Wholesale pork prices are up slightly but nothing crazy. And it helps pork base price is so low. Chicken prices are actually down big because of cheap wholesale wing prices. Prices for rest of the chicken parts are flat to slightly down.
I was expecting higher beef prices with the supply disruption but not this high. And I still don't understand how USDA Select is higher price than USDA Choice. I've seen it happen before but rarely and it's usually only couple cents difference. It's $2 /lb difference for the Eye of the round with lower grade being higher price. Very strange.
Prices at grocery stores like Kroger and Publix are still normal. I track Costco Business Center prices because that's more reflective of the wholesale and restaurant market.
