New York (CNN Business)Good news: After rising for months, meat prices are finally falling at the grocery store. Bad news: Many other staples are getting more expensive.
Prices for meat, poultry, fish and eggs fell 0.4% from November to December, according to seasonally adjusted data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Within that category, meats overall dropped 0.9% — with beef and veal down 2%, pork chops 1.1% cheaper and hot dogs falling 1.5%. Not all individual meat items got cheaper, however. Breakfast sausages were up 1.4%, lunch meats got 2.7% more expensive, and chicken prices rose 0.3% in December. And looking over the past year, meats, poultry, fish, and eggs got 12.5% pricier, with beef, veal and bacon up 18.6%.

Meat cheaper my ass.
There is no good news, Brandon is destroying this country.
Please rephrase your comment. You may get some lurking democrats excited.
Ok. How about Donkey meat prices through the roof!
“Meat cheaper my ass.”
“Please rephrase your comment. You may get some lurking democrats excited.”
This gave me a hearty laugh.
We went shopping yesterday, a small corn beef brisket $25.00. Chuck $4/pound. Absolutely insane the BS they try to pass off as tooth paste.

Meat cheaper now? Only if you’re catching and eating city pigeons.
Wow. Four tenths of a percent!
They are really reaching.
“with beef and veal down 2%
with beef, veal and bacon up 18.6%.”
This is downright 1984 level evil. They can’t even keep it straight in a few sentences.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week.”
“Meat is finally getting cheaper.... beef, veal and bacon up 18.6%”
Think they’re feeding us a narrative?
Stay away from my cats and dogs!
squirrel and rabbit still holding steady
I eat a lot of hamburger because it’s cheap and usually paid 1.99/lb. Can’t find it cheaper than 3.99/lb. I always purchased the 10lb roll and to see 39.99 vs 19.99 now makes me mutter Let’s Go Brandon out loud at the meat counter.
Bat. The other white meat.
I love cats...but I can’t eat a whole one.
I did hear Chinese restaurants in the US were charging less for bat soup, eel fries and rat filets.
But I think that’s due to competition trends more than inflation easing.
Here, kitty, kitty. Chicken lunch special tomorrow.
Buy a cow from a local farmer and have it processed locally and go in with 1-2 other families to split the cost/meat.
We do this eery year..way cheaper than the store. Cutting out 1-2 different middlemen.
