Did some grocery shopping today and wondering about the same thing...

ground beef: $5 to $7 a pound [$7 is regular price for conventional at Kroger now]

boneless skinless chicken breast: $2.50 to $6 a pound or more [$2.50 is cheap family pack at Kroger]

boneless skinless chicken thighs: $4 to $6 a pound

bone in skin on legs and thighs: $2 to $4 a pound

pork chops: $4 to $7 a pound

I saw a BOGO for bacon today- regular price $9/get on free...um I swear the regular price used to be around $5.

And eggs all kinds seem to be at $3 a dozen or more.

buy a chest freezer and stock up on whatever meat you like when it's on sale

will hold more than enough to last you until the next sale

Around here pork is still really cheap.

At least where I shop the price increases (from largest increases to smallest) are:

Fish went up the most overall
Chicken went up the most in terms of ratio of initial price to current
Beef went up but is oftentimes on sale so it's not terrible..
Pork almost no change for me.

Been eating more pork products lately lol.

Ground beef goes on sale for $2.50-$3/lb every month or so

When it's on sale, just stock up until you don't have any more freezer space

That must be a problem with your specific costco. Their chicken is fine to me. Not greasy, actually kinda dry.

When I'm lazy I buy a couple of them pick all the meat off, put them in bags to freeze for later. Then when I'm ready to eat it I just throw it in a pan with some eggs and rice.

Another tip he can follow is to ask the. Butcher when they plan to have sales on their meat. Usually if meat doesn't get sold, the day or so before it "expires" they mark it as much as 50% off.

Winco and Aldi.

Protein powder used to get on Amazon from Ultimate Nutrition. 2lbs for $20 which was good until they doubled it. $40 for 2lbs and $80 for 4lb tub of theirs.

Glad I stocked up on that.

You probably live in a high COL area brah.

Chicken breast here is $2.50/lb

Ground chuck 80/20 goes on sale for $3/lb quite often.

Eggs and milks have gotten expensive as fak though. ~$3/dozen. Used to be <$1.50. Milk is ~$4.20/gal, used to be ~$2.70.
