I used to buy those eggs at the bottom of the picture. They come with a newsletter inside about how the chickens are doing.
The cheap eggs now cost what those eggs used to cost.

Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also *probably* some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.
Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.
Just snapped this pic from our store’s online shopping app.
You are both posting anecdotes, essentially.
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:

I’m sure I could find expensive eggs for engagement bait.
Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.
They're $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don't have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.
Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.
He needs to see the target he want to nuke

I know the prez said he'd drop the price of groceries on day one, but he got a little sidetracked by his side project of destroying the country. But give him a few more weeks to get that done and then I'm sure he's get right back to the groceries.

And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?
Eventually it becomes cheaper to raise chickens.
You should put maga stickers next to the price tag, just to remind the folks :)
People need to start putting trump "I did this" stickers on everything like the magats were on gas pumps.
Good! (Said with a condescending vegan tone.)
Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?
