> 1. beef for $6.97/lb You'll want to specify what type of beef. The price per pound varies immensely based upon what cut you're getting. $6.97/lb is a price I can only assume refers to ground beef. Once you start talking about steaks, though, the price climbs rather quickly. Near me, sirloin regularly clocks between $14-16/lb, and NY strip/ribeye at the best of times may go on sale for close to $20/lb, but they also regularly exceed $30/lb.
