The Extraordinary cost of Corned beef

130g packets of corned beef cost £3-00 in the local Sainsbury. In my youth corned beef was a cheap substitute for 'proper' meat; now it's about the same price as fillet steak!!!

Yes I've been noticing that too, each time I've looked at the cold meats section over the last couple of years.

The supermarkets have become greedy: I remember how far the price of meat fell after the 2008/2009 crash, and it was more than 50% from the previous highs. Now I guess we are about double the 2007-ish prices.
