The one money move this week
Call your Broadline Foods rep about the chicken thigh price
Chicken thighs went from $1.92 to $2.38 a pound this week (+24%). Across the 128 lb you bought, that's about $59 โ and $120-$180 over the next two weeks if it holds.
What to ask on the call
- โPull up the June 30 invoice - the line is "BNLS CHIX THIGH 40LB" at $2.38/lb.
- โAsk: is this a market move, or did our negotiated price lapse?
- โIf it's the market: ask when they expect it to ease, and ask for a 4-week fixed price so it can't creep further.
- โIf it's your pricing: ask them to honor $1.92 or match Crosstown Provisions at $2.19/lb - mention you're pricing the order out.
- โAsk for whatever they agree to in writing on the next invoice, not just on the phone.
