buy a freaking chicken and have all you want for next to nothing.
Buy eggs from people who have chickens. Stop funding Big Ag, go local
Uh... Have you seen chicken feed prices lately? It’s not..... chicken feed.
And then just like that, CBS discovered high prices.
Sen Kennedy’s talk about liking Omelettes leaves leftists Shell-shocked.
Stick a fork in ‘em, they’re poached.
no, I haven’t had chickens in decades, but it used to be really really cheap
I’m not scrambling. I’m easily over it.
What about grass-feeding?
The only eggs I buy are the pickled ones at Costco and a bottle lasts me a long time ,LOL
They get in my wife’s garden.
Eggs-actly.
My cat would love it if I raised a chicken in my apartment. :}
I buy pasture-raised eggs. Don’t mind paying $6.50 a dozen. My usual store was out of eggs yesterday, so I went to Trader Joe and got a dozen grade A pasture raised eggs for $4.95. Well worth it.
I’d never buy “cage free” eggs, horribly cruel conditions for hens. Plus, they feed them stuff that isn’t as good as the bugs and worms and other stuff pasture-raised hens eat on the grass. One freeper mentioned that he’s seen his hens eat a lizard. Yum.
Yeah, just like that.
Trump’s fault. He brought on the bird flu.
Clearly the US is on the verge of collapsing. We’re doomed. (After all, since Zeepers say similar price hikes on potatoes in Russia certify immanent total collapse.)
I have a box of 60 eggs, I’m going to lightly scramble them, separate them into portions of 3 scrambled eggs and let them cool in the fridge in open sandwich bags, and then seal each bag, and put them all into a large freezer bag in the freezer.
