Trumpflation: Record beef prices raise Memorial Day cookout costs

[Harry Dresden]

Another example of the stupidity of voting for Trump.

hey jones how come you never reply to your critics here?...are you that much of a wuss?...

Beef prices set records last month at U.S. grocery stores, and economists expect they will climb further as demand increases during the summer grilling season that traditionally begins with cookouts on Memorial Day on Monday.

One consumer feeling the pinch is DeAndrea Chavis, an artificial intelligence analyst in Raleigh, North Carolina, who buys ground beef nearly every week to prep tacos and other dishes for lunch but lately is making smaller portions because of rising prices.

Chavis said she has seen lean ground beef prices climb above $9 per pound from $6 to $8 in recent months. She is planning to keep hamburgers on the menu for a cookout next week but may have more hot dogs in the mix to control costs.

"Ground beef is supposed to be a cheaper option," said Chavis, 28. "Now that is even starting to add up."

The MAGA crowd blamed high egg prices on Biden, so what goes around comes around.

Karma.

Are you tired of winning yet?

Anecdotal crap. Nothing in this OP is fact…bought ground beef yesterday, $4.99lb, on sale…

 

[j-mac]

I can get ground beef for $3.50/lb.
Not at Wally World though, they're gouging.
Still have a $6.99 rib roast, it'll come down soon again.

Friend of mine, VP at Food Lion tells me that you should never buy meat from Wal Mart, it’s all Chinese crap injected with gas to keep it looking red…

some of our markets do that too its called MAP (modified atmosphere packaging)Some meat is packaged using MAP, which involves flushing the package with a mixture of gases (like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen) to maintain a bright red color and extend shelf life.

Awesome!

Thanks for reminding me how big my checks going to be when I take my yearlings to the sale barn later this year.

I might just have to get rid of their daddy too. He would bring a pretty penny!

Beef prices had not one - but TWO historic price hikes under Biden.
Once in late 2020, and another in 2022.

It's like he isn't even trying to be unbiased.

they claim the only side affects are farting....

they claim the only side affects are farting....

Who is they?

"It’s estimated that as much as 70 percent of supermarket meat has been treated with Carbon Monoxide, which keeps it looking artificially fresh, even if it spoils.

However, in the European Union, Japan and other countries, this practice of using carbon monoxide packaging is not allowed. Resistance to the technique stems around concerns that the bright red meat is misleading for consumers. In theory, a piece of meat can be bright red and still dangerous for consumption. In addition, there are concerns that carbon monoxide may have negative health effects."

Looks Can be Deceiving: The Truth About Grocery Store Beef - Pleasant Grove Farms

When beef is exposed to air, oxidation naturally turns the color from purple to red. Over time it changes to brown and finally grey. Why is it then when you walk into a supermarket, you’ll be greeted with display cases full of red meat? This is due to a process called “modified air packaging”...

Nothing to do with not enough cattle.

I would like it if everyone
became a vegetarian.

You can be sanctimonious
and help me out at the same time.

Oscar Mayer Beef Bologna Deli Lunch Meat, 8 oz Package​

Oscar Mayer Beef Bologna Deli Lunch Meat, 8 oz Package - Walmart.com

Buy Oscar Mayer Beef Bologna Deli Lunch Meat, 8 oz Package at Walmart.com

www.walmart.com

You would have to be a retard or a MAGA to buy prepackaged Oscar Meyer bologna at Walmart when you can get it cut fresh in a supermarket deli for under $7 per pound.

That Walmart price is $6 for 1/2 pound. That's a Trumpflation price.

 

[Synthaholic]

No lies from the OP. Prices are going up under Trump and will continue, along with higher interest rates and inflation, all while our debt gets massively more expensive to pay off.
