That premium/multiplier is subject to inflation too

Makes sense, if a huge factor is labor cost. And with all the travel restrictions...

That, and greed/opportunism. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Saw it today in CLE....$40 lb

You joking? Should be around $13 not on sale.

Even pre-inflation it was around $28-29/lb. It's absurd - it's good, but not that good. I get it there's only 1 per cow, but c'mon.

Being I am on a fixed income I switched to flank steak, cheaper. It is for steak fajitas so much of a difference noticed.

You mean the greed of those willing to pay such a price for some food that isn't a necessity?

MS is funny money and never counted in my calculations. Like overtime when I was working.

Flank steak comes from the back half of the cow, which is usually sold to non-kosher operations. Most kosher eaters have never had flank steak.

They are always on sale. Not sure when the last time we paid more than that.

If it's not scalable (to at least 15 dozen) it's not a deal.

Font was too small. You know at a certain age...

Also, how much is shipping to Brooklyn?

Kosher chicken is really close to it. Mike's Chicken was closed a few times over the past month because they couldn't get enough chicken.

Someone in my office just told me that at a cousin's wedding last night they served meat because they couldn't get enough chicken.

Isn't that an upgrade?

Yup, a forced one.
