Shit’s bad in Canada, and our grocery store megacorps are taking us for all we’ve got. Five boneless skinless chicken breasts for $28 is insanity. Yet here we are.
I went to get chicken for some meal prep a couple of days ago (Missouri, US) and a 1lb container of just chicken breast tenders costs $13, I figured it was a “labor” cost for cutting the tenders off before the customer buys it, like how a container of diced onion costs an order of magnitude higher than just buying a whole onion, but nope, the pack of 2 breasts right next to it cost basically the same, maybe only 50 cents cheaper, and I wasn’t in anything expensive like a whole foods, just a generic lowcost midwest regional store. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention 2 orange or red bell peppers costs $5…
Chicken tenderloins are $3.94/lb at Walmart in Central KY. Where were you shopping?
This was at a Price Chopper in western central MO
Is this Schnucks?
Price Chopper actually
Also from Missouri. I got Aldi near me and their chicken is cheap.
Tyson announced several months ago that they were cutting back supply, just so that they could charge more. They’re one of, if not the largest chicken supplier (and they are fully vertically integrated) in NA, so them raising prices affects prices across the board.
Prepare for more pain as bird flu seems to be spreading in US cattle populations.
$3/lb for boneless antibiotic free chicken breasts here in Massachusetts. https://www.shopmarketbasket.com/sites/default/files/weekly-flyer/pdfs/2024-05/mb-flyer-May5-May11-2024_web.pdf
