Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about "Biden's high eggs prices" just last month. Haven't heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it's just "God's will."

It's a dozen eggs, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?

Bird flu sucks. Too bad the CDC can't warn us about it though.

Conservatives: Thanks Obama!

Wonder how long this has to keep up for more products to start becoming accidentally vegan due to having to avoid eggs as they're too volatile.

I can't believe buying chickens actually saved me money, I just did it because I wanted chickens. I expected to pay more per egg (considering food and litter) because I don't have economies of scale like the large producers do.

In hawaii we cant get eggs at all for the past week or two-- or even those milk carton pints of liquid eggs. I was told at the foodland today to come at 5am tomorrow when the doors open and theres always just a few boxes. So.. I guess I get up at 430 tomorrow. Then elbow the old ladies -- or whatever I need to do to get to the eggs first.

They are mean and have canes but they can't take a punch and I can run to the egg aisle first.

Let's Go Trump!

Thanks, Obama!

It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?

So, I guess no.... Denver omelet? Sorry I'll leave.

Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.

Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden

I just paid like $11 for 18 in the bay area and I thought that was bad. Good thing Trump has a concept of a plan to take care of us soon tho.

Wow. I saw people mentioning this on another thread and I posted that we can get 15 Medium Free Range Eggs in the UK for $3.37. Could find cheaper than that if I shopped around.

In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.

£3.15($3.90) at Tesco in the UK btw

Wouldn't it be great if this was the impetus for people going back to raising animals and growing some of their food for themselves? Almost everyone has room for a garden, even if it's just a window sill for some fresh herbs. And raising even some of your own food can save you a ton of money.

Or you can take advantage of the rising egg prices to sell them for $9.99/dozen to your neighbors, whatever. Be the neighborhood eggpin. Lead your own fowl empire to dominance over the local Whole Foods.

Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.

I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...

Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..

Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.

No taxes on food here, although Amazon Fresh has a delivery charge.

I imagine the huge disparity of prices is that culling due to bird flu must be regional and our chickens must not be infected yet

They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?

As long as MAGA doesn't blame Trump or the corporations directly then those corporations will continue to raise prices because higher profits are in their best interest.

But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!

Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.

Shame about that flu thing innit

It'll be even more soon...

$4-6/doz in NC.
