This was probably a cut of meat that was on the verge of expiration.
A Perdue roasting chicken is $9 now vs $5.


Well if you are silly enough to buy name brands at full price you have nothing to complain about.

I bought chicken legs (no they were NOT expired or even close for .49 a pound a few weeks back).

I bought chicken breasts a few weeks back at .89 lb.

Now I doubt they can even raise chickens for that price.

Center cut chops I bought recently at $2.19.
Not on sale they are $4.59 or higher.

It seems to me that
1) food is a bargain
2) you have no clues how to shop

in 1971-1973 I worked for grocery stores.
I know prices.
Chicken on sale back the (whole chickens) were about .27 lb.
Not on sale perhaps .35-40.
I have recently seen chickens whole chickens for .69 or so.
Not on sale you can easily pay $1.69.

I can name countless other items.
In general I would say meat has gone up 150% over 35 years.
Someone care to compound that for me?
Can you pay more if you buy stupid? Of course
People bitching about food prices are clueless IMO.
