Has it also been affecting the price of chicken? I know that egg prices were a sticking point from the election so there’s a focus on that, but if it’s an avian flu that’s affecting chickens, would that also cause the price of any chicken product to go up? I feel like I haven’t heard anything around meat prices going up.

    Chicken prices have gone up slightly, but not nearly to the same degree as eggs.

    Edit: for reference, I used to get chicken thighs for $1.29/lbs. and this weekend they were $1.79/lbs.

    CostCo has frozen skinless boneless breasts at $2.80/lbs. for whatever that’s worth. Notable while I was there, but not really germaine to the topic, while red meat prices seem to have also gone up steadily over the years with even 80% lean ground beef costing close to $4-$5/lbs., they had frozen goat cubes for $4.60/lbs. if you bought 15 lbs.
