My man we're not seething at those. Those prices are fucked. I can get 2 of those chunky cans at my "high-end" supermarket for the same price as the one in your pic.
Where the hell are you shopping? These look similar to the price ranges you get when shopping at convenience stores in my city. The Asian/Middle Eastern owners buy in bulk at regular supermarkets to restock their wares, and Jew up the price.

This is marked as Prime. The highest grade of beef. Of course it's going to be expensive

Is that like northern canada prices where they only get shipments of shit during the winter cuz ice road truckers n shit?

This pic: >>14153011
Has the price of 5.29 for the single can.
$1 a can sounds like a super sale, like an overstock. It's not uncommon here but at most they're 2.50/1 can. Old Dutch chips tend to have the same price ranges too until you go into yuppie neighborhoods. Then they're priced similarly to your pic, lol.

Congrats you're in beef country. Places where that isn't true the price goes up.
I live in GA and in Costco a pack of prime strips is between $550-$70 depending on weight.

I'm in Ontario. I am >>14153079 continued on to >>14153128 so, no. Those prices can't be in Ontario unless you're in an asshole-rich neighborhood. I work in the downtown of Toronto but live on the west end and have my whole life. Grew up shit poor but learned how and where to buy what's worth my money. I've seen prices close to $100 for the prime rib in this thread, I got one from the butcher's one Christmas for $80, 4.7kg. That was awesome but proved to be too much for me and my roommates that year.

I generally go to butcher shops for my meat, as supermarkets seem to have gristlier, blander tasting meat. Sometimes there's decent picks in a pinch but I just don't like the look of steaks from the market.

I'm assuming you meant $50-$70?
Even then, that's crazy high.
Because I can go to a local butcher or meat house and get a side of beef (500+ lbs) for around $350
A quarter (100 lbs of beef) is about $150
All butchered and boxed

Here seafood is pretty pricy.
Shrimp is $3.99/lb and lobster is about $9/lb
And it's tough to find quality stuff

You know what, disregard that. I suck cocks. This city is expensive.

Holy fuck learn to hunt and quit spending that much money on beef. If you want beef get some friends together and go buy a cow from a local farmer way fucking cheaper even with custom processing. Also move the fuck out of big cities to small towns and have a big house and huge yard. Grow a garden learn how to can shit have a shed in your yard for butchering your own animals.

I saw that US meat packing companies were Chinese owned. There is a big export business. Chinks be hungry, and their soil is toxic, their animals sick, their food businesses add poison on top of that.
