>What's with spam price inflation?
How much have you noticed it has gone up recently?
>Did processing costs really get inflated so much?
Could have to do with supply and demand, consumers are changing their shopping habits, switching to store brands and cheaper alternatives to fresh meat like Spam, which caused the price to inflate further.

I have no idea. I've noticed if you buy it in individual cans its about $5 a can, but if you buy it in bulk (8-12 cans in a pack) its much cheaper at about $2.70 a can which is pretty much what it used to be off the shelf.

Price has 2.5x risen. Chicken drumsticks are comparable, but dammit I've been hankering for that spam taste

it's considered a luxury good in Korea, and many people looking for cheap food have realized it's one of the better things you can get in a can
I will let you in a on a secret: great value "luncheon meat" is the same thing for half the price

If ultra-processed dogfood-like ham is "one of the better things you can get in a can", that's not saying much.

spam is pork shoulder, not ham
it's very fatty and as result very tender and flavorful, but not as healthy as ground beef
compared to stuff like canned tuna or sardines (which are also starting to increase in price for the same reasons as spam) it's typically much better

I stand corrected. I am also a hypocrite because I bought a few cans of spam for prepping.
