Even though you paid a small fortune this year for your Corned Beef, HAPPY St. Patrick’s Day
Today’s post is by Ronald D Southard, Chairman and CEO at SafeSourcing Inc.
The theme of our posts for the next few days, follows the idea that the retail and wholesale prices we are seeing on about everything are unrealistic and exceedingly high. That includes the favorite ingredient in your St. Patrick’s Day dinner, Corned Beef. While you are paying too much at the checkout, many vendors are posting record profits while raising prices and buyers have had enough. One well known Chicago area butcher has seen his cost go up 67.7% year over year for Corned Beef. It is certainly no fun for him to quote these increases to his customers and it is no fun for consumers looking forward to an enjoyable holiday meal to have to foot these increases.
At any rate, at SafeSourcing our primary business objective is to keep costs down for our customers. Our pricing has not changed nor has our approach. Give us your best price and we will find you better pricing and or alternative sources that may operate at better margins.
