lymanMeat Prices are Clearly Up, is Quality Down?

I have not changed brands, and my brands have not kept pricing by shrinking size, and flavor and freshness are still fine.
Has anyone else noticed quality issues?
you may not have changed brands, however the folks you buy it from may have changed suppliers,
on the burger, is it ground in house, (then the butchers have gotten sloppy on the trim, )?

jimmy123xI don't buy much ground beef. But, Publix and many other grocery stores will grind up a steak if you ask them. Sometimes at Publix you can get chuck or a round steak for less than comparable ground beef and pick out the cut/fat content you want.

flesheatingvirusI've been getting woody chicken breasts from Costco. NOPE.
I keep an eye out for chuck roast on sale at Smiths and then grind my own ground beef.
