Only way I buy beef anymore is if it's on sale or if it's part of the nearby stores "pick 5 for $19" deal. Good news is fish and Chicken are still relatively affordable. (depending on what you buy that is)

Market forces. A large numbers of cattle were sold to market last year because of drought conditions that denied food to bovines. This created a temporary glut of beef on the market. Once that was consumed, there have been fewer bovines sold to slaughter, and thus demand is greater than supply. Hence the rising prices.

It was predicted last year as a consequence of the mid-west drought conditions. How easily we seem to forget.
