Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.

    I love the one comment on the article calling $82 normal

    About $9 a kilo,$4 a pound, yes that’s about right. Lately chicken has been $11 a kilo.

      In Germany good quality meat costs about 25 EUR per kilogram. Everything under 10 EUR per kilo is considered low quality.

        i wouldn’t say it’s low quality, just not luxury meat.

        like ground pork is perfectly fine, it’s basically the definition of the concept of meat, it’s just that a beef steak is pretty fancy.

        This seems normal for western Europe. Meat prices will range from roughly 4 to 55 euros per kilo, ranging fro shitty chicken to prime beef cuts.

        I know you don’t realize how incredibly cheap food (even meat) is in Germany, that’s ok.

      That’s a normal price for semi-decent chicken.

      Here, the price for a normal, decent chicken is 22 to 26 euros. It gets you a bird that has lived a normal life, has been outside most of its life, hasn’t been injected with weird shit, has eaten normally and has led a regular chicken life. That’s if you buy direct from the producer though (through the many ways to get stuff directly). Otherwise, you can possibly double the price.

        It’s hard to find good quality meat these days, I eat a lot less meat than I used to.

        The quality is not what it was 5-10 years ago and the prices are much higher. When I go grocery shopping I feel like I scour the meat section for anything that is both a good price and looks good, and most of the time I just leave unsatisfied. I bought a chest freezer so now I stock up when there’s an actually good deal.

        Vegetables have gotten worse too. I have to double check everything at the super store near me. Even things like beets and potatoes spoil quickly like they’re very old stock. I have to feel and smell everything before I buy it.
