Just bought eggs for the first time in 3 weeks and holy crap. $2 a carton more expensive than last time.

Wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs is on the version of hitting $8, per USDA data.

Costco has them for a lot cheaper (like $3.85 a couple of weeks ago). Also Costco has gone out of their way to make it perfectly clear that they have no intention of abandoning their solid DEI company policies. They pay well too. Cool!

Just bought some in the uk 2 1/2 quid, about 3 bucks. We don’t have bird flu or CDC. I am sorry you don’t have the CDC anymore.

I mean, I remember the UK hoof and mouth disease outbreak from 2001 and the images of fields of burning cow corpses so I’m not sure I’d brag so much about the UK here. This can happen to any country.

Just wait. Inflation is just getting warmed up.

I wish it was just about the eggs. I wish I could think like a trump supporter and be oblivious to it all. Because right now the concern is being replaced with anxiety.

Here in Colorado it took me 3 different stores to find eggs in stock, only got lucky as they were restocking as I walked in the third store. There were four people in line waiting for eggs. Trader Joe’s took down their egg section entirely and put other refrigerated goods in. #trumpflation

Thankfully not that bad here. I went into a Wegman’s at like 7:30 and the fridge was half empty, but not empty.

The prices are way up at Aldi, too, so you know it's bad. Lol

I'm paying $5.39 for a dozen organic brown eggs. Loss leader or are prices legit that much lower in the Mid-Alantic?

reichlinmelnick.bsky.social•2 days ago

So am I, but it was below $4 for the same carton at Wegman's at the start of January.

taschoene.bsky.social•2 days ago

True. I just can't figure how to square that price with $8/doz wholesale in the graph.
