Yeah, my area is dominated by a single grocery store chain and the prices on steaks in the meat department have not been lower than $15/lb. for at least 3 years now. The last time I looked at the prices on their steaks it was $21.99 a pound which was some time last month or so. I get my meat from a local meat market that butchers local cattle and I pay about $5 to $9 a pound for high quality steaks. The chain stores are gouging people yet the sheep continue to pay the prices for "convenience" or whatever the stupid reason is. Suckers. Hehe, just noticed the price is the same per pound whether or not you have an Ingles Advantage card. Some advantage that card gives you.
