$12.99 a pound in many stores. Plain old hamburger is routinely $6.99 a pound and more. A couple of years ago chuck roast was always about $6.99 a pound by me and would go on sale at $4.99 a pound. Ground chuck was usually around that $4.99 a pound level and sometimes on sale for $3.49 a pound. Plain old hamburger was usually around $3.69 a pound and would go on sale for around $2.99 a pound in 5 pound packs.
