An Irish woman was left in shock after seeing the price of two chicken fillets during a late-night shop this week.
The woman explained that she was doing her weekly grocery shop in Tesco on Tuesday evening when she noticed that the meat "shelves were barren.". She managed to spot a two-pack of Moy Park chicken breasts and was putting them in her trolley when she "nearly died" at the price.
She told the Irish Mirror: "I know the world is fully aware of the rising cost of inflation but I had to share the below photograph" to show "the reality of what we are experiencing."

"I was doing my weekly food shop in Tesco tonight," she continued. "The shelves that typically house the chicken breasts were completely barren, with the exception of a packet of 2X chicken breasts from Moy Park (0.405 g).
"I nearly died when I saw the price, €12.33 per pack, equivalent to €30.45 per kilo. Absolute madness. Organic or not, surely this cannot be real pricing for a simple and relatively small chicken fillet."
She went on to say: "They still manage to sell their junk, processed food at rock bottom prices- surely a lot of those junk producers are impacted by the same inflationary influences?"
Tesco Ireland has been contacted by the Irish Mirror for more information.
