[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (3 children) You didn't mention meat. In Australia good beef has gone from about $30/kg up to anywhere from $45 to $60 and higher. Chicken used to be cheap. Not anymore. Lamb is now basically a rich person's food. Good luck buying quality lamb. Our supermarkets now have rfid chips on expensive cuts of meat, as they're so expensive. $18 a steak. RFID that thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) they're talking about broccoli and tofu. I doubt they care much about meat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] S_204@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm in Canada, we grow beef locally and I'm paying that price for good steak. The other week I was grabbing protein for dinner, and beef was not much more than chicken which blew my mind. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago bird flu was the reason for chicken prices rising so rapidly permalink fedilink source parent [–] The2b@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I don't eat meat as a part of my diet, so I don't bother keeping track of those prices, nor is it relevant to my food budget per month.
