With the meat you get full measure on the weight. What Andrea is seeing
is "shrink-flation". Smaller package for the same old price. It's really
bad in coffee. I used to buy 3 pound cans of ground coffee. It's gotten
so bad that the standard container has less than 2 pounds and for more
money. Just looked and their "big" container is only 26.7 oz. And the
small (used to be 16 oz) container is nlt 11 oz.  FEH!

I likes chicken livers. I'll sometimes stop at Humphrey's and pick up
8 ounces of "ready to eat" livers and a pit container of canteloupe
pieces. Makes a nice lunch.

But I likes me liver & onions, too. 'Specially when it's got bacon in
the mix.
