Thanks Trump.

This is what happens when you deport your meat processing industry. It is a commodity and scarcity is being caused by ICE raids.

Holy shit...

😡

Don't try buying orange juice or chocolate either, or coffee.

For orange juice I switched to the concentrate cans before I left. Concentrated orange juice and apple juice from Dollar General were $2 each.

That's roughly what I pay at the Jewel.

They are price gouging red states.

We are sooo great now! SMH 🤦‍♂️

I never even noticed it until recently. That’s crazy!

Love to see those groceries more affordable and all.

Don’t forget birdflu that is no longer being tracked. CDC cut and run by wack jobs who don’t believe in science.

Oppression is their profession. This regime is pathologically sociopathic

Same here

Food is crazy expensive these days

Wow that is some inflation.

Ahhhh finally that economic winning we were promised

holy shit!! Steaks at walmart are also through the roof

I can no longer afford to purchase beef with my grocery budget. I can find pork on sale but even chicken is pushing its limit for me.

For TACO to bring down food costs

Pork shoulders and chicken are still fairly cheap. most people in USA eat too much meat anyway. just cut back portions of meat and add legumes

You are accurate, but also missing the point. Americans should (as a group) eat less meat; however, that's not really what this thread is about. People shouldn't be forced into having less or no meat due to poor government policies.

that’s a myopic view, the government shouldn’t be fascist.

I agree that the government shouldn't be fascist. Those fascist policies are contributing to rising grocery prices. This is still not the thread to talk about how great legumes are (they are really great).

probably shouldn’t be discussing politics then either

Brown rice and red beans are filling and very inexpensive. buy the dried beans. add some Mexican spices and corn and you really won’t care there is no meat.

😱 Jebus, you're paying $8.21US per pound! When it is only $7.50CA per pound in Canada, and I feel THAT is too much..

Not quite sure why one would be shopping at Walmart?

Same at Kroger.

Yep, inflation is low. Grocery prices are down, and Donnie weigh 185 and gas is $1.99, and everyone in America is living the dream.

Canada’s elbows are way up. 😂

I literally just told the hubby that my next meatloaf would cost us $15. His response was, "WTH."

That's nuts and I'm not doing it.

Wait until everyone starts going hungry like the 1930s.

This is, sadly, a likely outcome. Especially for people who are currently food insecure. Shame on all those who support this non-President.

Just spent $17.75 on 3lb of beef from Kroger that was $8.89 on May 1. Many Americans rely on beef for a cheap, easy source of protein. I'm worried about the families who receive food stamps.

I just paid $15 for a pound of coffee. 15 fucking dollars.

8€ in my backwards, ex-soviet 'poor' country for 500g and unground beans are 17 a kilo. Average beef is 10 a kilo, steak is 30.

And that's for real it's not people posting stuff making it up everything is going Up I spent $74 at the store today No meat 😁

Aren't u in the mid-west? Thought beef is their gig there?

We use huge swaths of land to farm soybeans and corn to feed the cows. Nearly all the land in the Midwest is a soybean or corn farm.

Freedom

And that's not even the lean ground beef.

Hamburger Helper is the new lobster dinner. 🦞

Standby for Trump demanding the firing of Walmart’s loony left radical butchers.

Girl, that’s what I pay per pound for organic at Whole Foods here in Westchester, New York What is Walmart doing?

That is crazy I remember when it was $4.

I can recall when 80/20 ground beef was $2.50 per pound.

Two years ago because of stomach issues I quit eating meat. Kinda glad now.

😱

Check out prices at your local meat markets. I paid $3.69 for 80/20 which is actually better tasting than 85/15. It tastes like ground steak because it has no pink slime.

$7.30/lb? I guess that’s a good deal now. At Kroger in So Cal it’s $8.99/lb

Well, its a good thing I have stomach issues, that won't let me eat red meat! I never thought these stomach issues were a blessing!

A sure sign it's imported? That costs way more than organic local beef.

It is about $8/lb at Aldi here in the StL Metro East.

This is why groceries is an old fashioned term - we can’t afford a bag full

Yes, a bagful could cost $100. That’s a lot of $ but not necessarily a lot of groceries.

Good... Bring The PAIN

It's when I see prices like that makes me glad to be vegan. Dayum.

We are going to all be vegan with prices like this!

Could be. But every trip to the grocery store, I see even the vegan stuff going up. Truth is by the time tRump is done with us we all may have starved.

