re: US coffee and beef prices are surging at a record pace

I’m down to drinking Folgers and I can barely afford that

try waking up and exercising. Coffee is like cereal. We've been conditioned to believe we need it. But if you leave it alone and try actually moving around in the morning, you realize you don't need it.

What if I enjoy coffee?

Thank God it was a good hunting year and I have a deep freezer full of deer meat.

Correct, but it's a shame that the country is so fickle. Putting dems back in isn't going to solve anything.

Voters being fickle is a feature of the 2 party system.

When republicans frick everything up, vote in the democrats so they can have a turn to frick everything up.

I am feeling the beef prices. I am a big red meat eater and it's absurd how expensive it is relative to 5-7 years ago.

My butcher claims it's a delayed impact from COVID era cattle management and we're feeling it now.

By the way, 12oz at $6.99 is $.05825 per oz, or $9.32 per pound

The point i was making is that it's been the same price for the last several years.
2 years ago when average coffee prices, according to this report, were supposedly $6.00/lb, this same bag still cost $7-$9. At no point has it ever been $4.50 (6.00/lb) for this bag, or less than that.

The ground pork/beef mix isn’t bad and it’s cheaper too.

But the current $7 bag is the sale price. Compared to the retail price $7 from a few years ago.

A few years ago, you could routinely find 3/$12 deals at Rouses and Albertsons every other month or so.
