The average price of ground beef climbed to another high, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The new record for a pound of ground beef has risen to $4.20 per pound, In August 2014 the average price of ground beef rose to a record of $4.00 for the first time when ground beef was then $4.013. In September the price rose to $4.096. In October the price rose to $4.154 per pound, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