You're shopping in the wrong place. This is Sam's Club, right now.

$5.44/lb Canadian here. That's about $3.95/lb USD

This is insane. 1 pound of Laura's ground beef (which is much better quality imho) or even organic or grass-fed & finished costs $8.99/lb or less.

They think we won’t notice.

Better find a way to feed at least the KIDS for a WEEK on that.. Still waiting for grocery PRICES to DROP! Last time I checked, Day ONE came and went, LONG ago..

I'm boycotting Walmart because they rip people off. They're scammers. Walmart is a very expensive store that sells garbage.

Some countries aren’t buying our beef anymore , we’re paying the price while corporate profits skyrocket!

We were discussing what we could make at our annual Suicide Prevention Coalition Walk this year. We don't have enough funds allocated to buy beef this year. And I am from cattle country Wyoming.

Costco 88% lean / 12% fat is $5/pound. I picked up 6 pounds for $30.

The nearest Costco is 150 miles from here, 600 miles to nearest Aldi's.

Yup, still Less than 5 bucks a pound here too, not sure how long that will last though.

I was never a Costco shopper until they stuck with DEI. Now I have found so many things I love, including getting gas there!

It can be a good deal, as long as you know where to look. I’m not going to delude myself into thinking that they’re an ethical company just because they virtue signal trans rights though.

They treat their employees fairly well. I know someone who has worked there almost 20 years. The pay has always been better than others for the most part.

My boss gifted all of us a Costco membership as a perk, and insisted we use it for everything work related especially gas. It paid for itself.

What an amazing boss!! ❤️ Best thing I have heard all day. Thanks for sharing.

Grilled cheese with store brand bread and cheese…

But, but…Dear Leader has stated the prices are going way down. Two pounds for almost $17!? Get out. Gas prices too. Gas here in Washington state is as high as $4.09 a gallon. The evil, racist, pile of shit is a LIAR and everyone can see that for themselves. 🤬🖕🏽#TRUMPEDO

Oh my. Haven't needed it yet.

That is about the same as what we are paying in NJ. I felt like I needed a second mortgage to pay for Taco Tuesday.

There's roughly a 2M cattle drop over the last couple years which will take at least two more years to recover from. Tie that with 50% tariffs on imported beef from Brazil which accounts to about 20% of the beef consumed in the United States and there you have it

That’s about right even in NJ. But Lidls has it for a little more than half price. $4.99/lb

Lordy.

Thank you Donald.

Similar in NC, 93% ground beef is $7.49 lb, ON SALE!

Aldi, as well.

Did you do the steaks!? 38.00!!

About level with us here in Netherlands. €14.98 = $17.55 for 1kg (2.2lb) in my local Albert Heijn is $7.96/lb equivalent. We do, however, have: universal healthcare, better infrastructure, non-ruinous college, and a mostly livable minimum wage. Unfortunately we also have asshole politicians.

canada has universal health care and non-ruinous college and ground beef cheaper than yours or america's. unfortunately a human sacrifice to moloch is required to afford a single family home

Which is so weird given the size of the country and the number of people!

most of the country is subarctic and no one wants to live there haha

This is also, bottom of the barrel, grain fed mass produced beef. Its pumped full of hormones to grow as fast and as big as possible and pumped full of brine solution to keep in shelf stable.

And cows that have good diets, high welfare standards, and low drug use. Still shocking that we, the EU, have 'religious' exemptions for the slaughtering process though.

I'd pay more than that to have what you have

Going up, up, up, up!

$7.30/lb??? 😳 Paying that for Walmart ground beef is just unbelievable. Meat will soon be rich people’s food.

Ground beef that probably wasn't inspected due to cutting the FDA. I doubt I am the only person noticing the frequent recall of tainted foods. Besides, who can afford beef nowadays?

I had a steak Saturday night and thought, man, I am going to need a raise to pay for this.

It's getting ridiculous seeing prices while shopping!!

You mean this guy isn't really a financial wizard?

Good thing I don't eat a lot of meat. But that doesn't mean I don't feel for those who do.

Wow

Shameful!!!!

For the price, Folks may as well buy local!

$7.30/lb. That’s going to go up, too.

It's about 6.99 a lb at Aldi.

$5 at Costco, but they sell 6 pounds minimum for $30.

But at Aldi, they sell it in a one pound pack. And I'm talking about the 93/7% fat kind. I've saved so much money switching my primary shopping to Aldi. I also go to Costco, Trader Joe's, etc, for the items I can't get elsewhere. 😊

Ik ik, and I freeze a bunch when I buy.

