Can you believe $12.00 per doz. eggs by mid-August?

This was the projection of an agricultural expert who anticipates chicken feed now selling for approx. $60.00 will increase to $400.00 per sack by mid-August. I noticed several huge increases on some grocery items already in early July. Those of us on SS or similar income are facing a real hardship by fall I think.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

@SW-User I agree. I expect some increases have to happen but from three "something" to twelve per dozen is just scary.

Most definitely, eggs are important in our diet. No one will buy them for 12 dollars. I rely on Walmart for the cheapest prices. Aldi is cheaper as well. @Grateful4you

@SW-User I LOVE eggs, Wal-Mart is too far for me, we have a "Grocery Outlet" and Stater Bros. So far, I'm doing okay. I started a food surplus storage two years ago because I knew hard times would hit. It's mostly meat and dairy, produce I'm dependent on.
