Here there are few eggs, and especially not the good ones.
My local Wal-Mart was selling 18ct. Large eggs for $8.82 on Sunday.
Same
Costco price has always been lowest and remains low.
Must be a loss leader.
If that was the case, why wouldn’t they lower the price, until people bought them? Eggs have a limited shelf life.
UNTIL THE 159 MILLION LAYING hens get replaced, there isn’t much else to buy.
The flu isn’t taking out the birds, the government is. They falsify a PCR test and then tell the farmer they have to destroy the whole flock because of “infection.”
It’s covid act II directed at our food supply.
Actually, eggs have a long shelf life. Much longer than any source of protein (except salt fish, or salt pork).
The sell-by date is artificial.
I buy a dozen per week for $4 from a coworker. She has so many she’ll bring in a couple dozen every week to get rid of. All pasture raised and they are delicious.
I bought a half dozen from the supermarket a month ago when I ran out, I paid $6 for them! Ridiculous!
go in backyard, open chicken coop and grab some eggs.
I found one store near me that marks them down considerably (about 1/2 price) a week before expiration date. I was recently reading about pickling eggs so I picked up a few dozen to try it. They were pasture raised, but I go them for cheaper than the store brand standard eggs.
I don’t want to brag like I’m rich or something, but I did have 4 eggs for breakfast today.
Every so often a really great guy I used to work with brings a dozen eggs over.
He has a small farm and I’m in the burbs.
Excellent eggs.
And all flocks in a certain mile radius as well.
We have chickens for our own private use and I know quite a few people who sell C seeds casually. A few disciple packs a week. Odd but none of us have had a single bird come down with the "so wide spread" virus and our chickens are not only cage free but free range. If it was traveling through other wild birds we should be losing chickens. And we aren't.
Except to raccoons and hawks. We lose chickens to them.
Fricking trash pandas.
That probably cost more than the ribeye.
And part of the plan to transform America into a Marxist banana republic.
My local QFC/Kroger store had plenty going for $10/doz - same egg brand that was $1.98/doz before.
The box of 60 at Walmart in Chicago is $28.96, not 38 dollars.
