Well, you got what you voted for I guess (based on your post history at least…)

Is there really a shortage? Earlier this week I got 40 pounds of chicken for free from the EBCI. So did about 800 other native families. They regularly do this around election time

Yes, unfortunately chickens aren't getting their covid vaccinations like they should, so they're dying left and right.

I actually (used to) like Pluckers, but the price increases over the past 5 years or so have kept me away. Blue Store is wayyy cheaper and more convenient.

This has been happening for a few weeks now. Yes, there’s a supply shortage due to processing facilities not having enough workers. They want to process as many chickens as possible, so they are trying to sell as much whole chicken as possible. Less cutting on the line means more chickens processed. Not enough workers to cut the meat into pieces.

80/20 ground beef at the local store today was $4.28 for 1.17 pounds

Is that really expensive compared to a few years ago?

Maybe steak prices are higher, but I didn’t notice it with ground beef

A pack of Smithfield bacon today was $6.99. Was that maybe $4.99 a few years ago?

The prices on chicken wings in the stores are ridiculous, averaging about $20 for 12 to 14 wings in my area. I’ll stick to boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

The wife picked up a big pack at Sam's for 12 bucks. Had 22 WHOLE wings in it. I think they were Sanderson Farms. I don't find that high at all.
