’s a couple weekends ago so I went over to check ‘em out and I moved along real quick. It was like $3/lb for prime a few short months ago now it’s out of my league.

Commodity prices on beef and pork are at an all time high or very near it. Expect meat prices and anything made with corn to continue higher for the next several months at least. I never thought I would see the day of $6.50 to $7 a bushel corn or pork cutouts above 115 a hundred weight. Also beef above 151. Get ready for major inflation later this year. The Jimmy Carter 2 era has begun

Interesting...I haven't been to Sam's in a year but prices have not changed at my local HEB for months. Brisket is about the same except wagyu went up $1/lb. I just bought a pork butt for $0.97/lb and cooked it yesterday. I may need to stock up before the prices jump up.

I ordered some beef short ribs from a local butcher about 10 days ago. He called and said there's no way he'd pay what his supplier was asking and pass that cost onto me. They were breaking down a locally raised beef carcass and he sold me the short ribs at a more reasonable price. Still not "cheap", but a way better value. Gotta love a small town.

Here in Oregon, a very dry season is coming up. Not enough water for farmers or cattle. Time to raise prices.
The highest beef has ever been: the cow jumped over the moon. She steered with her utter instead of a rutter and been in orbit since June.
My, My when she passes by don't or it may drop in your eye.
