Inflation hit's Tyson just like it does every other American. They pay more for labor. For property. For fuel. For feed. For distribution costs. For electricity.
It's a good thing that Tyson isn't on a fixed income like a lot of us!
I'm still buying boneless/skinless chicken breasts for $3.99 a pound, along with 85/15 ground chuck for $3.99 a pound.
That's up about $1 per pound respectively, since the Cadaver In Chief was installed.
That's a 33% rise in prices -- only when I buy it on sale. Otherwise, it's up nearly 75%.
To most, chicken and ground beef are still affordable. But the reality is that both ARE more expensive since the Lieden Administration came into being.
It started in 2018. And the tariff war affected the whole eBike market at that time in addition, with prices increasing 30%. I was paying close attention back then and was tracking it.
But the point remains: Inflation started before 2021, tariffs in 2017/2018 increased prices and affected supply chains for different types of products, and, in regards to the title of this thread, the current "chicken price gouging" actually started before 2018.
Nope. I moved from Idaho to TN in mid '21. In both places, boneless, skinless chicken breasts were $1.99 a pound, had been that way in Idaho for many years. Was the same here in TN until late last year when they quickly jumped to $2.99 a pound and haven't budged.
Bidenomics. Actually across the board inflation, as we all know. Highest inflation in 4 decades under the current "administration".
I buy the groceries at my house. This past week I bought beef chuck roast for 2.97/lb, a whole fresh fryer chicken for 1.79/lb, chicken leg quarters/ 0.87/lb, country style pork ribs 1.37/lb, etc.
Veggies: brown onions 3lbs/0.99, roma tomatoes 2lbs/1.00, bananas 2lbs/1.00, carrots 0.77/lb, etc.
For 150.00, my spouse and I can eat fresh, healthy, nutritious meals for 2 weeks.
I don’t know what you bought, but beer, liquor and cigarettes don’t count as groceries.
I find it hard to believe. It seems you don’t know how to shop and/or cook.
To be honest, groceries prices are going down.
The gasoline however it’s taking too long to go down. They’re gouging.
Again, prices vary depending on where you live in the US. I saw much of this on my FB canning group as posters from all over the country and internationally would post the amount they paid for items. Those are not reflective of the prices I pay. And no grocery prices are not going down. I grocery shop a couple times a week (not booze and smokes) and nearly EVERY SINGLE WEEK prices have increased on many items. I am a frugal shopper and generally buy what is on sale often buying multiples (meat and veggies) and canning them.

Yep, that is the prices I see now and what they were a few years ago. If you wait and watch you can sometimes get chicken breasts and/or thighs for 1.99 or cheaper but usually it has been frozen.
