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.
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."
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.
It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?
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.
It's a dozen eggs, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?
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.
In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.

Let's Go Trump!
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.
So, I guess no.... Denver omelet? Sorry I'll leave.
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.
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.
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.
Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
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.
They will have security tags in them soon
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.
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
Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.
It'll be even more soon...
new innovation in capitalism! 4-pack of eggs. costs what a dozen used to
They're $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don't have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!
In Australia they're not available at all. This is at Woolworths supermarket:
I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They're sitting on bird gold.
Looks like I need to fly out to Denver to save some money on eggs.
Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden
Good! (Said with a condescending vegan tone.)
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.
$4 a dozen in Kentucky.
Eggs are now 33$ in Denver guys!!
Na... Just kidding... We don't do click bait here. And eggs aren't really 10$ a dozen most anywhere.
Today, I paid $7.79 for a dozen, extra large, white, store brand eggs here in New Jersey.
12.99 at my tourist town in CA
I brought some yesterday for 3 dollars
Wow, translated to NZD that is that is like $19.50. Current egg prices here are $5 for size 6 and around $6.50 for size 7.
Your chickens need to support their weed habit somehow...
I am afraid to ask the price of the Vital Farms eggs.
PS: $6.49 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Chicken shit.
