Beef prices

[RiversideSm0ker]

Gasoline is more like $4 a gallon on average here in So Cal. Has been for a very long time. I get my gas at Sam's for a "low" $3.89 a gallon right now.

Wow - just filled up at Costco for $2.96 and that is here in lower NY.

California has a crap load of vehicles due to the population. That's why we get soaked a the pumps. It's just because they can. No choice since you can't use mass transit with any reasonable cost or efficient use of your time.

It's been running just a tad over $3 here for a while.
Tax rates have a lot to do with it and CA is famous for higher tax rates.
Every state is different...

I wonder how the holiday sales will go, or if there will even be any!

Pork is relatively cheap, but China controls the vast majority of it in America. That'll probably be what's on sale for Labor Day, that and hotdogs, maybe some burger.

I try to buy in bulk when I see a deal as long as I have the space. Last week Kroger had 80/20 burger in 5 lb. chubs for $9.95/each. It wasn't labeled ground chuck, just ground beef. I bought 3 rolls for whatever may come along and vacuum sealed it in 1 lb. packs. If nothing else, I can make meatloaf or spaghetti.

I buy most of my pork from a very small local operation, but there's never enough of things like ribs and butt/shoulders, so I have to supplement it from a grocer. I try to avoid Smithfield products because of the owner. Food Lion sells Swift Premium pork products.

Gas is in the $2.65/gal range here. Diesel is ~$3.00/gal. and I drive an F250 diesel, that sucks...

Gas is 2.97 here at the no frills just credit only pumps and 3.04 at the mommy poppa stores. Add a dime to each for super.

Beef prices are up, but I haven't bought a gallon of gas in over 3 years.

Yeah I don't worry about it much, either.
A fillup on one of our two cars lasts for months....

Both my car, as well as my wife's, call for 93 0ctane. They were both pretty low last weekend so I filled them up at the local Shell station we use where the price was $4.39/Gal. They both have 19 gallon tanks, but I don't recall how much gas I pumped. All I know was that the total cost for the 2 cars was around $145. Ouch!

Here in Iowa gas with 10 % ethanol is quite a bit cheaper than gas without ethanol... but don't know what the cost of it is, or diesel fuel for my pickup for that matter. But when I need fuel to get to the store for some overly priced beef I just need it, no matter what it costs!

Feeling for ya. Went to San Francisco 25 yrs ago- beautiful clean city. Up PCH to see Redwoods
Put 17.78 gals in Honda Pilot on 8-25-21 at Sam’s and paid $47.81- $2.68/gal. Lowest I’ve seen since late Jan/early Feb

I remember when I got my Dodge Ram, in 2008, they had a $50 maximum per fill-up at "Turkey Hill".
I wanted to fill mine up, so I had to insert my Credit card in the machine 3 times to restart it enough to fill up.
First card insert got me $50 worth.
Second card insert got me the 2n'd $50 worth.
And the third card insert finished filling my 35 gallon tank up.
I think it took about $110 worth total.

If I was concerned about gas mileage, I would have gotten a Prius or some other kind of 4 banger or something. While I hate high prices, my Navigator gets what it gets.

Had a Camry (Ugh...) rental last weekend. It wasn't showing any better gas mileage than my Navigator averages.

Probably heading to Costco later to pick up a few briskets. Last week they were $4.99 for prime packers.

 

[HalfSmoked]

How much is she asking?
Just curious.....

Thanks for the likes smokerjim and Brokenhandle I appreciate them.

Not sure but if a person talked right she would probably say just take him.

Nope, not California. I live in Hinsdale, IL, a suburb of Chicago.

Neither one of our cars, an Audi R8 and a Audi RS7, could be considered an "Economy" car by any stretch of the imagination. When I go to a gas pump I may look at the price per gallon and just shrug my shoulders and think "it is what it is", get my gas, and leave. In this case, after filling 2 cars, I was curious and checked my Amex statement when I got home and saw the total. Checking a little further, I discovered that the price per gallon at the same station was around $3.09/Gal. the first of the year. A 42% increase in 8 months is what surprised me the most.
