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.

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'll get right back to the groceries.

Oh no, grocery prices are this term's infrastructure week.

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.

[–] asqapro@reddthat.com 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I still buy those eggs, the notes they put in are cute.

Weird: this is Safeway, Canada

(For readers, with the USD-CAD conversion they're closer to ~~$5~~ $4)

Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?

Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it's 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.

They're fighting the bird flu

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.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Meanwhile in sweden its $3.50 for 12 pieces cage free and if you get cheap ones its $4 for 24 pieces.

Hate to be that person, but now that they know people are willing to pay it- it’s probably not going to ever go back down.

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.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?

[–] Mayonnaise@lemm.ee 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (26 children)

My understanding is mostly a bird flu but also inflation.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!

Look how well it worked out at the FAA!

They’re $8.75 for 12 at Aldi in CA. Or if you’re a real saver, 60 for under $45!

Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.

[–] Jonnynny@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that's if they aren't sold out due to the shortage.

[–] MistakenBear32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 days ago (4 children)

In Colorado Springs, I'm seeing Eggland's Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth "Kipster Large" eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.

While these prices are certainly high compared to what we're used to, it's definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I'm seeing online.

I can't imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.

They will have security tags in them soon

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

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.

I'm in Denver as well, you can't find regular eggs in stock. The only thing I can find is the cage-free/brown egg stuff. So this price isn't too far off (especially for King Soopers (Kroger). I've seen price tags for as low as $5.50, but never in stock (this was at Trader Joe's).

I go to a local grocery store, end of last year a dozen eggs could be had on special (pretty regularly) for $1. I spent $4.50 for a half-dozen on sale... ($9/dozen). It came with a card that said Jubilant Julie is the bird of the month, LMAO. This was the cheapest option, including sold-out stuff.

My recommendation to OP is stop shopping at King Soopers and Safeway. Shop around, try out Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Target, etc. Or, better yet, find a local grocery store (Brother's Market, Max Market, Clark's Market, Sun Market, Syracuse Market to name a few). Not only will it probably be a better product for the same/less price, but you'll support a local business and you won't have to wait in line for 10+ soul-crushing minutes.
