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.
Better prices than here in York, PA. Nice.
Not bad at all.
I would definately stock up at those prices.
