Funny how the meat prices tracked up with the rising cost of fuel. People had surcharges and delivery price increases due to oil being $$$$ per barrel. Lots of things have not tracked back down with the cost of fuel.

Sort of like. A barrel of oil goes up this morning and pump prices go up at the same time. Prices drop and it takes a week for the 'savings' to trickle down to the pump. Seems like a lot of profit in that week delay.

A little off topic but I agree, meat prices are higher than camel cock. Even the cheaper cuts are high. We have smoked briskets for 40 years. Brisket has always been a not so popular cut, never been real costly. Now every freakin' cooking show on TV is smoking briskets and now you may as well buy a rib eye, or even a filet. Costs right out of the ying yang. EWO
