/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Conversely, I just paid over $12 for eight loquats. First time I've been directly affected by the recent price increases.
I don't usually buy on impulse, but I hadn't had loquat in literal decades.

Never heard of it. I posted so that people would realize all the great deals this weekend for the fourth of jews lie. They can put it in freezer.

$3 per pound ground beef at hy-vee this weekend. Probably sold at a loss leader to get people in the store for the 4th but who knows. Always been able to find cheap chicken even after the coof. I mean sure certain stuff like wings or breasts will probably be super expensive, but if you get the right cuts like thighs you can always find something cheap.

>>18054642
I never eat thighs or wings. Especially wings. Those are trash cuts my uncle throws away or uses for stock in this restaurant. Not worth the time.

As for thighs, I just don't like them. Prefer white breast.

$1.99 are you outta your mind?!

>>18054657
post hand

>>18054641
Oh. Yeah. I do the same. Stock up around holidays and freeze it. Near me, it's $2.49/lb for 80/20, 8 ears of corn for $2, large watermelons for $2.99/ea, grapes for 99c/lb, that good ass mango peach orange juice for $2/half gallon, rack of pork ribs for $1.49/lb, beef top round for $1.99/lb, boneless pork chops for $1.99/lb, chicken drumsticks or thighs for 98c/lb, grape tomatoes for 99c/pt, grilling sausages (brats, "Italian" etc) for $2.99/lb, Americheese $1.99/lb (or $2.49 for Kraft singles; cheaper one is still Kraft, but it's the one with the slices just stacked on each other), mayonnaise for $1.49/32oz, elbow mac for 75c/lb, bacon for $2.99/lb, friarielli for $2.99/lb, jell-o $1/box, shrimp burgers for $11.98/lb and so on.
Lotsa good stuff.

>>18054677
Huh? Why would I want to appease your sexual fetish?

>>18054757
Yeah, pork was pretty cheap too. Time to stock up everyone. Move aside all those corned beef briskets in the freezer from St. Patricks day.

>>18054781
I don’t think he is into fat men

>>18055043
Good. Fat fetishes are pretty disgusting. I wont appease his hand/foot/digits fetish either.

Yes

What are people buying?

The non-existent inflation the doomers keep screeching about gets debunked again. Sorry, you are going to have to wait for the sky to fall once again conspiatards.

>>18055801
It's mostly just holiday sales. Certain things get cheap certain times of the year.

>>18055058
it's about skin color you newfag

>Move aside all those corned beef briskets in the freezer from St. Patricks day.
All four of them? Srsly, I have four of those fuckers in there.

>>18054657
your loss bitchtits mcfattass

>>18055810
We are on a colorblind website anon...

>>18055816
Mmmm no. Healthy and trim.

>>18055826
Post nipple.

>>18055847
Stop it perv.

>>18054630
chicken that cheap is the bottom-of-the-barrel shit that is pumped full of hormones and extremely woody

>>18057606
Wrong. I have had up to 15% solution though which makes it too watery and salty.

>>18057618
doesn't say anything about growth hormones hermano

>>18057606
Never had woody chicken and all I buy is the cheap shit.

>>18057596
No. I need nipples. Post nipple.

I spent $50 on avocados, almonds, and diet dr pepper

>>18057668
Are you daft?

No chicken sold or raised in the U.S. is given added hormones. In fact, the USDA has banned all hormones and steroids in poultry since the 1950s.

>>18055801
Inflation is definitely occurring in upstate NY. I work putting together pickup orders for a regional grocery and the prices for everything OP posted are far higher and my store has same prices as Walmart.

>>18057740
Is it inflation or is it producers, suppliers and retailers using the supposed """""inflation"""" caused by two concurrent crises to line their pockets?

>>18057759
Think about it... 5 dollar a gallon gas.

