Here in Northern OH, I bought the Giant Eagle "valu-pack" (3 lbs .or more) of 85% hamburger, which tastes better than the 92%, and paid the same price as it: $3.79 a pound; but then bought a 3 pack of T-bones at $5.99 a lb. Everything is going up... while my retirement pension (I do not have SS) stays the same except for a few dollars increase each year!
Need to add that we do have a veggie garden which is all we eat from all summer... can't wait to plant those first seeds... soon!!!!!!! and have 5 fruit trees that I can/freeze from. Ate tofu and beans today for lunch... hamburger is becoming a frivolous luxury as are those steaks!!!!
