The T-Mobile ad is insane. I only listened to it once, so I didn't catch everything, but here is what I did catch:

$100/mo/line plan minimum
Eligible trade-in required
36mo retail-installment contract total $1999.
$35 new line connection fee
Insurance required

You're "free" phone is $120/mo+tax after factoring in the cost of insurance, plus you pay taxes up front ($150-$200), a $35 connection fee, and you're locked in for three years.

Beef is an ongoing issue, even 80/20 ground chuck is going for $5-$6/lb. What we're seeing around here is beef at the grocery store is going up faster than local farms. I can buy 10lbs of 80/20 from the farm down the road for only $1-$2/lb more than the grocery store now.
