Easter will be interesting.......................
Buy them at Costco, still cheap.
Just last week in PA I saw $5.00 per dozen for Eggs at Wegman’s. And these were plain large eggs.
Inflation is now 400%!
IEEEEEEEEE!
I have definitely cut down on venison from none to completely zero.
It doesn’t help that millions of people coming across the border want eggs too.
We sell fresh eggs at $5 per dozen and we usually sell out every day.
50 lb bag of scratch is up to $25
I have had people (even on FR) tell me this is not true and that they are buying eggs for .99 a dozen. So obviously, this is mis-information.
Seriously, do people not realize how the cost of basic ingredients effects the cost of everything? It’s not just about the retail cost of your dozen of eggs. How many food products require eggs? A lot! Yes, in some cases you can use substitutes and there are chemically created ones available that are used commercially, but still with the price of ALL basic products still going up, the price of groceries will continue to rise. Also, restaurants buy dozens of eggs per day. So, they have to keep raising their prices.
People cannot take much more inflation and maintain their current lifestyle. Soon you will see stories on the increase of bankruptcy filings. People will not be able to both eat and pay their mortgage.
I've gone back to my Rhode Island Reds. Dual purpose breed for eggs and meat. Good mothering hens if you let them sit on a clutch for replacement birds every two years.
Gates has the same plan for cattle and hogs. Heck we might have to figure out alternative water sources. He's got plans like that black serum in Prometheus. Remember, Hollywood script writers know what's really going on.
I have ten ducks: Blue Swedish, Khaki Campbell, and various Indian Runners. They have be laying so many eggs that we eat our fill and even sell a few dozen for $5/dozen each week.
Ducks lay more eggs than chickens, are hardier animals, and the eggs are larger and packed full of nutrition. They lay about one egg per day per duck. We get 8-10 per day.
But, ducks are messier to keep than chickens.
I eat 2 dozen eggs a week...
The Consumer Price Index — a closely watched inflation gauge — rose 7.1% in December from the previous year. Falling prices for energy, commodities and used cars offset increases in food and shelter.
Ah, yes, the price of gas is only up 50% instead of 100%, similar to the price of used cars. Some "good news."
Absolutely insane.
I remember when a dozen was $1.08 and the 18-pack was about $1.49.
I used to spend about $0.50 more and buy Eggland's Best brand because I thought they were superior and they cracked easier but not anymore.
I'm buying almost everything store-brand these days.
Biden expects Americans to lay their own eggs
No eggs on my plate for a while now. Oatmeal is a better bargain, budget is unable to say Yes to hen’s fruit.
Pisses me off.
Take your heart medicine with you. Wife sent me to get eggs from the local supermarket. $5.09 for a dozen large eggs, and these were store brand, not some fancy range free eggs.
Meant cage free eggs.
