    I haven’t bought ground beef in over 2 months. I’m in the Los Angeles area and it’s currently almost $8/lb.

      I guess it helps being vegan haha. Tofu, beans, and tempeh are cheaper I guess.

      I did just check the beef price here and its about €5 for 500g in the regular not cheap supermarket

      yep, i’ve been subsisting most entirely off chicken.

      and even that has mostly been rotisserie chickens which are cheaper than the uncooked chickens, and i can typically get 2-3 meals out a rotisserie chicken. (edit: each meal feeds 3 people)

      aint got ground beef in forever.

      and I cant remember the last time i had a steak. god I miss steak… last time i looked at steaks in the super market it was like 30 bucks for a scrawny, paper thin, disgusting little thing
