My barber just raised his price 25% for the first time in the 11 years I've been going to him. There's some sticktion to prices that's breaking free with the inflation we're seeing.
I like to look at the USDA retail price surveys for meat:

Chicken prices are all over the map right now - wings are down from last year, as are bagged leg quarters. Boneless chicken breasts have almost doubled in price.
Dude's paying over retail for AA eggs.
- memcg 4y agoThanks for the link. My consumption of beef and pork (Washington DC area) has increased since Covid began. Over the last decade, my grocery stores have moved from in-house butchers to regional processors, or better yet, vacuum sealed products. These products are clean and easier to freeze without repacking. I have purchased at least more than 100 lbs of cooked, vacuum sealed beef brisket for $8-10 lb in the last year alone. The quality is consistently better than my local BBQ joint. My approach is to compare and shop, not just buy.
