Pork Belly Prices...
-
Chef $27.00 for 5lbs right now here for Cloverdale bacon, that’s on sale. That is down from $38.00 a month ago. When US foods took over Cash and Carry they raised prices on everything. We complained, it went in one ear and out the other and then they found out when their warehouse supplier got shutdown for a COVID outbreak for two weeks and people found other sources for product with cheaper prices, now their tune has changed.
johnsbrewhouse you know, if it was the farmers and small processors getting the money, I would think differently. It is the greedy large processor that are benefiting from this market. People who sit back on their chairs, do no work, and reap the profits.
Really this is throughout all production. The small guy can’t get a break, and the larger guys just get richer.
NOW THIS is not a suggestion of socialism, but rather as consumers, we need to support the small guy. Sure, it may be a few cents higher, but at least it is good business practices.
Buy local, buy small business, and help our neighbors thrive.

We have to start a new saying: Not everything is better with bacon! so people stop buying it and the price can go down. Reverse supply and demand!
Dr_Pain That’s why I pulled a full belly from the freezer on Tuesday to thaw. It’s my rainy day fund when I got them cheap, have another belly and a half left for more rainy days.

kyle same here. I just left COSTCO and bellies are about 40 cents a pound cheaper than my last visit. Their name brand bacon actually went up about 10 cents a pound. At one time their bacon was less than the bellies.

HerbcoFood I’m looking forward to checking it out, not sure the wallet is tho. I tend to go overboard when shopping at a place like that

Man, I have a Sams club memebership. I guess I should consider a Costco one
-
Dr_Pain You should, plus the cash back is also nice.
-
Dr_Pain I have both. I like Sams better for most items we buy, but I picked up a COSTCO membership last year at a half price special. For us, if I had to chose I’d stay with Sams, but both are nice. I have the Plus with Sams and get cash back there. I only have the basic a Costco because they are a lot further away.

Dr_Pain thats all I use now. I even started it pre-covid, but liked it even more now that I can skip the lines.

My local Sam’s is about as clean as a dirty Wal-Mart, it’s also a pain in the butt to get to.

HerbcoFood that would turn me away. Sounds like a management issue.

GWG8541 For sure, haven’t been back in 5 years actually, my Costco is much easier to get to, they have the few things we buy in bulk.

My local grocery has Duroc half bellies for $4.99/lb. At that sort of pricing I just stick to Wright Brand bacon from Sam’s Club which is WAY better than the Costco bacon.
