Here's Krogers ad for today. Chicken drumsticks and thighs are still $0.99. a pound. Chips are up 50 cents.

These meat prices are crazy. They must have hefty subsidies in the US.

Unfortunately we do. Tens of billions of dollars. Same with corn, which is why virtually every single food product has high fructose corn syrup as one of the top ingredients

The ad for my store is bit more expensive. I can't remember the last time we had apple or pork shoulder prices under a dollar per pound. I'm in northern Indiana for what it's worth.
