flank steak, I think... that ran to over $100... I put it back as I was trying to get my jaw up off the floor. A good-sized roast was about the same as your steaks -- $50+. Even hamburger is almost $10 for a little over a pound. It's just too expensive to eat meat anymore! Thing is, the cost of veggies isn't a hell of a lot better. Plus, there have been huge gaps of "nothing there" when I've gone to the store to specifically get something I need for cooking. Like, twice I've gone to the store and there was NO cilantro to be found.

I'm disabled and it's a real pain in the butt to drive to different stores, looking for specific items. And there's only three grocery stores in this whole town, anyway. Sometimes I miss living in the "big city" just for this reason.
