Just a few months ago I was buying my beloved NY striploins on sale at $6 each. Now they're in the $10 a lb range. A $5 pack of extra lean ground beef back then is now about the same, about ten bucks. Those large 'bulk' packs that used to be in the $18-$20 range are now closer to $30.
I can still get 1kg of smoked thick-cut bacon (2.2 lbs) for around $10 bucks, but that's a sale price. The regular price has gone way up on that as well.
Good thing I have a good-size freezer and thought to buy a lot of stuff back when the price was sane. I have several pounds of fish, a turkey, couple of roasts, steaks, chickens, ribs, sausages, an entire pork tenderloin. I'm good for a while yet. When I see any of it on sale now that's when I buy.
I'm also looking at buying direct from a local meat producer. All quality-controlled non-injected at wholesale prices. Time to cut out the middleman.
