Guest Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I noticed in Ralph's supermarket today all pork meats 50% off. I usually buy extra-lean ground turkey for tacos, but they had a pound of ground pork for $2.89! And over a pound and a half of pork loin for under $6! Any of you know why pork's going for so cheap these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2play Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 It's cheap here on Canada as well. Pork producers aren't regulated like others such as poultry and dairy. But beef producers aren't regulated either and prices of beef have skyrocketed. Maybe something to do with feed prices and international markets but I'm not an agricultural economist. I know there have been problems with the Chinese market and they are huge. There are also cultural limits to consuming pork with many Jewish and Muslim populations eschewing it.

Jaroslav Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I read a different take on those same stats. Same hard numbers, but that the 0.2% decrease in grocery prices was “negligible” and “statistical noise.” According to what I read, gas and grocery prices continue to be unaffected by a decrease in inflation overall. For perspective… Groceries in 2021, $100 Groceries in June 2022, $109.10, 9.1% increase Groceries in March 2023, $108.79, 0.2% decrease Big savings! pubic_assistance and BSR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your point, but your math is still wrong. The 0.2% decrease is from February 2023 (not 2022) to March 2023. March 2023 is still much higher than any 2022 prices.

I thought for sure that price had to be for free-range or organic, but nope, just regular old eggs. Apparently a bird flu has killed millions of chickens, causing a severe egg shortage. On 1/13/2023 at 7:20 PM, misterhumphries said: In the past two weeks, the price of a dozen large eggs has doubled to at least $5.19 (the cheapest I found); an 18-pack of eggs was $7.25. Can't do without eggs, though so I try to numb myself to paying whatever. On 2/28/2023 at 1:53 PM, BtmBearDad said: Beyond the items like eggs, meats, poultry that have shot up in price, what irks me are the prices on other items that as long as I can remember were always cheap, usually no-name or store brand, and for me anyone, things I’d pick up to have in the cabinet or the fridge as back up or when I’m in the mood.

A dozen cost $6 for cage-free, and $7 for pasture-raised.

Luv2play Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 On 3/3/2023 at 3:55 PM, BtmBearDad said: I was always taught “Scotch” meant something from Scotland (ie; Scotch whisky, Scotch pine, Scotch egg, etc.), whereas “Scottish” or “Scot” meant someone from Scotland. Although Scottish can also mean something from Scotland, (ie; Scottish shortbread, Scottish tweed), Scot is singularly used, as far I am aware, to refer to a person from Scotland. BBD Well, a century and a half ago a headline in our local newspaper read. "Scotch Success at Cambridge". It recounted the story of a "Scotchman" who won a mathematics award at Trinity College. It said four "Scotchmen" from four different schools in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and St..Andrews had come to the university. It ended by saying the "Scottish" universities must be given the credit for teaching mathematics in a supierior way to the English schools. In the nineteenth century that is how nouns and adjectives were deployed. Note that Scotch and Scottish were both used as adjectives describing "success" and "universities" resp.
