Aw come on Jess; you could get the 30/70 and save money. The 70% fat is good enough for your family. 😉

Here if you check the label of Sainsbury's mince it says "a mixture of fresh and frozen mince" without giving a % and it's still expensive.

The beef mince at Sainsburys has % on there. It's also currently £3.50/500g for the same as what's pictured, that's almost 50 g more in package. Using an approximate exchange rate, it would be $4.90 or so. Considerably cheaper. www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/produ...

Well we're obviously talking about different Sainsbury's mince then aren't we? This one doesn't say a mixture of fresh and frozen so it's not the one I was talking about.

I can't find it Maybe they removed it. But people weren't happy, just like they aren't with the vacuum packaging at the moment (after a google) but I haven't tried that so can't comment.

I mean, I've only been shopping there for almost five years, where even when they were in the not vacuum pack the label was similar. Maybe you are remembering a time from before that? What I find more disturbing about buying UK beef products is how many things are just labeled 'steak'

I shop at Morrisons now because it's the cheapest place in this nowhere town. I can't remember when it was, but im almost certain it was after covid and the COL. I haven't noticed the steak thing tbh. I do actually eat frozen now because fresh is just too expensive.

Or I shop at the nisa local and get delivery, because it is more expensive but I live a few miles from the shops so it's cheaper to get it delivered by nisa than it is to shop and pay for a taxi back.

Time to eat the rich!

Is this because of Brazil boycott or US beef industry taking advantage of a bad situation to make more money?

I would never buy any meat at Walmart anyway, but that price is ridiculous.

Math is hard for liberals.

The math in question not bulk prices vs. non-bulk, it's pre-Trump vs. Trump-era. I know context is hard for conservatives. You know your masters aren't going to pat you on the head for defending them, right? You're poor and powerless. They have nothing but contempt for you.

If being a lemming gets you thru the day...keep your head buried,your negative attitude fresh and carry on Chris.

Also, not sure how I have a negative attitude but you don't when you came here insulting a wide swath of the population, but I only insulted the asshole insulting large swaths of the population.

That makes no sense in this context, Dave. If I had my head in the sand, I wouldn't notice prices had gone up just because I could buy a different item that cost less. The right-wing trope of claiming the left are followers while licking the boots of the dear leader only works on other toadies.

Great time to give up meat

Hello Ms. Piper, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...

Huh. At my chain grocery here in Vancouver BC (Save On Foods) lean ground Canadian beef is $8.50/lb Canadian. That’s $6.19 USD. “Lean” is 83/17 here. Regular is 70/30 and it’s about $5.50 USD.

We don’t get the 70/30 option here. All 80/20 and a little 90/10

73/27 is 4.94 at Walmart

This is what minced beef cost me in Norway in the 1980s.

$2 more per pound. When that orange POS created the stupid AF name “Big Beautiful Bill” he was referring to our high grocery prices.

Better price at Aldi

No Aldi's in Maryville.

Eating the rich is a better bet, for most of us.

Same in Columbus Ohio.

he wasn't kidding, pretty soon we'll *all* be eating cats and dogs.

I just looked up the Safeway price:

*cries in California*

Lower red meat consumption is the only healthy thing Trump and his mobsters are accomplishing. And this is only by accident.

Beef is for the ruling class, not peasants. Bird flu hasn't suddenly gone dormant or died down, so the rich will enjoy chicken as a delicacy, too, from exclusive, secretly vaccinated flocks.

$5.69/lb at ShopRite ($5.19/lb if you buy 3 lbs).

Maryville doesn't have a ShopRite
