Sorry, but you made me laugh. I just ordered these stickers from Amazon with trumps face and him pointing upwards and it says 'I did that'!!! I'm going to put them in the grocery store egg section whenever I go and I'm sure I will eventually expand to other food products like bread and bacon.
I haven't bought eggs since maybe October. For someone who loves to bake, it's been difficult. Even if I wanted to cheat and use a box cake or brownie mix, I still need at least one egg for that.
I bought pasture-raised, certified humane eggs at Aldi for 6.19 a dozen last week. That's not much more than I usually pay for them. I won't buy anything else.
Every egg in our state has to be produced cage free and they are over 8 bux a dozen.
All animal husbandry is inhumane. No matter what. I'd get that out of your head as a qualifier. We are at the top of the food chain because we ignore those addlepated notions.
They are the best. Theyare 5.50. Ill buy cage free if I have to. I can use those for baking but when I’m having eggs, they have to be pasture raised. Almost as good as the ones my neighbor gave me from a friend’s farm with dirt still on them. Amazing taste.
Doesn’t tell me much 😓 Just wanted to compare the prices with my country. Your price is comparable to cat. 4 and 3 eggs in Poland which are respectively caged & deep litter hens farming. Free range and organic are like 0,25+ usd per egg here
My son, who lives in Denver, just texted that his Costco was entirely out of eggs - that hasn't happened before! Eventually, I'm afraid, we won't get eggs at any price, for awhile 😐
The trick is not going on a Sunday. They told me they don’t get a refrigerated shipment. I waited til Tuesday morning and they had tons. Ask him if he went on a Sunday.
My husband is on Keto. My 36 year old son was down for the weekend with the wife and 17 month old. He went out surfing in 43 degree weather and came back freezing. We might have gone through 18 eggs, 3 avocados, ham slices, 2 cups of cheese, 4 types of breads, and 14 cups of coffee this morning.
Seems like that, doesn't it? When did we ever think that eggs would be so expensive that some people wouldn't be able to afford them? Coffee, yes. I remember when I was much younger and coffee prices skyrocketed and my mom switched all of us to T.
limit.. 4 eggs per week. the government ordered over half the chickens killed last fall. to orevent birdflu killing humans.. in 2023. birdflu killed 10 humans worldwide.. in 2024. bird flu killed 3 humans worldwide.
Unless they take the necessary precautions, avian flu can get to Amish chickens, too 😉 If the flock encounters the droppings of infected birds, it can be infected.
Yep. They're keeping a close eye on things. The chickens are kept in a roost for the most part, but wild birds can get in if they try. With all of the Amish Dairy Farms up here, they are really vigilant. And the state comes in on a regular basis testing since all of their products are organic.

