According to the US Dept of Labor and Statistics, ground chuck cost $2.83/lb in March 2008, and 5.85/lb in March 2025. If i can basic math, that’s an increase of ~~206~~ 106%.

Edit: Math hard.

Wow, so I did tha math. The official inflation rate factors up to just over 1.5 (50% increase) over the past 16 years. But this meme suggests a factor of 3.58!!! (258% increase)
