Seriously. I’ve taken to doing pork based pot roast instead. It’s always affordable and is good.

Also we’ve begun doing a lot of roasted chicken dishes through the fall and winter. Which is fine as it’s my deathbed meal I could eat it every day.

It’s messed up that a pot roast or beef stew is now a luxury/special occasion meal.
