> I got 3.5 pounds of steak tips for $20 about a month ago.

A lot of cattle was recently liquidated (made into meat products, this year) as grazing fields have been drying up and, due to climate change, meat pipelines have had to start making MAJOR changes.

I want to clarify this was a specific prepackaged product that likely needed to be clearance because it wasn't popular. General purpose steak tips are NOT $6 a pound at my local hannaford. However, they aren't much more expensive than they are historically, which is why I'm looking for more info from the parent poster, who claims essentially 100% increase in product prices, while my personal experience on a wide array of items is closer to 10% on a sporadic list of things. I think they are experiencing some rather extreme local price situations.
