You didn't mention meat. In Australia good beef has gone from about $30/kg up to anywhere from $45 to $60 and higher.

Chicken used to be cheap. Not anymore.

Lamb is now basically a rich person's food. Good luck buying quality lamb.

Our supermarkets now have rfid chips on expensive cuts of meat, as they're so expensive. $18 a steak. RFID that thing.

I don't eat meat as a part of my diet, so I don't bother keeping track of those prices, nor is it relevant to my food budget per month. My comment was just to detail my experience.

I'm in Canada, we grow beef locally and I'm paying that price for good steak. The other week I was grabbing protein for dinner, and beef was not much more than chicken which blew my mind.

bird flu was the reason for chicken prices rising so rapidly

they're talking about broccoli and tofu. I doubt they care much about meat.
