[Trajan]

5. Ive seen it 'on sale' for $5.99 a pound ....

I cant buy it ...

[skooooo]

7. I think the prices of EVERYTHING are going to be going up!

...along with gas and milk prices.

[drthais]

8. STOP THAT!

don't buy red meat right now!
I don't care HOW much it costs!
we canot afford to have even ONE loyal DEm
lost to Mad Cow
If you think for one minute that it does not exits in this country
then you must be listening to FOX NEWS!

I'm not a PETA freak or anything
but we haven't bought beef since the beginning of this 'scare'
which is a 'tip of the iceberg' revelation

switch to chicken, pork, fish, lamb

[Kool Kitty]

9. Not too much fish, now.

Don't forget about the mercury.

[doubles]

15. Once it's not ground beef or any spinal or brain tissue, aren't we safe?

[k in IA]

11. I think the Atkins Diet craze has meat in more demand so

prices are up. I know milk prices are up because farmers can get more $ by slaughtering the cows than they make milking them.

Also, unless that cow walked to the store themselves, it costs more to transport anything because of the increase in gas prices.

12. There are things you don't quibble price about

Cheese and meat.

[FlemingsGhost]

14. T-bone! Must be nice...

It might be cheaper to switch to N.Y. Strip. LOL!

Americans, in general, sorely need some perspective.

[DoNotRefill]

16. It's much cheaper...

if you buy part of a cow (or the whole thing) and cut it up yourself. Also, there's less question about contamination.
