You experienced issues because people freaked. Suppliers do not expect that nor have the capacity to predict or respond to panic buying. They keep on producing though and people at home then have too much and so it evens out. Prices sometimes even go down due to oversupply as people are stocked.
People should always be stocked. Who the hell buys toilet paper every week? Buy online, get it delivered, and it is 30% cheaper. Done for a year. Cut out the middle men and you can save money too. People should always think long term, but the economy churns on those who do not.
Gandhi how much is filet migon a pound in your area. You are saying it was US beef. You are lucky my wife bitches at me when I buy filet migon but next to ribeye it’s my favorite cut
I don't know per pound, but in this batch 6 medium sized ones for about 60 bucks. The ribeyes are something like 1.5 to 2 inches thick these days and I can't cook those that thick and think it is too much anyway. The Filet steaks are just right for a serving in my view.
I like Rib Eye too, but an inch is enough for me. But on the whole US produce is here. If it wasn't they would just do more Aussie. No offense to Americans here, but I would really love a Tesco or a Sainsbury's. Costco is kind of basic. Basically decent meat and then an excess of sugar based stuff. Their prices are fair though.
I end up shipping stuff from the UK. Nobody understands gravy here. Talk about food shortages....
