No, this is objective, not a “story”. At this time these are the actual prices for the eggs at my location at a store with historically higher prices. I qualified my assertion with facts. If you want, I will dig up more egg prices to create an unscientific average to prove that egg prices are not insane here. However, OP has offered no qualifications for the store or the farm. That’s a “story” left up to the reader to infer all egg prices are high in Denver.

As a matter of fact, here you go:

Local ShopRite:

I’m sure I could find expensive eggs for engagement bait.

I get that, but regional egg prices aren't directly comparable without adjusting for the cost of living. I could prove eggs in my area cost a dollar but that gives you no info unless I say they used to cost 10 cents.

I'm not admonishing you, just saying you are both right basically

I live outside a major metropolitan city for context in what many would view as an “expensive State.” CoL is not cheap.

That said, your second choice of “regional” is far more apropos than “anecdotal.”
