Meat. Chicken thighs used to be 99 cents / lb and ground beef was $2.99 but I’d wait for it to go on sale for $1.99. This was in 2020.
The silver lining is that the price hikes have resulted in eating far less meat. I eat around 1 lb per week of fish, chicken, or turkey (rarely red meat) whereas I used to eat probably half a lb or more daily.
Thankfully chicken is still low for me (used to be .69 cents a lb on sale, now .99) but holy hell, ground beef is like unobtainable anymore. They want nearly $6 a lb for the 70% ground beef and I just can’t ever justify it. We’ve mainly just been living on chicken, and pork when there are good sales, but yeah lots of meatless meals.
Ground beef prices are wild. I’ve been finding occasional good sales on ground turkey, sometimes even $1.99/lb. I use it as a substitute for ground beef in tacos and such, and it works well enough.
