/ck/ - Food & Cooking

In Missouri it's fine. Everything is fine.

Orlando FL. There are sections that are empty in all stores, especially dairy / meat / produce, but you can find everything if you look around.

It is about 50/50 supply chain issues and worker issues; Orlando doesn't believe in a living wage as a whole(cheapest apartment, saving on utilities, buying the cheapest food is roughly 15$ an hour for 40 hours a week. To put that in perspective, it was 11$ an hour 5 years ago).

Stores have the stock, but can't get it out on the sales floor because they can't find workers willing to work for poverty.

Show me the price of a steak, lying faggot.

>>16726505
Also, prices have gone up about 59 cents as a whole, on average. But food prices are stupid expensive here compared to other places I've lived in the Midwest.

>>16726445
Deep south here
We're actually better off than we were a few years ago, I can find more niche stuff (relatively speaking) in my local Walmart than I could a while back.

Its brutal in Canada. 17$ for 4 chicken breasts

The only notable price change here has been meat, which is like two or three times as expensive as it used to be

>>16726661

>>16726445
Alabama here. The only thing that is noticeably different is FUCKING THIN CUT RIBEYES ARE 20-40 BUCKS FOR TWO LITTLE SLICES OF RIBEYE. Most of the steak prices are ridiculous right now.

>>16726680
why are you buying boneless skineless chicken breasts you stupid cuck

>>16726661
$17 in freedom bucks or 17 loonies?

>>16726717
Because he's an idiot.

>>16726717
Cause bone in with skin isnt any cheaper and I dont want a bunch of chicken skin in my food nigger

>>16726745
>I want to pay more for less food that is also shittier
please kill yourself as soon as possible

I live in Canada and I’m getting butt fucked every time I shop.

I wanted to make stew last month so I went to the butcher and bought 2 lbs chuck for $16. Then I bought some potatoes, carrots, parsley, turnip, an onion and beef broth. I had Guinness at home for the broth.

Stew probably cost me $40+ I shit you not. And people STILL voted for Trudeau yesterday. I don’t know what has to happen before people wake the fuck up and the complacency starts to shed.

>>16726879
You ever heard of restaurants?

>>16726445

Oulun Kaijonharju here and the prices have been same for 7 years.

>>16726460
Liar, every supermarket is a Potemkin store now

>>16726836
You're literally paying money for an unedible bone which is like 30% of the weight. Tell me more that I'm getting less food.

>>16726445
>Price
Gone up on some products, stayed the same on others.
>stock
No shortages.

>>16726879
Yeah we have it so bad here. Only way to eat healthy on a budget is too buy boxes of frozen meat and eat potatoes

>>16726887
You mean the restaurant that would be even more expensive and require me to get a vaccine passport?

>>16726674
Milk has been climbing for me on top of meat. Even canned tomatoes and shit has gone up like .30 cents

>>16726745
Split chicken breast is literally 1/4 of the price here and you get the tenderloin with em

>>16726898
the bone is food you moron you make shit from it and it adds flavor. You just outted yourself as a dumbass that literally can't cook

>>16726894
Is that a dude? Is it gay if I would let him suck me? (Only with the Make-up and outfit on though)

>>16726898
You can make a quick small batch of chicken stock with it tho

>>16726445
Can’t find some zero calorie sodas & Gatorades I usually drink. More worried right now about finding my dog’s fav brand of food.

>>16727063
Why are you worried about an animal that will eat literally anything?

>>16726445
Eastern masshole here, nothing out of the ordinary inflation that's been going on the last couple of years. No shortages yet other than I couldn't find gatorade at the CVS earlier today lol. Oh wait I'm sorry I meant to say
>IN BIDUN'S AMURICA!
>>16727040
Yes that's pretty gay. That's OK though.

>>16726836
The price reflects the fact that you're buying only the high quality protein without the filler mass. I don't think you know how weights, ratios, costs or food really work.
>>16727034
>>16727056
>povertyfags save chicken bones to make watery homeless soup
Fucking lol. I'd rather just buy the protein and not bother wasting 5 hours of my life boiling scrap bones for subpar sustenance. But thanks to letting us know your lives are in shambles.

