Wow....just wow

[smokin fool]

Over at the Real Canadian Superstore this morning and these prices kinda stood out
Brisket 1.02kg or 2.4lbs $41 and change
Chicken the whole bunker was priced at $45-50 for a flat of chicken. It was Maple Leaf Prime brand but gee whiz

[HawkerXP]

That shrub in your backyard is starting to look real tasty.

[smokin fool]

Agreed, I may shovel the snow off the grass, cut it and make a salad

[ComfortablyNumb]

I guess two things come to mind, the citizens are now a captive audience as they can't jump over into the States, and with rising healthcare costs they are collecting it somehow. I miss going up north, but prices like that would make me pack a sack lunch!

[smokin fool]

Maple Leaf would be the Caddy of meats up here, there were flats of No Name chicken breast in another bunker foe $25ish per flat.
I just found at $50 a flat that's.....rape.....
We rarely buy beef because its so expensive, is chicken next?

[Jfrosty27]

Ouch. You gotta eat, but geez.
good luck my friend.

[smokin fool]

Gotta eat, maybe every second day or so now

[ofelles]

Even California isn't that bad.

Dayummm, Ouch!!!!

Better load up, HEAVY like on th beanz, afore they mark them up, as well...

[bbqLuv]

Beans and rice are reported to make up a complete protein. Or was the rice and beans?

[Mr. Bones]

Either, Either, Or... complete proteins...

Cain tell ya fer a fact, eatin beans an rice,some greens, waitin, hopin, prayin onna scrappa meat, one will still survive, an can have a full, happy belly, based on my experiences...

[bbqLuv]

Mr. Bones, the price of beans and rice went up in price when there was a meat shortage back in the early 70's.

[Huskee]

Ho lee cow. I had no idea food prices were like that up there.

[jfmorris]

That is what I would call highway robbery! I hope you find some affordable protein, so that you can eat, and also continue to support your BBQ and culinary pursuits.

[Oak Smoke]

So how's the rabbit hunting around there? Looks like it may be time to source some wild protein.

[FireMan]

My thoughts also, wabbit!

[smokin fool]

I'd be competing with the dawg for wabbits....don't want to cut her grass

[bbqLuv]

If I remember correcly the highest beef got was when the cow jumped over the moon.
She steered with her utter instead of a rutter and been in orbit since June.

[Mr. Bones]

That's Crazy Prices; seems they's a Glut, goin on, hereabouts; Roasts BOGO, Top Sir an Round...Poke Loin's $1.88 Family Pack, Strip steaks $5.99/lb, Poke Butts $1.49 / lb, 80/20 $2.99 MSRP Spares $1.49/lb....jus from a glance at one grocery's ad, fer today...

Ain't countin th sales, or Manager's Specials, there, in th case...

[Mr. Bones]

Y'all DO raise Domestic animals, up there, right? Not like they havedta jump acrosst th Border, an pay Customs??? WTH is goin on???

[smokin fool]

I'm thinking meat packers have spent millions to take Covid precautions and handed the costs right on down the line to consumers.
I get that but they could have eased us into it instead of a gut punch.
Like I said above there was another bunker of chicken breasts that was probably half the price on this bunker. I know which one I'm parking at next time.

[Dewesq55]

If my math is correct (not a sure thing at all!) that's about $8.20 US/lb. Very expensive.

[klflowers]

Wow that is incredible. Time to fence the yard in and start raising some livestock
