Pork prices have risen after an outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the past year, while beef prices are up after a cattle sell-off that happened when drought conditions drove up grain prices.“Everything that’s happened in the last year and a half is hitting the stores now,” said Ken Beever, secretary of the DeKalb-Kane County Cattlemen’s Association, which is an affiliate of the Illinois Beef Association.The price consumers pay for ground beef was up 11.8 percent in April over the previous year and 4.4 percent over the previous month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The price of a boneless, USDA Choice round steak was up 17.8 percent year-over-year in April, the bureau reported. 4951

A few weeks ago, I cooked at a birthday party, and they chose pulled chicken over brisket because of the price difference. Emoticon I don't think pork will be AS drastic as beef has been this year, but you never know.  4951

You can blame most of the price increases on the extreme cost of fuel. Heck I saw bread at almost $4 yesterday !! 4951

Fuel in Long Island, NY is at $3.99 - cash purchase. We paid $4.26/gal yesterday (granted just outside of the small airport there).... my husband is so not $ savvy sometimes. Yet some companies are barely giving raises... I'm not sure where we can make up the difference in expenses / income then. Emoticon 4951

I agree fuel is way too high. When we were in Costa Rica we paid over $7 a gallon !! For a poor country that should be criminal.
