I think 85% for Turkey was last month's number .. gotta be higher now ..From a brief search it shows about 85% inflation in Turkey. The reported 7-8% for the US is total bull shit. Everything that I depend on is up much more. Eggs are up 500% on average, Ground chuck has doubled and name brand loaves of bread have near doubled in price.
I think the chickens got unionized.....Eggs are up 500% on average....
The main reason for the high egg prices is due to avian influenza. So far over 30 million birds affected. When a farm is hit with AI it takes months before they are up and running again. The first step is to depopulate. Then the cleaning process starts. Which takes weeks until the swabs come back negative. Then there is the troubles of even finding birds available to refill.Yes, the food bill is completely out of control, and other then our mortgage our second largest expenditure a month now. Freaking stupid.
Who would have thought 2 years ago, that we would be paying close to or more then $16 for 2 dozen eggs? Holy F**k!
Funny you mention that, did this earlier today!I made a reverse seared tri tip last night that I had vacuum sealed and put into the freezer in early 2021. Turned out great!
Today, I wanted to use some of the purposefully undercooked left over tri tip for fajitas but didn’t have any bell peppers. Wow! What a shock! One bell pepper, red or yellow, is $1.52 per! This compares to $0.49 before Biden started tearing our country apart.
Nearly a hundred dollars for 3 yellow onions, two bell peppers, 2 half gallon cartons of milk, a bunch of cilantro and a small bag of potatoes and less than a half pound of stew meat.
Just wow!
