For $6.99 per pound I can get beef Ribeye steaks at Stater Brothers, which are great to barbecue with friends, Stater Brothers has the best deals around on beef. They also have New York strip steaks, and T Bone steaks, etc, with the Ribeye steaks, but I like the Ribeye steaks the best.
Bambu, you are paying way too much for chicken, Australia needs to allow in some immigrants from the Philippines and let the Filipinos help Australia to grow and raise food. You need for food to be cheap and abundant, like here in California. Our secret is that the immigrants come here from all over the world, including from the Philippines, and the immigrants help to grow and raise food here.
We also have lots of stores, and the stores compete against each other so that helps to bring the prices down. And the stores and restaurants send us coupons to attract us to their stores and restaurants. If you shop for bargains, and if you use coupons, then you can save money.
Also, maybe you can lower food prices in Australia by expanding trade with Colombia and with the rest of South America, and Colombia is where the best coffee comes from.
I hope your food prices come down, it is important to have good food to eat. The prices rose here, but then the prices came back down because of competition, etc, and thanks to products from Mexico, etc. We also produce local food, we have avocados and oranges and grapes and onions, and garlic, and everything else growing in California, and California makes cheese, etc. And Nevada raises lots of beef. We also have the Pacific Ocean for seafood.
Of note, Gordon Smith of Oregon is a billionaire from selling frozen vegetables, people from all over the world picked vegetables for Gordon Smith and they made him rich, while he provided frozen vegetables for people.
Salute,
Tony V.
