So thats why I saw an $8 chicken in the store last month!

Exactly.

I look out the window behind where I am sitting right now and I see 5 buildings housing 175,000 of those things, and yet they still coast over $1 a pound for whole ones, let alone cut up or just specific parts (boneless breasts over $5 a pound)

Pound for pound seafood is cheaper than chicken.

This was a whole chicken, prolly 2.5 lbs.

I spontaneously said out loud...”GTFO”!! 8 dollars for a effin chicken!??

Then I realized what I had blurted out and looked around and those who had heard in embarrassment L0L

Oh yeah... that is the other one...chickens...whole chickens one used to be able to get for a few bucks. Now, yesterday well over $8 for one to feed a family of 4!

Like I said, it felt like the holiday gouge yesterday at the grocery store!

Gas is running an extra $90 a month for one vehicle...that goes to to work and home.

My raise isn’t going to cover $90 extra for gas and $120 for groceries!
