I'm in them everyday. Prices and/or availability were affected in every grocery chain around.

At no point did i not see beef on the shelves.

So why are you acting like your experiences in baton rouge are the end all be all in this discussion? That's retarded.

I understand my outlook is just on Baton Rouge. Why are you acting like your experience in wherever you are is the be all in this discussion? We live in a world full of fricking idiots that buy toilet paper b/c some idiots on facebook gave them a stupid arse story. Sorry i don't believe this stupid arse story of beef shortages when nothing i saw in the stores around me proved that.

Costco upped prices on every beef item significantly because their suppliers did the same to them.

This is common. It happens all the time. Also, anyone that pays a grocery store to shop there is a moron. downvote away as i know everyone loves Costco.

Brisket alone went from $2.99/lb to $5.99+.

Guess what, sometimes brisket is $5.99/lb. Sometimes it's $2.99/lb. Sometimes ground beef is $5.99/lb, sometimes it's $3.99, sometimes it's $2.99. Prices fluctuate with beef all the time.

They even limited customers to 3 meat items total per customer at times.
HEB limited to 2 meat items total per customer a couple different times

---

Yeah, that's what happens when dumbass facebook warriors go out and buy shite in bulk for stupid reasons.

And that's not something that's specific to Covid. Rouses will do that from time to time. They'll have pork butts for $.99/lb and limit them to two per customer. They'll have ground beef very rarely at $1.99/lb in 10lb bags and limit it to two per customer. It's like some of you have been to a grocery store a handful of times in your life.

Just because you caught something on sale at one point during this doesn't mean prices didn't go up. That's absurd logic.

Just b/c you saw beef expensive one time during this doesn't mean prices are never going to be cheaper and there's a beef shortage. That's absurd logic.