We made bacon and egg biscuits. They are golden. We felt like we won the lottery. Was afraid to drop an egg on accident. 😂. Don’t want to waste any for sure
We won't have to worry much longer with RFK in charge of DHHS. Bird flu doesn't play around, and it's spreading with the resources fighting it *now*, let alone once he guts the dept and puts his idiotic ideas as policy.
SW Missouri here, I just bought two dozen eggs instead of my normal carton of 18 because of the geniuses at my local store had the dozen priced less than half of the carton of 18! 24 for over a dollar less than 18. 🥴
We have it here, but with supply chain management, it means that we avoid price spikes. We have slightly higher prices by a couple of cents throughout the year.
It also means farmers know how much to produce and what prices to expect when they sell their eggs.
It is great for affordability. 🇨🇦
I dropped an egg on the floor and instead of me cleaning it up with a rag and soap I took a spatula and scooped it up and threw it in the frying pan dog hair dirt and all.
Is that…wise? With that bird flu going around, I’m kind of afraid to touch our eggs. You know the ones that have to be refrigerated because they are so diseased from inhumane living conditions they have to be washed first.
To understand how insanely expensive Eggs have become. My city lives with a low standard of living. But eggs even in my small town, population of less than 9000 or so people. Cost 6.30$ USD for only 12??? Not including tax may I mind you.
yes James. I will take my "omelette du'fromage" on the Lanai this morning.
please keep the "wretched refuse yearning to be free" screams to a minimum.
that'll be all James
Gratitude is a spiritual practice that heals yourself and the collective. 😊 One thing to come out of this mess may be more tendencies to be grateful for simple things.
I eat eggs every morning sometimes for dinner. It has gotten more expensive but still cheaper than most meats. Luckily a friend has been helping me out with elk meat.
We went to Canada to see the falls on their side. That’s it. Want to go to Ireland. Just never made it. Been to a lot of states but not HI, AK or PNW or North eastern states.
Not if they are not over crowded. I wouldn’t have them in the house but I really enjoy them. I have only had chickens about a year. I clean the coop every Saturday and that is plenty. Plus I enjoy gardening and they make plenty of compost
That’s great had my main garden dug up last spring to replace a sewer line so I lost all the topsoil I spent years spreading compost on. It’s back to mostly red clay
My son, who came down to breakfast after his sister, wanted to know what I had made her for breakfast. I told him she asked for peanut butter toast and scrambled eggs, because "she's bougie." LOL! 🤣
I like the potato idea someone else in comments mentioned. Maybe this dystopian hellscape will break our children (and ourselves rlly) from sugar addiction😝✌🏾
I have 6 chickens and they’re old and it’s very cold and snowy here in N Michigan, but one of my hens has been laying an egg every other day for the last 6-7 weeks. Kind of unusual but I thank her and somehow she knew it would be a kind gesture🐓
Sooooo the reason Egg prices have gone up is because Bird Flu has been ravaging farms. The agencies that we need to support are Agriculture and Fish & Wildlife. Bird Flu has shown transferable to cows, so don't drink RAW MILK. Avoid giving pets eggs and if you have any flu symptoms stay home.
Bird Flu has not shown to easily transfer from people to people. However the risk of it merging with the regular Flu is possible, so if you have symptoms quarantine is a must. And if you have symptoms avoid others with symptoms as well. Pasteurized eggs & milk are safe, but the price rise.
This is something that will effect prices regardless of who's in charge. Domesticated Animals & Pets have show susceptibility so watch your pets & take them to the vet if they show symptoms.
I bought 3 Egg Beaters a couple of weeks ago, it was the same price of eggs but a much longer expiration date. They have already doubled in value. Great investment! I’m thinking about making a nice big quiche later.
the egg thing is a big reason why each nation wants its own agriculture sector and pays for structural preferences for it - similarly i expect geothermal energy to really grow as its tech improves, so that nations can have heat and electricity without depending on petroleum from foreign nations
We wanted to go with geothermal when we built our house. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible. We're as close to net zero as we can be. Our place is plumbed for solar (YYC is very sunny).
Most people do not understand that most of what makes life modern comes from oil. Let's not burn it.
right - i am thinking geothermal like fervo or eavor or other firms which are aiming for grid-level electricity, or industrial heating - iirc most new condo buildings in toronto now are including geothermal heating systems (alas, many older won't be retrofitted)
I used to work at a place where the geese would terrorize you during your walk from the parking lot.
We’d sit at a window at lunch and watch the carnage

I felt guilty and decadent.
I do hate to admit I'm an American though. It's embarrassing.

They're amazing.
Eggs in muffins, eggs in crêpes, eggs for French toasts, omelet, soufflé, etc.
Canada has bird flu, too.
It’s not the bird flu.
It’s greed.
Greed is not good.
Greed is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.
It also crossed my mind that it may be my last meal since the eggs are poached. I was ok with that.
We have avian flu here, but our government are doing a much better job of containment
And we are not feeding chicken waste to cattle*
* We made the unsafe cattle feed mistake in the past and are not repeating it
ps, no shortages
It might be a matter of time and we will get nailed by the bird flu
It also means farmers know how much to produce and what prices to expect when they sell their eggs.

I’m a student and I need good source of proteins for affordable prices…
Can you recommend me something?

Oh... I have to laugh or I cry 🤣😅😭
We have chickens. 😊
The bacon used to be expensive part of breakfast for dinner. :(

But I have chickens. And fed my left overs to my dog.
Billionaire Breakfast In Bed.
3 boxes of thin mints for a dozen eggs.
The thin mints seem to have ⅓ fewer calories this year due to having ⅓ fewer cookies.
🤔, I wonder if I should have asked for 4 boxes?
Except, of course, the implicit threat of invasion.
Release the Canada geese!

Schnitzel was a force to be reckoned with.

I used to live in LA. Peacocks were the major threat.
I mean, you are. And we're all envying you right now, but still...😂
I love Blueberries.
