Avis And Protein -- November 2, 2021

Avis earnings. You have to look at Avis -- it will blow your socks off.  Shares doubled today. Was even higher before it pulled back. Avis sold for less than $7 during the year of the plague (2020); today, selling at $400.

I will leave you with this, the link sent to me by a reader.

Protein

Store-bought rotisserie chicken:

• $4.99 - $8.99 per chicken

Chicken:

• 2020: $1.13 / lb
• 2021: $1.80 / lb

Salmon:

• least expensive price I can find at local grocers: $9.99 / lb; sometime on sale, down to $6.99 / lb

Retail ground beef:

• around $4.50 / lb but varies widely

Brisket:

• around $4.50 / lb but varies widely

Turkey:

• locally, today, Target, Butterball: 99 cents / lb

Turkey, major grocery chains, 2020, last Thanksgiving:

• Albertsons: 89 cents / lb
• Aldi: as low as 69 cents / lb for Shady Brook frozen young turkeys
• Costco: 99 cents / lb (that was last year)
• Kroger: 37 cents / lb; as low as 29 cents / lb for frozen, whole Kroger Tender & Juicy young turkeys
• Sam's Club: $1.19 / lb
• Target, Butterball: 99 cents / lb
• Trader Joe's: $1.99 for Trader Joe's brands; $2.99 for kosher, store brand
• Walmart: 98 cents / lb Butterball, or as low as 68 cents / lb for other brands

I'm going to be home alone for Thanksgiving but at 69 cents / lb for protein -- Kroger -- I'm going to cook a turkey and then freeze in small, individual packages. This is almost a no-brainer.