>>18057759
you're thinking about inflation backwards. Inflation is 9% because producers are charging more, it's not because producers are charging more because inflation is 9%. Inflation is just a number we use to represent the reality of price increases, like how 3.5% unemployment isnt causing unemployment, it's the numerical representation of how many people are out of work. You may be thinking of expected inflation, which is different from real inflation, which is price and wage increases the public thinks are going to happen regardless of what producers actually need to charge to cover their production costs. Like if real inflation is 3% but the public thinks it's going to be 9%, they will demand 9% raises and producers raise prices accordingly to pay for higher labor costs. So in that case the extra 6% is for fake reasons

Welcome to the dismal science

>>18054630
Ribs are down to 7.50 or so for a 3 pound st Louis rack.
Couldn't help myself and picked up three. I'll be cooking one rack a weekend at this rate

>>18057782
Right. But is it because fuel producers/suppliers are charging more simply to price gouge during two concurrent crises or out of necessity?

>>18057836
Ah.

>>18057839
Beats my local prices. $4/lb
But then, I don't live in an area where pork ribs are really valued despite being far and away superior to beef ribs in every way. Also, I prefer the whole rack with the long bone running down it. Besides being far cheaper ($1.49/lb), I also find it to be tastier for some reason. Don't get me wrong, those St Louis style racks are good, too, but for some reason I don't adequately understand, they aren't /as good/ as the whole rack with that long bone down its length.
I chop through the bone between each pair of ribs with my cleaver after cooking the rack and serve. You'd think there'd be bone fragments, but no.

Biden shut down oil exploration, refineries and pipelines. Less gas, higher prices. Biden wanted this.

>>18057877
Crude oil prices are the most important factor in influencing gas prices by an enormous margin. Crude oil prices are double what they were in February. Gas is expensive because oil is expensive, simple as. Russia is the second largest oil producer and year ago they produced 13% of the world's oil. Something must have happened between now and last February in Russia that's interrupting their distribution of crude I wonder what that could be

>>18057946
Companies decide to explore and refine, not the government stupid and one pipeline that didn't exist before is not causing this

>>18057955
Russia has nothing to do with it. Stop believing the dems. It's all Bidens policy against American fuel/power independence. He and his parties policies alone made this happen.

>>18055801
Inflation is very real and measurable.
The myth is that it's anything but greed.

>>18057961
Do you not know what permits are?

>>18057961
There has not been a new refinery built in the United States in 50 years. Refinery capacity is at its limits and it is impossible for it to grow.

>>18057991
Refineries were even shut down.

Five refineries have shutdown in the United States in just the past two years, reducing the nation's refining capacity by about 5 percent and eliminating more than 1 million barrels of fuel per day from the market, leaving the remaining facilities straining to meet demand.

Fuck Joe Biden!

Won't it be great when we get down to 1 dollar a pound ground beef?

>>18057966
na you don't know what you're talking about bud, stay in your lane. the only thing biden could do is srop the gas tax for 18c/gal. why do you think the dems have been begging oil companies to produce more? if they could do something they would. the sheer amount of people pissed at biden about gas prices should tell you that if they could make hay by getting it down they would, since they want to get elected

>>18058015
go look up oil prices over the past year. There's your answer, it's not the refineries

>>18057877
>also find it to be tastier for some reason.
No you're right. Its a proven fact that bone in meat will always be more flavorful. Sadly this was all they had, and I figure its only because they needed to clean out the stock because last month at this time it was like 22 dollars for the same size.

>>18055801
>debunked debunked debunked!
>someone posted that they got cheap ground beef on sale so there is no inflation!
>all the market data that says there is inflation is wrong and lying!

>>18057961
>Companies decide to explore and refine, not the government
You must be 18 years or older to post here.

>>18058115
>bro they want more oil so they can get reelected! why would they limit gas production?
They started to limit it before it all went to pot and now they're scrambling to cover their asses after putting themselves and us in a shitty situation.

>>18057740
Price increases might be happening for you, but it has nothing to do with inflation. If you want want those prices to go back down then hold greedy corporations accountable and end Putins war of aggression in Ukraine.

>>18058168
>implying this has anything to do with Ukraines war.

Yet...

It's the fucking liberal commies.
