Or, people had to start cooking more at home instead of going out to eat, and started realizing beef isn't cheap anymore,

no the price of ground beef shot up almost double for some grinds. it happened overnight, too

what was once $4/lb became $7/lb +

I had some people tell me that beef was $15 a pound for ground chuck. I never saw it at half that, and I actively looked for it.

I buy beef all the time. I have never paid more than $2.99/lb for ground beef. Ever. Some people aren't good shoppers. I would have won SuperMarket Sweep back in the day, b/c i'm a professional grocery store shopper.

If you go to the store with the intent to buy beef, you will likely have to pay $5-7/lb. If you are willing to wait for the right time to buy it, you will always find it cheaper. When i find ground beef for $2.99/lb or cheaper, i'll buy 20lbs of it and freeze it.
