So what's the meat situation like in your area?

North Jersey, everything’s available. Prices slightly higher than a couple of months ago. The hamburger is coming in larger (3lb+) restaurant vacuum-packs as well as in the usual small white plastic trays.

Hmmm...Thanks. Maybe they're holding down prices in greater NYC Metro area in sympathy for all the dead...?

Plenty on the hoof. Skinny in the stores. All butcher shops booked up for months. No freezers available.

We got notice a little over a week ago to change our packaging and thickness of cuts. Kinda like they do with potato chips and cereal , packaging less weight, because of increase in prices per pound.
Example , instead of reg cut of grilling steaks being 1- 11/4 in, they’re now 1/2-3/4 in.
So.... also the pork and chicken we get in is frozen rock solid. Takes a day of it sitting unrefridgerated to even halfway thaw to cut it. Would explain the weird coloring of some meats aswell. If you cut it partially frozen it doesn’t bloom out well. You can’t scrape the bone dust off either.

Could be, or it could be our location close to a bunch of slaughterhouses, economy of scale and all that.

Tell you one thing, it’s no fun sitting hear at the pointy tip of the Covid19 spear, that’s for certain.

Where are you?

Meat was never low here and never was there a time I could not find the meats I wanted! only thing I seen sold out was YEAST White Flour and in the start of this shit the eggs were always low but still able to get no problem!

All Hype!

All you guys saying no shortage, are you paying attention that all cuts and brands are there, because they're getting good at hiding it, they start to do a "spread" of what foods they do have.

I'm going to be a lot of shortages by Sunday afternoon, at least around here, Publix themselves told me having trouble getting it in. I noticed a few days ago, and got the standard line truck hasn't come in yet.

But yesterday got a guy who was willing to spill the beans, and told me having big trouble with pork and chicken, and haven't been able to get ground sirloin in days.

Also, been missing lots of Birdseye products, the peas that I wanted I guess two cases came in, but those were two cases over the area, and the guy told me that he don't know which store they went to LOL, okay, like musical chairs.

I’m in southeastern Virginia.Probably a half dozen steaks tops at my local grocery store.Canned goods section has looked scarce for weeks.Seen the frozen foods aisles damn near empty on a number of occasions.Brought home more than a few rotten pizzas as well as dairy products.Can’t imagine how things look at the discount grocery stores where such discounted sub par product are usually peddled.Wendy’s still missing a good third of a menu.
