High beef prices are affecting consumer purchasing behavior at grocery stores and restaurants
Beef prices have reached record highs with uncooked steaks averaging $12.74 per pound according to federal data. Darden Restaurants reported that LongHorn Steakhouse saw 7.2% same-store sales growth while executives noted double-digit demand destruction for beef at retail stores. The narrowing price gap between cooking steak at home versus dining out is shifting consumer behavior toward restaurants.
