I was watching the news today. 馃摪
And I have learned that the price of eggs

dollars per dozen. Are you serious ?馃檮
I mean I do like eggs, but not that damn much!
I can live without them. 馃槀

I eat eggs everyday. Fresh eggs from the farm are 10 bucks a flat for 2 1/2 dozen. That being said...flats used to be 3 bucks. It's getting crazy.
ravenwind4351-55, F
@Thereyouare That is true. No matter what you get nailed with higher prices.
Thereyouare56-60, M
@ravenwind43 And right now it seems like it's everything
Our economy is in trouble I'm just not sure how many people realize it
ravenwind4351-55, F
@Thereyouare I agree with you 100%
Penny46-50, F
even at $6 dollars a dozen thats only 50 cents per egg. still a good value. eggs are very nutritious and filling
Penny46-50, F
@Thereyouare chickens arent cheap to keep/raise too.
Zonuss41-45, M
@Penny That's expensive.
I could have bought a dozen of eggs from the [i]Dollar Tree[/i] a year ago for just [b]$1.[/b]
Penny46-50, F
@Zonuss yes, but the way i see it we were just getting them super cheap before. i mean compared to a dollar each for one vegetarian sausage patty its still a good value in my book. anyway, its because of the bird flu. they should go back down eventually.
JustNik51-55, F
I tend to go in phases and right now am not eating as many. I use them in other things though and noticed all of a sudden they got a bit difficult to find here. I鈥檓 getting used to understanding availability is no longer the given it used to be.
Coralmist41-45, F
I do eat eggs, every other day. Omelette usually or as egg and cheese on English muffin. Here they are 4.50 a dozen, roughly. But to go UP??? Yikessss. Is it because there is a bird flu?
Zonuss41-45, M
@Coralmist Who knows.馃檪
Justmeraeagain56-60, F
I use them a lot as I don't buy a lot of processed stuff.
It's crazy how much they cost

This past Sunday, I bought one dozen "cage free" eggs from a grocery store for $4.49.

I don't usually worry about eggs being cage free, but these had the lowest price of the various kinds being sold.
Zonuss41-45, M
@DrWatson I see. Isn't it funny that the [b]Dollar Tree[/b] stopped selling eggs. 鈽猴笍
We eat them. Haven't had to buy them in years though. Gave ours hens away last summer because they quit laying; but, get eggs from friends right now. They are actually incubating some for us and we should have more next month. 馃檪 LOVE me some fresh eggs!!!

I went to Costco in the city yesterday and I鈥檓 single but I have two daughters that come visit me all the time and I didn鈥檛 buy a lot of groceries I thought walked out of there it was 1280 some odd dollars later nuts
SomeMichGuyM
Nope.
$7.59 for two dozen organic eggs just Saturday (21 Jan 2023) here, at Costco.

So about $3.80/doz *organic* eggs.

It's mostly because of the bird flue in chickens. It's spreading nation wide.

Price gouging!

I still eat eggs regularly.
Zonuss41-45, M
@OverTheHill I believe this too.
It's a way of saying we paid you those [b] stimulus [/b] checks. Now it's time to give us what you owe.
