How.many of u people here eat eggs ? 🤔 🥚 🍳 🍳

I was watching the news today. 📰
And I have learned that the price of eggs
right now in the US is from 6-8
dollars per dozen. Are you serious ?🙄
I mean I do like eggs, but not that damn much!
I can live without them. 😂
Gee whiz. What do you think about this my fellow SW peeps. Best answer will win. . Got any eggs in your fridge . Scramble mines ok. 🤭 🍳

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.

@Thereyouare That is true. No matter what you get nailed with higher prices.

@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
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
@Thereyouare I agree with you 100%

even at $6 dollars a dozen thats only 50 cents per egg. still a good value. eggs are very nutritious and filling
Penny · 46-50, F
@Thereyouare chickens arent cheap to keep/raise too.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Penny That's expensive.
I could have bought a dozen of eggs from the Dollar Tree a year ago for just $1.
Penny · 46-50, 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.

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’m getting used to understanding availability is no longer the given it used to be.

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?
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@Coralmist Who knows.🙂
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I use them a lot as I don't buy a lot of processed stuff.
It's crazy how much they cost

Zonuss · 46-50, M
@TheWildEcho That's a good investment. You might wanna buy some cows while you are at it. ☺️
TheWildEcho · 61-69, M

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.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@DrWatson I see. Isn't it funny that the Dollar Tree stopped selling eggs. ☺️

Just bought an 18 pak of large eggs at Walmart for 6.18
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. 🙂 LOVE me some fresh eggs!!!
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.

I am happy I got chickens
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@smileylovesgaming Really.🤔
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
@Zonuss oh yes we share the eggs with our neighbors
OverTheHill · 61-69, M
Price gouging!

I still eat eggs regularly.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@OverTheHill I believe this too.
It's a way of saying we paid you those stimulus checks. Now it's time to give us what you owe.
