And the price of feeding chickens has risen the same. So unless you need a lot of eggs and the extra labor it is about the same price as buying them from the store.
We buy eggs from Kroger. This year they have fluctuated from $5.49/18 eggs down to $2.99/18 eggs. The price moves up and down depending on Krogers sales.
Lower fuel costs will bring down delivery costs for our food and should initiate some of our costs coming down before December.
imo
Tell me how “inflation is down” when eggs are $4-5 per dozen...
Its insane anyone ever thought Kamala could win
Everything is more expensive
I’m getting stronger as I get older. I can now lift $100 worth of groceries with one hand.
We keep a flock of chickens at our house, between 12-20. We lose one here and there to a coyotes or foxes. I don’t know why more people don’t keep chickens. They’re very easy to care for. We track and weigh the eggs we get by color and size. We’ve collected over 10,000 eggs since we started. They are so delicious too, way better than store-bought. I have 3 boys and they eat a ton of eggs. My oldest probably ate 3 a day throughout high school. As a football, wrestling and rugby player this was great protein.
Know before you go.
$4/dozen at HEB over the weekend here in Central Texas.
I stocked up on Cadbury eggs after Easter, so I’m all set.
I’ve been getting farm fresh eggs since last Spring along with my neighbor. She met the farmer’s wife at the market a year ago, and so now we both get our eggs from this nice family.
Since their eggs are so much better and fresher than what I can get at the grocery store, we have offered to pay the same as the store’s price. They are thrilled because they lost some customers when they had to raise their prices.
So starting in December we are going to pay $6/dozen. We hope that will help them make ends meet. I love having fresh eggs like this. The quality is far superior, and I like being able to help a small family business stay on its feet.
