Buy em now and put them in your freezer, it's gonna go a lot higher.
They were Fantascaliscous!!! :heh:
They looked like it!! Should make a fantastic item for game night. I will be sure to take pics and let you see how they go over. I will be sure you get credit where credit is due. ( hijack over :tsk.
Supply and demand. Price increases being passed on to the consumer. Pork prices are going up due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus that reduced the amount of available pork. The pork situation may level out by mid to late summer. Beef prices will continue to increase due to drought conditions that reduced the supply.
Stock up while you can becomes a balancing act of increased electrical cost to operate home freezers vs. the cost to purchase fresh. Chicken quarters are looking better every day.
I could me mistaken, but I think it actually costs less overall to run your freezer packed full as it doesn't have to cycle as much as it would with lots of air space in it.
So should I buy a couple cases of IBP pork butt at $2.09/lb? I really like that pork.. very fresh and non-injected.
I always cruise the meat section when I go to Sam's. When I saw these prices I asked the manager if they were correct...he said yeah. Who in their right mind would pay $55 for a brisket flat??? And that price for the short ribs is insane....
My chest is half full-.
