I don't know where you are but a one pound package of 90% lean ground beef at my supermarket (Kroger) in Denver is $4.97

Same store, Gardein® Ultimate Plant-Based Burger Patties, package of 2 (8oz total) is $4.99

I'm in the SF bay area. Like I get that it's high cost of living and high wages, but even so doesn't justify such a huge price difference. I guess just some pretty crazy price gouging

The people that work in your grocery store need to afford to live in your high cost of living area, too. That means the stores have to pay them more which means they have to charge more. The same goes for the drivers that deliver the groceries to the store, the people that work in the warehouses of the suppliers, etc. It's higher cost of living all the way down.

The same store was doing fine on half the price of groceries three years ago. How can the poor mega corporation grocery store ever survive? Doesn't anyone ever think about the poor stock? And no, wages haven't doubled since then
