The price of eggs is too damn high!

Aldi's in Athens about 2.64 a few days ago. Didn't even need any.

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

I agree. We got a small flock. Depending what on the day we get 6-10 eggs a day. My little girl sells them $5 a dozen. We still not breaking even. But she learning how money works.

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.

You need a neighbor who keeps chickens and sleeps late.

Snuffy always carried a sack when he went after a chicken It would probably work for eggs.

I get my eggs from a coworker, $7 for 18. That's about double the cost of Kroger's 18 count. Pre Bidenomics Aldi was under a $1 for a dozen.
