Since price is based on supply and demand, I would speculate that the price might drop. If people
are afraid to eat beef because of mad cow disease, the supple would rise in relation to the
decreased demand. I would expect the price of chicken and pork to rise instead as they would be
logical alternatives to beef. -

That matches the experience here in Canada after our little incident. Ken. -

subside before we need more.--

They very nearly are $2 a dozen here in Seattle, and that was before the mad cow was
discovered here.Cindy

You got me thinking, Jack. Can't recall ever eating any beef from Washington. But if it's lamb
you want, best you come to Washington. And if you like oysters, crabs and wonderful chicken,
still a good bet.There is a moral here, Jack. If you wind up a falling down drunk, you could wind up in a
processing plant.Merry Christmas.

but our lobster is better than yours. Oysters? Ya gotta enjoy any oyster you can find, even those
warm water ones.Quoted message said:

No problem. Between the spell checker and my poor typing skills, you are sure to see more errors!

I'd change that slightly Blair. The supply issue does not set prices as a rule unless there is truly
a shortage of something. But I've never seen the price come down due to a glut.I think the demand has more of an affect. They know that people are going to be using gasoline for
holidays. - price up. They know people are going to want to cook Prime Rib for Christmas - price up.
They know that people are going to use more propane, natural gas, and heating oil in the winter -
price up. Matters not how much is available it matters how much they think they can gouge before
people "revolt".--

Look at beef futures on the stock market. That should tell you a couple of months where beef prices
are going to go. -

price up.Not at my grocer. Last month bone-in Ribeye steaks were going for $13 per pound. Last week before
Christmas, I saw boneless rib roasts for $9 per pound. Ribeye steaks are generally available year
round. Roasts OTH, are generally available around the holidays. Though I suppose I could ask for a
roast at other times, I have not. And Turkeys have been sold at a discount around Thanksgiving time
for as long as I can remember. It used to be thought that they offered turkeys at a discount to lure
the customer into the store and pay higher prices for other groceries, especially thanksgiving
related, I don't think this is the case any longer.They know

gas seems to go up for a few days before to a few days after the holiday.If many people cooperated and did not buy gas on one selected day, it would cause a large surplus of
gas and the prices would come down. As I understand the economics of this, it does not mean that
people cut down on their driving, it just means that say NO ONE buys gas on a Saturday, make sure
earlier in the week that the gas you have will get you through Saturday and you can buy gas again on
Sunday if necessary. This is called planning ahead a little. A very effective way of forcing the
price of gas to come down. But very difficult to coordinate.Happy Holidays, meatgrinder
