I suggest we include sales on meats as part of this thread. I picked up a couple pork shoulders from Meijer last week, I think they were $1.49/lb. I just got home from Meijer again and looked at the brisket, I can't for the life of me understand why brisket costs as much as it does. Then again, cows are apparently being fed truffles and champagne these days as expensive as beef is in general. I can't pay $50 for a small flat, that's just insane.
