Meat!

With all the bad news about inflation going on right now, especially regarding food and energy prices, there is some good news out there.





The price of meat is going down. Way down.





In fact, last week I picked up some 85% lean hamburger meat for $1.65/pound. I also picked up boneless, skinless chicken breasts at $1.88/pound.





This week in my Albertsons circular they are advertising USDA Choice Top Sirloin or Petite Sirloin steaks at $2.99/lb. Roast beef is only $6.99/lb. These prices have to be about 30% lower than they were a few months ago!





Are you ready for the horrible reason why these prices are going down? The herds are being culled. Feed and grain has gotten so expensive that many ranchers are killing off a big portion of their herds to save money. This has created a temporary glut of meat in the marketplace. Therefore prices are going down!





It is time to go to your local grocery store and stock up! Fill your freezer to the brim with as much as you can now, because in a few months the glut will be over and prices are going to rise in a dramatic fashion.





A typical frost free refrigerator can keep meat fresh for about 6 months. A deep freezer can keep meat fresh for years. I recommend you try to estimate how much meat you will eat during the next 6 months to a year and go out and purchase it now!





Likewise, look to milk, eggs and other dairy products to keep going up (hens and dairy cows are getting slaughtered, too).
