I look at the meat prices here in Australia, shelves and shelves of it, with no one looking, and when I see the prices I know why.
Even the low value meat - sausages and rissoles - are up there.

Chicken prices are still affordable, but on the up and up.

Eating healthy (vegetables) and saving money. What is not to like?
