Tar and feathering politicians would make me feel better about the whole situation.

Buy less stuff and focus on the best deals.

Even Safeway, which is normally a rip-off in our small town, has some good deals. We bought a roast at Christmas that was priced like hamburger is now, and was as good as Prime Rib at decent restaurants. It fed 20 people with lots of leftovers! We just bought some Sirloin steaks for $3.70/lb. which again is hamburger pricing.

If you are willing to freeze meat, there are good deals out there at times. I think the supply chain hiccups cause surges in supply as well as shortages, so retailers get stuck with dated meat and push it out the door while it is still in date.

The big problem is having enough resources (money and storage capacity) to buy and hold the bargains. Some people don't like meat that has been frozen, but the way things are going, they won't be able to afford to be that picky!

Safeway has 7 to 8oz packs of Tillamook cheese for 83 cents. Limit 2.
