Looks like Roblaw’s at it again… robbing the working class to keep obscene profits rolling to the Parasite Class. And I bet the farmer who raised those turkeys get only a few dollars per.

    I love the one comment on the article calling $82 normal

    About $9 a kilo,$4 a pound, yes that’s about right. Lately chicken has been $11 a kilo.

      In Germany good quality meat costs about 25 EUR per kilogram. Everything under 10 EUR per kilo is considered low quality.

        This seems normal for western Europe. Meat prices will range from roughly 4 to 55 euros per kilo, ranging fro shitty chicken to prime beef cuts.

        i wouldn’t say it’s low quality, just not luxury meat.

        like ground pork is perfectly fine, it’s basically the definition of the concept of meat, it’s just that a beef steak is pretty fancy.

      That’s a normal price for semi-decent chicken.

      Here, the price for a normal, decent chicken is 22 to 26 euros. It gets you a bird that has lived a normal life, has been outside most of its life, hasn’t been injected with weird shit, has eaten normally and has led a regular chicken life. That’s if you buy direct from the producer though (through the many ways to get stuff directly). Otherwise, you can possibly double the price.
