“Darn bacon is almost 6 bucks a pound.”

Consider yourself lucky.

Here in upstate NY our local TOPS store has Oscar Meyer regular grade bacon at $9.99 per pound (16 oz)!!

80% hamburger between $5-6 per pound. Store brand butter around $3.50+ pound. Brand name butter $4.30.

Thankfully we saw this coming and stocked up and vacuum-packed LOTS of meat this winter. IMHO, it is only going to get worse before it gets better.

I'm afraid to ask what the other 20% is. Is that number something about the fat content?

I can still get 90% for $5 on sale... but that will likely end soon.

Those prices are insane but the rest of us might be catching up
