Increased sausage demand could be worrying signal on the economy
« on: August 31, 2024, 06:55:50 pm »
An uptick in sausage demand can offer the latest sign of consumers tightening their belts as they continue grappling with high prices.

There has been “modest growth” in the dinner sausage category for one producer, according to the Dallas Federal Reserve’s Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey released Monday. This underscores the trends of shoppers opting for cheaper products and pulling back spending all together as cumulative inflation bites into purchasing power.

“This category tends to grow when the economy weakens,” the respondent said, according to edited comments included in the Dallas Fed’s report. That is because “sausage is a good protein substitute for higher-priced proteins and can ‘stretch’ consumers’ food budgets.”

I really hate it when they start advertising things that are part of my staple diet as "cheaper alternatives", because they get harder to find and the price goes up.

I recall in the 60s when WaPo discovered 'hamburger' and it went from 20 cents a pound to nearly a buck...

This is basic economics.  Demand for inferior goods always goes up during economic downturns.  Remember the generic craze back when Jimmy Carter was in office?

Best way to deal with "meat cost" situation, is buy your steaks, pork, etc, when it is a loss leader (ad), have a decent sized freezer and stock up strategically.  At least from my POV, I don't see many uses for sausage outside a gumbo.

Just had original sausage at Southside BBQ in Elgin, Texas.

It is so mouth-watering juicy it will get all over your shirt when you bite in.

Wonderful.

Only good thing about having a lot of wild hogs here too.

Not any more.  They give you smaller chickens and put them in a bag.
