There was a week when we had a similar situation but I haven't noticed
a lack of frozen chicken breasts in months.

We had that too but I think that may have been them cleaning the
section because I've never noticed a lack of fresh chicken before and
since then. The price has also stayed the same for the fresh chicken
over the past year.

The thing that stuck out the most to me was the BirdsEye Voila!
skillet dinners. Those pre made dinners have doubled to over $8 a bag
now. There's no reason for the price to double as none of the
ingredients have risen more than about 10% over the past year. So it's
like they looked at the ingredients going up by 10% in price and just
added up the 10% until they got to 100% price increase.

Oh, our chicken section was closed like that for months. Eggs keep
vanishing and then coming back as well.

Also we have Sanderson Farms chicken but I haven’t seen Tyson brand
anything in a year now.

And lobster has doubled but I always feel guilty complaining about the
price of lobster.

The store brand version has gone up too, but only a couple bucks, so
they may be less than the Brand name. There's been a few reports that
over 50% of the price increases have been corporate driven. Whether it's
gas or food, they decided they needed more profits..

Yeah, Katie Porter did a great presentation showing that normal
inflation is driven by about an 11% increase in corporate profits but
this year it's been about a 54% increase in corporate profits.

Apparently you don't know how society works. Plant based milk has been
an acceptable term for years now, and an anonyshit asshole who thinks
otherwise on a dying social media platform doesn't mean dick. Do you
understand ?

Okay, that made me laugh out loud! What's a SCAM, Eunuch "Rich"? The
availability of CO2? The price of flavored sparkling water?
Milquetoast shawn's posts in general? Your syphilitic brain hardly ever

At least with fresh chicken I can see why you might not have the same
supply that we do as those likely come from nearby states. Since we
have a lot of chicken farms in the South I wouldn't expect us to lack
for them, but the frozen stuff can be shipped anywhere.

Well they are still in business. Went to the grocery store and saw a
bunch of the Tyson Frozen Chicken breasts in the meat section along
with other brands.

Yeah, the delivery apps have an astonishing assortment of varieties of
frozen Tyson chicken. But I never see it or the canned variety I used to
use to make chicken salad in the stores anymore. And absolutely no sign of
it in the meat department.

All the ultra pasteurizeds taste lousy with off-tastes to me. I'm happy
to buy cheaper and better milk, as in so many things you don't get what
you pay for.

> All the half gallon options cost more than five dollars though.

I pay like 3.40 for the traditional half-gallon waxed cardboard containers,
with my love of milk I'm brand conscious and often get off-tastes from
the wrong brands of milk.
