Anybody bought groceries lately? My wife says that fresh produce is spoiling in the store because people can’t afford to buy it any longer.
Beef prices were great last year (due to drought, they were slaughtering stock to save on feed costs). Not so much this year - I’ve seen sales on pork & chicken, but not beef (and even these sale prices are high).
I’ve been buying the “soon to be past sale date” meats that go on sale, then freezing them to kill whatever might be brewing in there. They don’t taste as good as fresh, but better than none, I suppose.
