I heard that the egg prices are out of control due to bird flu and greed. How did this situation impact the chicken meat prices?

It’s hard to google local prices actual people pay in other countries for commodity goods like chicken and bread :/

    You can go to grocery store sites and set your location to a specific store, and look up items.

    Anyway I looked it up at my local Walmart (Arizona, US) and boneless breasts are $2.69 a lb, boneless skinless thighs, 3.49, and wings, $1.19 a lb. Ten lbs of chicken leg quarters, $6.50. So it doesn’t seem to have gone up a lot.

      Unfortunately many US grocery stores geo block the EU :/

      Probably because of privacy laws? I guess I could use a VPN but asking here was easier / more fun.

        Oh, I see. Just an idea. I was wondering if maybe they’d block or redirect you.

      These prices are confusing. The first two are about the same for me but somehow your wings are nearly a third the price.

        The prices vary based on how much usable meat there is in the cut vs. bones, and how much work went into cutting it. Wings are mainly bones for instance. It can also be how fast it sells, so the risk the packages will spoil before they’re sold and what quantities they order or produce it in.
