Beef lovers in Erie are feeling the pinch—local butchers like Urbaniak Brothers have had to raise prices by as much as 18% on some cuts in just six months. It’s not just a local thing: nationwide, beef is the most expensive it’s ever been, thanks to fewer cattle and ongoing tariffs. Even longtime customers are noticing the difference, but many say they’ll stick with quality local shops. There’s hope prices might dip later this year, but with the holidays coming, demand could push them right back up. How are you adjusting your grocery habits with these changes? #Business #Industry #Erie
