posted by RotinajDidn’t we have a thread back in the day about a traveling meat salesman or selling meat out of a van or some shit? I can’t really remember the details.
I think I started that one....may have advanced beyond my story but that guy was a 5 star dickhead lol
Grocery stores around me (all 8 of them within a 10 min walk) have been stocked with plenty of meat.

Good. We’ll see how they are in 3 weeks
We have two shops that we buying from for years, both have agreed to put aside our regular orders plus we double those orders. Steaks, Burger, Pork, Ribs, Roast, Hot Dogs, Brats, Mild Sauage we should be stocked up good by the end of this week. I'm not a fan of frozen hamburgers but it is what it is for now.
Just went to Costco. They had a ton of beef products and sausage but no packaged chicken. Got 6 pounds of ground beef just in case. Still no fucking toilet paper though...

I’m sure it’ll be fine.

As long as I'm personally restocked for a month or two in three weeks, all will be well! I mean, for me, which is the only thing that matters.

Sure it will too but stupid people will be being stupid about meat similar to the way they were with tp.

Although you literally can survive without meat, I imagine a meat shortage would cause actual riots. Would not want to be working at McD's when they run out of Big Mac's....

Better than in the 90’s when they ran out of beanie babies...lord
Gas shortage in ’73 / ’74 ……..who remembers?
Local Wendy's is out of hamburger.
posted by BRFYes, they are a bit pricey, but worth it to me. We got 8 10 oz. of the Butcher’s Cut which came to $37 a pound. We just checked and their prices have gone up since we ordered about 3 weeks ago. We got $16 back through Rakuten.
At certain times they do some deals.
I was skeptical. My wife got it for me as a gift a number of years ago, and then each year thereafter because yeah, they were extremely good. I was surprised, no doubt about that.
They now send different deals in the mail. Last one I got I think was for $15 off an order of like 60 or more.
Was able to get a decent amount of meat at Meijer Saturday morning, and they had a decent selection.
We got a half cow and 40lbs of chicken breast before this all started. we’re ok for awhile.
Grilled some 8 oz. Omaha Steaks filet mignons last night. They were fantastic.
Starting to see this in the suburbs of Chicago. The grocers are getting less supply and limiting customers to 1 or 2 lbs (depending on the meat) of anything. They also are running out in early afternoons.
Last week, I stocked up with no troubles. Store had a "only 3 of each", but didn't specify size, so I just got three of the largest of whatever I wanted, so I'm good for another month or more. Went mid-morning, so if there is Laley's issue with running out early where I'm at, I didn't have to experience that, at least.

Does anyone by chance order frozen lobster tails from anywhere?

I went on Sunday morning and they had plenty, but the butcher said almost all they had was out, very little in the back as the deliveries had been only about 75% capacity since Friday.
He said they ran out at 3:30 Friday and Saturday and expected the same moving forward. Not really worried since I go to the store early. But limiting the amount I could get kinda sucked because I’ll have to go twice a week now if we want certain meals.
So far, so good here. I went yesterday, 3 hour total trip, but the meats were plentiful.