>>16727069
>why worry about getting food you like?
>the government will just give you basic staples like beans and rice and cheese if stores run out

>>16727106
breast is the simultaneously the worst, blandest, and most overpriced part of the chicken

>>16727106
5 hours? It's like 5 minutes of prep and you just leave it on the stove. The only you do once in a while is maybe add water

>>16727034
Imagine wasting your time making stock when you can buy a 30 pack of bouillon cubes for 4 dollars

>>16727114
>food you like?
Are you the one eating the fucking dog food? Fucking anything can be dog food you moron. That should be the last thing you worry about.

>>16727056
Even just cooking it with the bone in results in a better piece of meat.

>>16727161
This is also true. That's the real secret to juicy breasts

>>16727172
>breasts
Yikes. Get thighs faggot. Even legs and wings are better than bland ass breasts.

>>16727161
I buy plain chicken breasts to put in wraps and salads and stir frys.

>>16727179
You do? That's sad.

>>16727177
I do, but when split breasts are .50 cents a lbs. It's hard to ignore

>>16727177
Thighs are like mostly skin and fat that's why you're obese

>>16727148
also
>wolves and early dogs just ate whatever the fuck we threw away
>dogs ate scraps of food throughout history
>now buy "premium dog food"
>it's still just made of literal grain filler and the worst bits of rotten, maggot infested meat
>dogs still love it and will eat their own and other dogs' shit if you let them
Seriously drive by a dog food factory one of these days, it smells like absolute death lol.

>>16727184
That's fair. Split breasts can be pretty good. Seeing the boneless skinless shit that costs 10x as much just drives me into an uncontrollable rage.

>>16727205
I don't get it either, but if it keeps thigh prices down I'll let it go

>>16727106
>Fucking lol. I'd rather just buy the protein and not bother wasting 5 hours of my life boiling scrap bones for subpar sustenance. But thanks to letting us know your lives are in shambles.
kek based

>>16727295
Yeah not knowing how to cook is pretty based.

>>16727189
Studies of wolf and dog genomes show that modern dogs have evolved to digest carbs so the idea that grains are bad in dog food is bullshit.

And America has excellent pet food regulations so your bit about the shitty rotten meat is false.

>>16727299
>OMG you don't save the crumbs from your toaster and add them as a nutritious filler to soups and smoothies?!

>>16727307
Toaster? You mean my toaster oven? I don't have any crumbs in that. What the hell are you talking about?

>>16727314
I bet you save and consume bacon grease too. You're living in the great depression bra

>>16727299
>putting bones in boiling water for 6 hours is complicated cooking
lol. sorry, I actual food instead of worrying about the precious bones.

>>16727370
The Great Depression called, it wants its bones back kek

>>16726918
Stew costs $40+ at a restaurant?

>>16726745
>he doesnt like the skin
into the trash it goes

>>16727559
It's all fat. I like ice cream too but I dont want it in every dish

>>16727549
No but I'm not going to get 6+ servings for $40 at a restaurant.

Nor do I need a vaccine passport to eat at home.

>>16727930
So then it's not that expensive after all now is it? If you want beef you pay the price. Next time use chicken or pork or shut the fuck up and stop complaining.

>>16728173
>it's not expensive because it's more expensive at a restaurant

Are you retarded? $8/lb for chuck stewing beef is ridiculous and prices are going up across the board.

>>16728477
Yes it is very high. Nobody is forcing you to buy beef, kid.

>>16726445
Northern Georgia here. No huge increases but I am seeing things slowly trend upwards. The biggest change is that sales aren't as good as they usually are. It's mostly processed food going on sale. Kitchen staples don't have good BOGO deals as often but I can get good deals on cookies, crackers, and other junk food.

>>16728561
There are however weird empty sections on the shelves. It's almost never an entire category but something like hot sauce will be fully stocked with most brands but there will be two or three brands that are completely out and stay that way for weeks.

The price of steak is insane. I've mostly eaten chicken and pork since the pandemic began.

>>16728477
>$8/lb for chuck stewing beef
I'm in socal and it's still $4.50/lb here
