minus-squaremakingStuffForFun@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoYou didn’t mention meat. In Australia good beef has gone from about $30/kg up to anywhere from $45 to $60 and higher. Chicken used to be cheap. Not anymore. Lamb is now basically a rich person’s food. Good luck buying quality lamb. Our supermarkets now have rfid chips on expensive cuts of meat, as they’re so expensive. $18 a steak. RFID that thing.
