Ground beef just hit a grim new milestone.

Average price is now at a record $6.90 per pound and on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, it has crossed $7.00/lb for the first time ever. +77% since January 2020. Literally doubled since 2013. Uncooked beef steaks now average $13.02/lb (+70%). This isn’t just “some inflation.” This is sustained, brutal food price erosion hitting the staple protein millions of Americans rely on. When the cost of basic beef doubles in a decade and surges nearly 80% in five years, it’s a warning light on the cost-of-living crisis. Families are feeling this one in the grocery cart every single week.
