1. A cheaper and healthier alternative to beef
We’re guessing you’ve already fired up the grill for the first time this summer—and that you may have experienced a little sticker shock when shopping for your cookout: Beef prices have spiked to an all-time high this year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
How high have costs climbed? Last month, ground beef averaged $3.86 a pound, compared to just $2.31 in May 2010. And if you want the extra-lean stuff, you’ll have to shell out even more: Lean beef currently weighs in at $5.36 per pound. Sirloin is up to an incredible $7.59 a pound.
