Yep, I noticed Wolf Chili (which isn’t bad for canned) went from $1.00 this time last year to $1.98 now.
Man, if only that chili were based on pork instead of beef. I think that's the main trouble here.
You've seen that, while pork is presently very affordable, beef is presently off the charts high. Wolf brand chili is based on beef, unfortunately.
Like you said though -- for canned, it's darn good.
Meanwhile, go get some of that good ol' affordable pork and chicken and make some hellacious chili of your own!
