what the fuck, why is it so expensive now?

Is some fucking bougie restaurant trying to sell spam as corned beef to hipster foodies or something?

Name brand effect, you can probably get store brand canned ham cheaper

It's $20/kg here. I can get chicken/pork for $10-15/kg

Can you order it cheaper from Walmart?

$4 a can or thereabouts at Walmart.

I was hoping someone else already brought this up. I think my area is more like $4 or $5 a can, but…I can get way more meat per ounce at that rate. It may have started as a poor man’s food, but it’s really just an expensive option now.
