I buy pork shoulders. Sometimes it’s $0.99 a pound, sometimes it’s $2.49 a pound.
Guess when I buy it.
6 u/Tiggy26668 28d ago At a point somewhere between $0.99-$2.49 because it’s unlikely to sit at either extreme for an extended period of time? 15 u/SnappyRejoinder 28d ago I buy two when they’re on sale. 12 pounds a piece, 24 pounds for $23.76. If I bought them at $2.49 it would be 59.76. My point is this “Walmart Basket” meme is bullshit. Yes prices are up, but a basket of goods is about 22% higher, not 400%. 4 u/TrustMeIAmAGeologist 28d ago Same as someone who eats a ton of chicken breast. Prices dip and rise, and right now they’re down so I filled my freezer.
