Beef Prices keep on climbing

On the screwworm thing, Texas Monthly had the best headline and photo combination back in April:



Not much more Texan than that.

I don't think the article is paywalled: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-po...ick-riders/

Probably should have had radiated males ready to go since the 70's.

Jerod Broussard Yeah, should have had. Don't know what the story said about the situation. There is a paywall now. There used to be a department that did things like that.

I was shocked today at our local Meijer. Was in there buying some groceries and went through the meat department. They had a cooler with briskets in it. They were $9.99 lb!!! That is crazy, so won't be doing any of them.

[Bogy]

That's crazy! They must be figuring it's grilling season and they can price gouge.

They must think people do not look at the price and just put it in there shopping cart?

So I have been reading up on this screwworm thing. I never thought I would wish for an entire species of life to vanish, but absolutely. These are things of horror. We do not want them on this planet. They are dangerous.

If only we'd had some kind of monitoring program to keep this from happening.

Oh. Right.

My dinner tonight. I didn't think this was too expensive. $5.79/lb for Prime Tri Tip.

That's a great price for today's world. 😎

How ya liking that new HEB Bill?

[Purc]

Panhead John It's a great store. I had breakfast tacos this morning with their butter tortillas

My wife got an ad from Hy-Vee this morning that among other things they had brisket for $4.99 a lb. We went up and they were marked $5.49 a lb. We asked one of the butchers and he took it and marked it at the $4.99 price. It claimed to already be $2.50 per lb off from the regular price, and I saved another $2.00. Now have two briskets in the freezer at this price. Sometime this summer when the family is together we'll have brisket. Or twice.

Update. Second screwworm infection found in Texas about 6 miles from the original detection.
