>$12 for a pound of low-quality ground beef>Prices are going downThanks Trump, you're the greatest Jewish pedo president we ever had. I live in a red state btw.
>>524202739Can you read? It's $7.49 a pound retard.
>>524202739Eat peanut butter instead.
>>524202739your fault for living in a flyover.
>>524202739Yeah beef has gone up 14% in a year
>>524202739Smiths is a dogshit overpriced scam store that only retards shop at for convenience you fucking retarded kike
>>524202739>buying the pink tubes
>>524203009Tell us about it. Why did it go up?Why are we at 1950s level of cattle in the US?I snagged some NY strip for $9/lb the other day, 13lbs of it. And costco has 3x 1.5lb ground beef packs for I think $22. The 1.5lb packs are a great size, desu.
>>524202739All that shit has bones in it now. I've nearly cracked a tooth every time I've bought that shit
>>524203241its all just the nasty grey shit in a bad steak died pink.its the shit you would spit out while eating a steak. thats ground "beef"
>>524202739thats 1,5 pounds?!
>>524202739Then don't buy at overpriced garbage stores. I can buy 1lbs of ground beef anywhere from 4.99 all the way up to 8.99 here in europoor land. They only jack prices up because people are willing to pay them.
>>524202739>actually 7.50Bots need to update
>>524202839That's still fucking horrendous pricing. Should be $3 a lb.
I live in an expensive country with the highest grocery prices and I pay the equivalent of 10 for a pound of quality ground beef from certified beef cattle.
>>524203197because the distributors all banded together to collude under the table and jack prices up.
>>524206751That's wrong. A drought and feed prices made all the farmers sell their cattle. Now we don't have any.
>>524206903no the big four decided to collude under the table to underbid on cattle which caused producers to reduce supply. The result is ranchers getting fucked and massive profits for the big four.
>>524202739>mostly lean, 7.50 a pound>low qualitylmao, you must be brown
>>524206995You are a retard. Beef prices are high due to a combination of historically low cattle herds (the smallest in decades), severe droughts forcing ranchers to sell off cattle, high operating costs (feed, labor), and trade issues like tariffs that limit cheaper imports, creating a supply crunch met with strong demand, making it difficult and slow for ranchers to rebuild herds,It's not rocket surgery.
>>524207156yes, i am a retard, that's why we have lawsuits going back years accusing JBS, cargill, tyson, and national beef of collusion to underbid on cattle, import foreign beef, and fuck domestic producers over. Meanwhile their profits have never been higher.
>>524202739Inflation started 5 years ago and prices never returned to affordable. The biggest reason was the massive influx of over 5 trillion dollars irresponsibly pumped into the economy using the excuse of the pandemic. When you artificially pump trillions of dollars into the economy it causes prices to increase because it dilutes the value of the dollar.
>>524207156The suits allege the packers began exploiting favorable market conditions by at least the beginning of 2015. More specifically, the suits noted the coordination between the packers on the prices they would pay for fed cattle, and their respective slaughter volumes.“Thus, over time, the output of beef was reduced resulting in higher beef prices for purchasers like Plaintiff, during the Conspiracy Period,” the suits read.https://www.wlj.net/big-four-packers-faced-with-more-antitrust-suits/this ain't new.
>>524202739We pay about as much in euroland.Haven´t eaten beef in 2 years, can´t justify the price when pork and chicken cost half as much and it´s the same protein per gram.
>>524207375If you actually read the lawsuit it says that they bought less. So I guess that means by buying less they made everything worth more? You're fucking idiot you shut the fuck up.
>>524203197Costco meat quality is total shit now though. Woody chicken, shit marbling on beef, poorly trimmed purposely to add weight, etc. It is a symptom of commercial farming affecting everyone, but Costco also is not handling these changes well and are playing games.