Trump can try to not report employment or inflation stats, but it won’t help him. People know a bad economy when they’re living it.

One more reason I'm glad I don't eat meat.

You are absolutely right! I don't cook red meat unless my wife is out of town, so I'm often clueless on beef prices. He's a rapey felon president and probs a pedo. We should boycott US businesses.

Same in Illinois. Ground beef used to make an economic family meal. No longer.

Produce as well is a joke. People need to take a gander at those prices too. Thanks to staff cuts and racism.

Ridiculous. Anybody pretending that’s affordable for families is lying.

And some of us don’t or didn’t even buy 85. I used to go leaner, but now not at all. 😞

He’s taken over leadership of the Kennedy Center, one of our cultural icons. He has created an oversight committee for the 28 Olympics, which he will head. He spends an inordinate amount of time begging for a Nobel Peace prize. All this between rage “Truthing”& golfing. Not much to do as Prez, huh?

I don't want to hear about Republicans being upset that he "betrayed " them you fucking morons Kamala told what the Republicans were going to do SUFFER MOTHER FUCKERS ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WOMAN WITH A PLAN MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU hopefully we can weather the storm

I went Food shopping the other day. Ground beef was $19. + & change 85/ 15. I did not purchase it.

It’s half that price here in Australia for extra lean (5% fat) no added hormones beef. ($8.18 Us$).

Then Wally World aka Walmart down here in Orlando Fla and it was 128$ AND wTFK is was 7 bags. I am about to lose my shit. Wkd at an ABNB has cost me 450 AND I JUST ARRIVED!! I NEED my swim trunks and a STRONG ASS DRINK!!!!! Then hitting that sweet king size bed!!! Hollaaaaaaaaaaaa.

THIS IS INSANE!!!! We r talking about NOT even close to half the BEST ground beef. WTFK is going ON!! I literally spent $91 at Publix down here this morning and I walked out with literally five bags yes five bags I packed my own bags. As she used to cost 45.-50 bucks tops!!

We switched to ground turkey, during the pandemic, with no real issues to speak of, apart from the fact that ground poultry needs a LOT more seasoning than does ground beef or ground pork. 🤷‍♂️

Started eating oatmeal for dinner.

More per pound then the National Minimum wage.

> 2x min wage

Yep. About 2 hours and 15 minutes to pay for 2 pounds.

Magats called me a liar when I told them a pound of beef was more than minimum wage. Damned pedo worshippers

So why eat meat? It's terrible for you.

That’s cheap if you’re one of those billionaires

This is today’s price at a small grocery store 13 miles from where I live. I’m in a rural area-no Walmart, no big name grocery stores.

Not supporting that sh*t-hole, racist company. Not now, and never again.

It costs less than this here... in CAD! For example: today, at the nearest supermarket, we have lean ground beef at $5CAD/pound

5 months ago I posted, "In 6 months I'll be saying, "Remember when Walmart was cheap?" Look out, Nostradamus. I'm coming for ya.

True.

So I can’t even afford to eat crappy food anymore…

Their ground meat sucks anyway. My cat won't touch it.

OMG! I rarely buy ground beef but I had NO idea.

Today in Toronto.

Meatloaf the new filet mignon ….

Fuck them

But isn't that better than people in Springfield,Ohio eating dogs and cats?

A key is going for 16 bucks?

Leave it but frozen let it age

trump take burger

We can talk all we want but a picture is worth a thousand words. People are going to be stunned by this. Thanks Jess for posting this.

I bought ground turkey earlier today instead of beef

80/20 at the local butcher shop in Joplin is $3.29/lb. Where is Walmart getting their cows from?

Which butcher?!?! I’d love to shop there.

Worden’s Meat. They also have locations in Webb City, Lamar, Springfield, and Republic. The prices are great and they’ve had ground beef as low as $2.99 during sales.

If meat isn't exactly murder for some of us, this price certainly is!

Eggs are going up again too 😞 and milk and dang near everything else... I saw peaches marked at $5/pound 😮‍💨

Winning

I remember when a pound was $1.

My mom would give me $2 and send me (12 yrs old) 4 blocks to the local butcher shop (Chicago). "Get a pound of Ground Chuck" It was always over 1 lb and I always came home with a dollar.

And that’s not even the good stuff.

