Up here, before y2000, unpeeled tri-tip was $0.99 per pound. Best deal for Santa Maria style BBQ (oak fired) parties!!!
When about 2004 through 2008, gas zoomed past$2/gal to ~$5/gal in California and real estate sky rocketed, durable goods going up in price, etc, my mom said it was like the 70's and early 80s again.
Regarding beef, the Costco 2 pieces of unpeeled tri tip for ~$35 (5.99/lb last week) is just shy of what a cryopack of 6 was 10, 15 years ago... its starting to be like ice cream packaging [1.5 qt vs 2 qt], roughly same bag price, just 1 less piece. crazy! Even beef bones with hardly any meat has gone from $0.79 to $4 or $5/lb.
Better buy more pork bellies and freeze, the cryopacks were past $40

I'm about to raise prices on my motorcycle tools.
My mother inlaw is into the crypto. When your 70 year old family members are into something its a bubble. She has pennystock type crypto she calls her "shitcoins".
Yeah we get tri tips at Costco, i stockpile tri tips and bacon. Its still 9 or 10$ per pound for tritip. I remember when it was always on sale for 2.99$ 15 years ago. Now red meat is like a special treat once a month.
