The price of eggs is too damn high!

[HERMET]

I've been on a high protein meal plan for a few weeks now and eggs are a major source of my diet.
Bought eggs last week...$3:25 which I thought was high then.
Today... $4:95 and these aren't fancy free range or organically fed chicken eggs but just plain old store brand butt nuggets.
Up until now I've been kidding about being on the "Too poor to eat diet" but that joke doesn't seem so funny now.

Brother, if you were close by I could give you a dozen or two a week…..

I was paying a local in up the street from me $3 a dozen in Dacula.

If you check around your area you might can find someone who sells them cheaper

We buy Eggland's Best, and they've always been higher, but seem like a superior quality egg.
Wife boiled up 2 dozen to fix deviled eggs for a party last week, can notice the price diff there..
But, the store brand eggs have been closing the price gap since Bidenomics kicked in.

That's kind of you but unfortunately it goes far beyond the eggs. That just happened to be today's rude awakening.

What are you complaining about?? A dozen eggs were $8 just a few short years ago under Dear Leader and his concubine. $3.25 is a gift, you freakin' ungrateful peasant.

At our Walmart 18 is $3.25 unless they went up since last week. That would not surprise me though.

Based on what my wife feeds our chickens (fresh fruit and/or vegetables each morning, high quality chicken feed and freeze dried insect larvae each day), I think the eggs you're buying are a pretty good price. The way I have it figured, if we can average 8 eggs a day out of the 9 chickens that we have, for the next 40 years, we might be able to break even! LOL

Sam’s Club posted a limit 2 on eggs just about 3 weeks ago.

I told my wife something must be up because I didn’t notice any price increases on eggs at that time. That is until just early last week… increase of around $2-3 per dozen all brands now
