Sticker shock is something we’re all experiencing at the grocery store. According to the Consumer Price Index all grocery items are up any where from 3% to 15% - with beef seeing the largest increase from last year with a 20% jump in prices. There are several things driving up the cost, including demand. Angie Horkan from the Wisconsin Beef Council digs into to a few of the factors driving this increase. She also offers some great budget-friendly ideas so you can still put a delicious, flavorful beef dish on your holiday table. If you can’t afford prime rib or a tenderloin, she has some great “swap” options and ideas on how to prepare it.

Also, if you’d like to pair a nice wine or beer with your holiday feast, she offers some great ideas as well.