>>524207626why don't you develop a brain instead of being a retard? Cattle levels are low BECAUSE these four companies colluded under the table to limit what they are paying and how many they are willing to take. This is a massive antitrust lawsuit going back to 2020 accusing these four companies of colluding to reduce domestic supply and therefore create massive demand that otherwise wouldn't exist, and charge for it. massive profits for these four, most cattle farmers getting fucked over. You have no idea what you're talking about. We have lawsuits from beef purchasers and mcdonalds of all companies that have been settled and won over this. the federal government antitrust lawsuit is ongoing.
>>524207633I've never understood why they call rubbery chicken Woody? Why don't we just call it rubbery? Anyway the American food supply is shit, because we don't have the standards in place that Europe has. We also have a population that is spiraling wildly out of control, and puts a strain on the American food supply. For example in the 1970s we had roughly 200 million people, we are quickly headed towards 400 million people. If we double the population every 50 years, no one will have access to food.
>>524202739>a poundIts 1 1/2 pounds you lying sonovabitch!
Where the fuck do you live? Lol im in San Jose, the most expensive city in the country and I can get a poud of ground beef for less than half of that and have it delivered to my door.>pic rel
>>524202739>Don't eat beef, it's not good for the planet>Wahhhh I can't eat beef, it's too expensiveBeef takes over a year to get to market btw retard. You shouldn't be eating beef anyway. Dems and Dem policies have spent the last few decades trying to kill off farmers. You useless eaters get to starve now.
>>524202739>OP is either ragebaiting or cant do mathEh, I paid $5.89/lb at Aldi. Went right into the freezer. They also had chicken on sale for $2.69/lb on breasts and $2.89/lb on thighs.
>>524205436it's not 2019 anymore.. my biggest advice for the current world is demand money for everything you do that could be perceived as helpful. I would charge an old lady $10 for directions to her grandson's house if it means I get to eat decent food
>>524208153>Amazon ground beef Quality lol
>>524202739Why don't you do research into the beef industry and why prices are the way they are
>>524202739Beef prices are terrible but chicken and pork are really cheap. There are regularly "Buy One Get TWO Free" offers at grocery stores because chicken is so over produced right now. Pork also has good prices, especially on sale. If you're craving beef, yeah, you're going to have to let them fuck you a bit.
>>524203241Damn, even Captcha can't triforce.
>>524207893It’s more natural than that, levels are very low right now through drought and farmers dying etc.
ITT retards who don't shop talk about food prices. A 3lb block of 80/20 used to be 2.99 when on sale in my necka da woods. Now it is 3.50. Anyone who says its $7 is retarded. What do you do with a 3lb block? Cut it into 1lb or 1.5lb blocks and freeze it. In addition, stores around me also heavily discount the ingredients for Wendy's style chili when they put ground beef on sale.
>>524202739you're going to the wrong fucking storealso get 99/1 ground turkey, add a fucking egg to it. BOOMMore Proteine. better tastingif you want red meat, eat an expensive steak and that way you can't complain because its a fucking treat
>>524202847>your fault for living in a flyoverShouldn't it be less expensive living near literal cattle and far from figurative cattle in big cities?
>>524202739>lean>private selection>7.49/lbyeah shits worse now but you posted some retarded shit and should kys.
>>524202739It clearly says 7.50 a pound there retard, learn into math.
>>524208397This. Turn it around and it will probably say "guaranteed without beef".
>>524208518No it's a huge conspiracy and this fag with his tin foil hat has it nailed down.
>>524202739That's a pound and a half and ground chuck tastes better. Nice try.
>>524208518Shouldn't have demonized those white males. We and eat computer chips when white males have been replaced. They're the ones providing all of the infrastructure and essential goods and services.
It's weird.Gas, Electricity, Rent, Mortgage all insanely high in Californiabut Red Meat is not. lots of cattle here and most people dont eat it so it's cheaper than many fly over states.I stop eating it on the regular and eat more fish and ground turkey with egg added inI eat a steak or a nice beef stew with prime cuts in a crockpot that cooks all day until it's falling apart maybe once a month or every 6 weeks. just as a treat.red meat sticks in your colon for up to 6 weeks. your colon (like your testicle) is full of cancer cells swimming around so stop eating it regularly
>>524207626Wow this nigger doesn’t know about supply and demand and is trying to talk about economics, lol.
