Trumpflation: Record beef prices raise Memorial Day cookout costs

Beef prices set records last month at U.S. grocery stores, and economists expect they will climb further as demand increases during the summer grilling season that traditionally begins with cookouts on Memorial Day on Monday.

One consumer feeling the pinch is DeAndrea Chavis, an artificial intelligence analyst in Raleigh, North Carolina, who buys ground beef nearly every week to prep tacos and other dishes for lunch but lately is making smaller portions because of rising prices.

Chavis said she has seen lean ground beef prices climb above $9 per pound from $6 to $8 in recent months. She is planning to keep hamburgers on the menu for a cookout next week but may have more hot dogs in the mix to control costs.

"Ground beef is supposed to be a cheaper option," said Chavis, 28. "Now that is even starting to add up."




The MAGA crowd blamed high egg prices on Biden, so what goes around comes around.

Karma.

Are you tired of winning yet?
Do we need to take up a collection so you can afford a Big Mac?
 
Another example of the stupidity of voting for Trump.
Just like you don't need that many pens or pencils or dolls. People can't afford as much. That is inflation. Trump was supposed to fix that, right?

You guys are a one trick pony, aren't you? Where's your thread about gas prices being at a four year low for Memorial weekend. I guess you forgot to post that thread, didn't you?
