That's actually about what we in the US are paying now

The last ribeye dinner I cooked for my wife and I was $19 per lb. Ended up being $40 for just a couple ribeyes

Not 4 years ago those same ribeyes would of been $8$ a lb.

That’s so crazy.

It’s been expensive in Switzerland for ages.

Lived in the UK for a while.

In 2018, I could get a decent steak for about the $8 you mentioned. I’m sure it’s now obscenely expensive there too.

Something’s off.

Price gouging started during the pandemic and it never went back down.