>>524202739Half the USA is in a recession with many more states slipping into one as we speak. Freight traffic has been down for months in a row, a classic warning sign of recession.
>>524202739$12 is normal for grassfed organic
>>524208775There won't be a recession Mr doomgloom trump will just keep printing money. As long as numbers go up everything is fine.
>>524202739It's actually just $6 for you. People don't know how to price shop and when they see prices, they just assume "that's how the world works".Meat is still the same price as it was in grocery stores 20 years ago. People are just too dumbed down and stupid to price shop.If it's too high in price, just look at another meat and observe the price. Every time you go to a grocery store there will always be something stupid at a higher price. Just don't buy it.
>>524202739That is literally cheaper today at 8.99 for an even higher weight.If people want to pay full price for 10% of what what the item is, it's their own fault.
>>524206995Feed lots are paying record prices for calves, older ranchers just selling and maintaining a minimum herd vs growing herd, less profitable and higher risk for ranchers to do the direct consumer model, hay shortages and we cant just import cattle from Mexico because they have a parasite going through their herds screwworm i think which would've been the quickest fix, but yes the big 4 plants are an issue on top of all that and beef is a much slower taking over a year vs chickens that take a couple weeks
>>524208153it's not actually "less than half" because you're showing 1 pound, and OP's pic is 1.5 pounds.your picture is also of 80/20 fat content, and OP's pic is 85/15, which is less fatty and therefore more expensive. your meat isn't a better deal, it's just a different product.
These images were taken 30 feet away.
>>524202739You can get 1lb 93/7 at Sam's Club for 5.99.
>>524207156you're calling him a retard for no reason. he's fucking right. the additional details you brought up are correct, but your unwarranted hostility is like dementia in an angry old man.
>>524209370>Mexico because they have a parasite going through their herds screwwormdid a quick search and this actually the biggest factor US feed lots import 60% of their cattle from Mexico which has been halted due to the parasite
Also doesn't China own most of the meat processing facilities in the US now
>he doesn't know how to shop using per unit pricing>he doesn't buy directly from the butcherT O PK EK
>>524202739>Buy a brisket at $5/lb>Grind it up>Ground beef is now $5/lb
>>524203241>>524203503for all standard grocery types of ground beef yeahyou can still buy ground beef that is made with real cuts of meat though its probably like $1-2 more a pound
>>524202739why do you need to eat ground up dead animal flesh?
>>524207893Holy fuck, I didn't realize we had beef industry shills. Thanks for baiting the retards out.
>getting the price per pound mixed up with the total price>1PBTIDWell played OP, a successful troll thread.
>>524202739i bought some 4kg beef shoulder for xmas roast today. was 11.- eurofiat per kg. not too bad. at a gastro en gros though, restricted to b2b clients. smaller portions in supermarket can cost 18,-/kg
some swissanon should post their prices. it's no joke cost to eat well there.
>>524202739i just bought 1medium potato for $1.37
>>524202739Beef prices should be higher. Cows should be treated humanely and eating beef should be for aristocrats or special occasions
>>524212117That's physical work. Sir this is america
>>524214282Beef should be cheaper.Jeets should stay in their fucking country and consider the ramifications of their worship of beef eaters.Not your fucking gods. Go die of sepsis.
>>5242027391pbtid ragebait thread. Fine job good sir.
>>524208740>Hispanic or Latino>Could be of any race
>>524202739wtf is a pound you stupid unitedstadian
>>524202839thiswtf?dude is retarded, and thats 85/15 so of course its a bit more expensive
>>524217074ah, i'm interested in price/purchase power comparison. a slide can still be entertaining. let vegans be vegans, but kick em in the teeth if they bother you.
