Friend of mine sent me a pic of a pound of Tenderloin at an HEB in San Antonio.

When I see things like that in the grocery stores, I drop one of my stickers of Trump pointing and saying, “Biden did that”.

[mware]

LOL I took a photo 3 weeks ago of a leg of lamb at Shop Rite it cost $49.00. Looked at a spiral ham yesterday it was $42.

I see a disturbing trend with pricing. Prices will go away to be replaced with “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”

HEB has to sell it by tonight.

I saw frozen goose in the grocery store, about 12 pounds (guessing). It was $85.00 !!

When your government loses focus on important things, this is what happens.

[cgbg]

The game plan:

(1) Big government deficit spending creates inflation.
(2) Government denies there is inflation.
(3) Government admits there is inflation but blames it on greedy corporations and hoarding consumers.

(We are here now...then...)

(4) Government imposes price controls.
(5) Shortages are the result.

(In our case the vaccine mandates and Covid fear porn are causing shortages earlier in the process.)

(6) Government imposes rationing for the common people with unlimited supply for those with “connections”.

I would skip dinner and go for the scotch only. Geesh, makes me ill thinking about that stuff for dinner.

I see $6.99/lb here. And it’s SNAP eligible.

LOL! I’ve had haggis. Not bad....or good.

[mware]

Can’t wait to see how much corned beef will be. Haven’t seen any in my local stores yet.

[reformedliberal]

...$7.97/lbs.

6 years ago, lamb chops direct from the farmer cost $18/lb in rural WI.

I’d love to find lamb at $8/lb.

[GaltAdonis]

All of this reminds me that I have not had lamb chops in years.
I grocery shop on Sundays - I'll that then.

[GaltAdonis]

"...I'll FIX that then...

Fixed myself.

I paid $140 for a 12lb prime rib roast for Xmas... Worth every cent!!

Comes down to wants... I wanted the prime rib and it quality at my meat shop. I paid without bitchin!! Lol

Jeremy Clarkson (former Top Gear host) has gone into farming and did a show (surprisingly entertaining) about that.

He also raised lambs. Lots and lots of work, feed and vet costs etc, and after he sold them off he had made something like a few pennies/hr.

"You’re welcome! Gotta say, the UK has some cool place names."

Go to Wales, and try to pronounce the towns names there. You'll need a Chiropractor for your tongue...

[subterfuge]

Noooooooo!
