Wings were marked down to $2.59/lb, 2 days out from use by date at Wegman's...were very tasty.
Shrimp not marked down but on sale, tomatoes, pepper, and herbs all homegrown in the garden.

$2.59/lb still historically expensive, can’t believe where chicken wings came from to now. Only in America.

I thought the same thing. I get leg quarters for .69/lb at our local butcher/Italian grocer.

You can thank the Anchor Bar for the over-valuation of wings. Indeed, leg quarters (whole chix legs) are probably the best buy in animal protein and they usually have enough bone material to make a stock, making it an even greater value.

Been getting those lately -99 cents/lb, though it's a lot of skin and bones for a guy who's been buying boneless skinless breasts for more than a decade. Publix typically has frozen 2lb bags of that for 6-7 bucks so pretty good.

I just can't believe how much people are willing to pay for historically poor people food. It's offensive that these "celebrity chefs" make meals with spam and then make you pay for their lifestyle, linen, rent and associated pomp and circumstance overhead. Cloud kitchens can't come fast enough for my tastes. Here's an example of this ridiculousness: https://jctkitchen.com/

Interesting concept. Like having a food truck parked in the alley of your store front.

Agree with both of you, the price of chicken wings is just ridiculous and they just keep going up. The cheapest I see wings right now is at Aldi for $3.19/lb which was $2.99/lb a month or so ago. Quarters have always been a super good hit but chicken across the board is still pretty darn inexpensive and if you know what you're doing in the kitchen you can make some pretty tasty dishes with it. You can still get legs for $.99/lb and do the same things with them as you do wings and they're pretty good, but I will say this, those stupid asz wings rule, they're just really are good every time you have them. I've got a bunch of wings in the freezer which I've bought at half off....I aint no foo'.
Turkey is a good hit at $1.39/lb (Butterball). Just bought a 14 pounder the other day and cooked it up. Spend twenty bucks on wings and they're gone right quick, that turkey you can eat for days. Made the spatzle and gravy too, pretty tough meal to beat...of course, got a big pot of turkey soup now too (which turned out ridiculously good...have given half of it away to neighbors). The wings are my favorite part of the turkey and if you think chicken wings are expensive, check out the price of turkey wings next time you're in the store.

Ten year chart of global poultry prices

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PPOULTUSDM

The one year, like many commodities, is nasty. you can click on 1, 5 10 and max to see different charts above. For the political boards what is striking is the period from 2017 on and the volatility of it.

This second link is pretty interesting as well from the USDA (first is St Louis Fed Reserve - one of the primary research branches of the Fed)
