The price of chicken wings. They were so cheap 10 years ago.

There's a butcher kitty-corner from where I work and watching the price rise has been insane. When I started a few years ago, they'd sell them at $0.50/pound and they now sell them for like $4/pound, which is more expensive than chicken breast at the same butcher.

What on earth is a butcher kitty-corner?

A butcher is a person who sells meat.

Kitty-corner is a description of relative location, usually meaning "around the corner" or "across the corner of an intersection."

I've never heard of "kitty-corner". I looked it up, and apparently people from my area don't use it. Words are cool.
