Still cheap when compared to prices here in Britain.

Fuel and protein has always seemed really cheap in the US - I have read quite a few indignant messages over the years complaining of the cost of things here, it can bequite a shock for visitors who don't research costs before hand, or who assume that a litre is about the same as a gallon.

Surloin steak 2.77 dollars a pound - oh wow you lucky people.
