Stopped by Restaurant Depot yesterday (Raleigh, NC) and the beef and pork selection was pretty sparse, but had a few of the staples.
Brisket was $7.07/LB for choice and $7.17/LB for select (I may have that backwards). That’s more than double what I typically saw there pre-pandemic.
Bone-in Boston butts were $2.24/LB, about a dollar or so higher than normal.
I assume supply chain issues and restaurant closures are influencing prices greatly. But my local grocery chains are competitive with those brisket prices and beat those Boston butt prices everyday.
I’m not familiar with RD’s poultry prices. The seafood prices were good.
