Good to hear!

I've been avoiding certain packing concerns for quite a while, but had to go with a big name during scarcity of pork.

Won't buy it again: tough, dry, and just not worth the price. Things are looking up again, we'll see what develops.

Went to Aldi this morning - for the first time in weeks, they had at least 3 cuts each of Chicken, and pork, and plenty of packages of them. Beef was a little more limited today, mostly ground beef, but plenty of it, including grass fed.

Costco seems pretty limited right now but I'm not seeing issues at Trader Joe's, although they do limit you to 2 packages of any one type.

I'm just hoping chicken breasts stay available for my kitty with health issues.
