Wait how expensive are eggs in the USA? In Germany I pay 3.50 Euros (3.65$) for a dozen organic eggs. Make that 2.20 for non-organic not free-range

I was at the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

$8.99 for 12 in California

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The average dozen is about 3 USD

2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month

So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month

The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.

That's the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.
