I'm not giving Trump credit by any stretch, but more people are getting into the industry and they're trying to stay competitive, so prices have been lowering. We just bought two dozen last week, should keep us set for a month or two.

Say what you will about the free market, but sometimes, it does work. And prices have been lowering across the board; Ham, chicken, and turkey specifically. Beef is still pretty high, but it's dropped $1.50 a pound in the past few months.

I honestly don't entirely know what's going on to affect the prices these ways, but my monthly grocery bill went from about $400 to $300. So SOMETHING noticeable is happening.
