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 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.

Frozen ground beef is shite for burgers imo

And you double down on the stupidity. 
Congrats on stocking up before prices went up. Prices on a lot of meat products went up as packing plants were forced to shut down because of covid cases. It has affected every grocery store so it's not like you can go down to another store and avoid it. Most even put limits on what you could buy though I don't know anyone who still has said limits.

bro i bought 8, 1-lb packages of 85-15 grassfed beef at $2.25 each b/c the local walmart apparently didn't sell any of it. i would have bought more but 8 lbs was what fit in my freezer
i get what you mean (did that today in fact) but i'm talking pure sticker price. it did shoot up

My locally owned grocery store grinds their own ground beef and the family pack size 4-5 lbs has been $1.99-2.29 lb for the last 3 weeks
