Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
A grassroots effort is asking American consumers to refrain from making purchases at major retailers for one day in February.
You're viewing a single thread.
The call to action — or rather inaction — is asking that American consumers refrain from making any purchases at major retailers on Friday, February 28. The protest comes as people continue to endure rising prices on everything from food and gas to housing and utilities, epitomized by the soaring cost of eggs which in January averaged $4.95 a dozen.
literally can't afford anything in the stores?
let's call it a boycott and pretend it's our choice.
2.5 dozen = $20.39
$20.39÷30= $0.68 per egg.
The discount bulk store brand is still $8.16 per dozen where I am.
Yeah idk where that number is coming from. I spent $8+ for a dozen the other days. It’s ridiculous.
They're using early January numbers instead of late January or early February.
So it doubled in a month. Fun times, yall.
