I just bought 1.7 lbs of Perdue chicken breast for $10.18, and they were asking $2.19 for a 6 ounce can of solid white tuna.
In 2010, I bought 50lbs of frozen bacon for $1.49/lb; now it’s over $8.79/lb.
Pigs and chickens are the new Gold and Silver.
When entry-level preppers ask what to stockpile for the Apocalypse, one recommendation might be to get some piglets and baby chicks.
Carter's Stag-flation was when prices skyrocketed, the economy sucked and unemployment was high.
Obama-flation is just Stag-Flation ignored by the press and the government.
They don’t allow us to keep livestock where I live. I guess some may have to setup communes with families that are willing to work hard and pitch in to help each other out sort of like The Walking Dead only the zombies are the Obamazombies...
Do I live in bubble?
I pay $12+/- for 7# of fresh bone in, skin on chicken breasts that weigh about 2#/ea or a bit less. I can get a package for $10 if they are at the best by date. Frozen fillets are 3# for under $7. Whole roasters are in 2paks for around .70/#. I just paid 4.99/# for a whole strip loin and $3.69/# for a whole top sirloin. About $116 for 30# of prime meat. Just got done portioning it for the freezer and sampling some of each and it was prime: tender, flavorful, well-marbled, with the right amount of fat cap. Both whole muscle cuts have been absent for nearly 8-12 months as even Sam’s would rather sell it by the pound as steak, so when my local IGA had their annual meat sale, I stocked up on my two favorite cuts. I also found a manager’s special package of 1” thick rib eyes for 4.99/#.
A 6oz can of StarKist Albacore in water is just about the same as posted at about $2+. I usually buy the 8-paks at Sam’s for around $11& change.
Someone mentioned propane. My bulk propane last year was $1.89/gallon and I haven’t received this year’s quote, yet. But I use the 20# tanks regularly in my business and the exchange rate has been the same, at a little under $18 for years, now. I think a new full tank (and they do hold less than they did 5 years ago)is $45 or so. I get 25-26 hours out of one tank.
I am in a rural area just East of the Mississippi. Most of the prices I see posted here are eye-watering to me.
