do you eat any meat at all?
I have tracked prices as well, and for me meat has gone 15%-20% up for chicken and pork, and over 30% for red meat.
I was tracking meat in the same places (Trader Joe, and Target) from late 2019 to now.
A normal steak, went from $10-$11/lbs to $15 or more
The cheapest one, went from $7.99 to $10.99/lbs
And file mignon went from $17 to $23-$25/lbs
Regular Chicken brseat went form $3.99 to $4.99/lbs, and organic one went from 4.50-5.0 to $6/lbs
- flexie 5y agoEvery day. Chicken, pork, beef etc. We buy it at the butcher though. Don't know if prices at butchers rise less.
- runako 5y agoWow, where are you? Chicken breasts can be had for $1.99/lb here. I'm also looking at a grass-fed organic steak at $11.99/lb [1]. We haven't seen the claimed inflation here. https://www.kroger.com/p/simple-truth-organic-grass-fed-beef-ribeye-steak/0001111019270?fulfillment=PICKUP&searchType=suggestions https://www.kroger.com/p/simple-truth-organic-grass-fed-beef...

- runako 5y agoIt's not really reasonable to extrapolate from one of the richest, most expensive places in the world. Manhattan has a unique set of circumstances that drive prices there that often do not apply anywhere outside of the NYC metro area.
- hunterb123 5y agoSmall town in Texas here, my experience reflects the New Yorker above. Not the same prices obviously, but the same rate of increase.
