Where is The Beef?

I know where the beef is. It is in the supermarket, because it is too expensive to buy. Yesterday I wanted to barbeque steaks on the grill, so I went to Stop and Shop to buy any type of beef that was reasonably priced. The Porterhouse steaks were in packages marked for over $32.00. The skirt steak was in packages marked for over $30.00. When my head was done spinning around, I decided to go to the Best Market, as their meats are priced lower. Their packages of beef were somewhere in the $13 - $17 range. I then did my calculations. If it cost me $17 for the meat and added in the price of a salad and 2 vegetables, I might as well eat out and not use my energy to cook and serve. I wound up buying a package of hangar steak for $10. I could deal with that. It tasted pretty good and my stomach was not in knots from paying too much.