Cheaper than a $6 hamburger at sonic

Food Lion, the cheapest grocery store in NC, 93% lean ON SALE this week at $7.49/lb. Normally this year, on sale, it's been $5.99. It's only going to go up.

I used to get chuck roast at Food Lion in Virginia on sale for $2.99/lb. The last time I saw it on sale recently, I believe it was $5.49.

$5.99/lb this week at Food Lion.

Yup, I wasn't sure if it was $5.49 or $5.99 and gave the old Lion the benefit of the doubt. But $5.99/lb. for tough meat sent me straight to the pasta aisle.

My wife has a great recipe for it from her mother but still cooks it too long, 35 yrs she is so stubborn 😅

It's all in the marbling. The last one I made was absolutely delicious. But you're right. If you cook it too long, it's dry and stringy once you suck all the cooking juice and gravy out of each bite. It's one of those recipes I'm eternally trying to perfect.

Yup, it was $8.50 at Walmart in NC this week. I purchased a pound of ground turkey to mix in it because I refused to buy more.

Yep, same thing I used to before the turkey prices went crazy. Before Trump's first term turkey wings were slightly more expensive than the equivalent weight in chicken.

Years ago, I bought a vacuum sealer for my wife as a present, and no, she didn't divorce me. 😆I've been buying meats and chicken parts when on sale since then, shrink wrapping them and putting them in the freezer, it saves a little bit of money here and there.

We are a big beef eating family and I grew up in beef country out in Western KS - that said we swore off beef for the time being. I bought a two pack of pork shoulders for $26 Sunday and ended up with 4lbs of ground pork and 4lbs of pulled pork. Meanwhile a beef brisket sat untouched at $98 on store

No kidding. The reality is that consumption of beef 🥩 is going to plummet. The prices are way too high. Roasts, steaks, briskets are crazy expensive. Ground beef is a good idea but I don’t trust the butcher to add more fat than would have been previously acceptable. The times ahead are scary.

Last week…12oz of bacon, $12.99 > California Didn’t Trump say he’d lower prices on day one?

I used to pay $12 for beef bacon. Regular bacon in my corner of Philly was $4 to $6 depending on the brand.

Aren’t we a beef producer?

It's only going to get worse.

What does 85/15 mean?

Fat/lean %

And you're paying for 15% of it to melt away and shrink the overall volume a lot as you cook it.

Ok thank you

85% lean / 15% fat

Ok, thank you

Farmers are sending their cows that would normally have calves to raise for beef to slaughter. They are getting top dollar for the meat. But they are diminishing the herds and it takes years to raise cattle from birth to slaughter. The cost of feed is high and so is demand. It's a perfect storm.

I sure wish the felon's servants would tell me where they shop and get gas. Everything I buy has gone way up in price, but I hear the orange menace tell me everything's down in price. It must be just me shopping at the expensive stores like Walmart or goodwill

6 weeks ago I picked up a 3 lbs pkg at Publix of the 85/15 it was $4.99 a lb- they have 92/8 on sale this week for 6.99 . The price of food is unreal don't understand how families are making it- there is just 2 of us and we are stretched thin

But but but…the regime said groceries are going down! Would a regime lie to their people?

Alarming.

Wow!

No Thanks.

It's not just the price that has gone up ... with all the substantial deregulation at the FDA, the *danger* of getting sick from "bad" meat - and possibly dying - has also increased significantly.

At least the gas is $1.98

Wow. Headed for ribeye country. Gracias.

Lentils & water, forget the meat.

OMG

Yet, this Republican administration announced yesterday that inflation in the U.S. is cooling off.

3 apples $7.99

We gonna get skinny between inflation and Ozempic like drugs.

Or dead.

Here's a 12 pack of Coke at Hy-Vee. What in the world?

Wow that’s really dropped nicely since tЯ☭mp’s policies kicked in ☹️

Yes, but according to Trump gas is $1.99 a gallon. 🤪

But the eggs price? But Hunter? But her emails?

It’s the economy stupid

Someone told my husband today that prices were up because of all the shoplifting. They were just passing the cost of all that theft along to us. 🤦🏻‍♀️

For something that turns to grease. Not even the good stuff. Could see if it was 93/7.

And 85/15 ain’t even the good stuff! I said what I said.

I guess he's too busy ending every war ever started and giving Alaska away!!! 🤦‍♂️

Trump says gas and food prices he’s brought them down! LOL, in his dreams!

It better be Wagu beef at that price..
