In Part 1 eelgrass asked about what’s going on in Department/Grocery stores.
Part 2 is a question about the consumer…….
I was looking at the price of steaks at one of our grocery stores, not Walmart. I was looking at the ribeyes. They were priced at $15.99 per pound. Too much for my budget today. I shifted over a step and pick up another package and looked at the price, $5.99. I took a closer look at the steak, and thought mmmmm, that looks like a ribeye (albeit, a very lean one) but WTH does that label say? I’m trying to get chuck something or other out of it…….. but can’t make sense of anything it abbreviated name is. I’m thinking, “what is this thing, it sure looks like ribeye to me.” I figure, WTH, I buy it and look it up on the computer when I get home, if it’s something nasty I’ll make stew out of it.
As I go to leave I look down and there are a dozen more of them in the display cooler.
I get home, take a picture of the label and toss it in the fridge. This afternoon I set down, type the label name into google and I notice it’s says “Chick” not “Chuck” so I type it in “CHICK BRST BNLS SKNLS SP and up comes “Raw Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Portions split (pieces/trim) ”
Its obviously miss labeled as a chicken breast. So here’s the question:
1. Do I return it and tell the store it’s miss labeled, and get a refund?
2. Eat it and keep my mouth shut?
3. Go back and buy all of the others? $4.43 ribeyes would make a he!! of a 4th of July party, while America Is Dying.
