45. It seems to be a regional issue.

My local Kroger had cases full of chicken that they marked down to half price yesterday. Eggs have been pricey and sometimes scarce, but that's partly due to having two hurricanes hit our region, which destroyed a lot of poultry farms that produce eggs. Pork and dairy seem to go in a similar cycle, where they're expensive, and then get marked down due to a glut.
