What gets me is when people report the price of eggs in their grocery store. They always report the cheapest they saw them there.
So when I say I saw eggs for $11.99 for a dozen eggs. I'm talking about a dozen Sunnyville Extra Large Jumbo Brown eggs, my personal fave.
There are eggs cost twice that or 1/4 of that. Depending on what you get. I'm judging my economics on the fact, that my preferred dozen eggs used to cost me $1.99 a dozen before the commies started killing birds.

You’re saying there are places selling eggs for over $20/dozen?

Patrick says

I paid $9 for extra large 18 eggs at Walmart Front Beach Rd today.

If they are they live in a shit hole. I'm $5.50-6/dozen. I can get 18 count for $6.49.

That does not include getting them from local farmers for $2-3/dozen or have a neighbor with chickens and get them for free. Stop living in suburbs and cities.

I recently pod $8.49 for 18.

This is why I live in rural areas. My neighbor thread might seem like bitching, and it is, but it's exponentially better than suburbs or cities.

Point being is I can get stuff for waaaaaay cheaper. There's signs everywhere for eggs and honey and it's dirt cheap. No shipping factored in and I can get eggs at 90% less than retail. I can drive 4 minutes to a farm, where when I live in the city or suburbs it would take 15-20 minutes to travel the same distance. F that and all the damn stop lights.

What you think they are giving eggs from organic bug fed chickens away?

i remember in CA they had this store called Whole Foods. it was for very wealthy people. house wife’s and trophy wives shopped there, who would buy 3oz of organic natural humanly raised chicken for $5, things like that. prices there were very high. i can see how $20 eggs would work there.

We have Whole Foods in Virginia as well. I remember going to a Whole Foods in Va Beach with friend and we noticed lots of older women patrons who had kept their looks. My friend said these were rich men's wives that knew they could be "traded in" if not careful.

I paid $9.99 for 3 cartons of a dozen. That's about $1.25 more than it's been lately at HEB. Just large brown free range eggs. Not the no-soy version. All of the better brands were gone from the shelves. I've been eating at least 3/day since I started remote work when covid hit so I go through them pretty quickly.

Over the last year, I have noticed that fresh firm shell eggs that break nice and the egg whites are still clear go for the highest premium.
When you see eggs from $3.99 to $5.99 a dozen, they are usually eggs with shells so fragile, thin and weak, that you crack them by taking them out of the carton, and the egg whites are cloudy looking and the germ in the yolk has darkened to a blood color and is firm.

You pay out the ass for a dozen of fresh eggs.

Eggs were sold out at Trader Joes for the last few months unless you got there early.

But a few days ago, I noticed lots of eggs there in the late afternoon. So the shortage seems to be ending.

That's wild. We've had no shortage ever here in IL with eggs. Wife does the grocery shopping because 2 items becomes 20 and $150 more with me. We consume what I buy but it pisses her off.

Got 12 pork chops for $6 yesterday. 2-3 meals for $2/nt ain't bad for 5 people. Then got some pre-seasoned taco meat buy one get one for $4. Easy taco meal when the wife travels for work.

We have low beer prices, but I might start a beer price thread. I don't do hard liquor, but travel a lot and have a rough idea. Would be interested to see prices in different locations based on brand and quantity. $15.99 for a 30 pack of Busch in Northern IL. Used to be $10.99 before Biden. And yes, Busch gets a bad rap but it's actually not a bad beer.

Down here in SoFla ironically domestic beer is like $18 for a 12 pack and $22 for a 18 pack.
But I can buy Becks and St Paully Girl at the corner store for $12.99 a 12 pack. Damn wookie it sounds like beer is cheap where you are.
But I'm not a Bush fan. I'm not a fan of most domestic beers, since we started flash fermenting our beer in the 90's.
I used to believe that all America needed was one beer, and that beer was Budweiser. I didn't understand all of the beer snobbery.
It's as if some shitty America hating Liberal fucked up our beer, and introduced flash fermenting, just so the beer snobs could be right.

In WNY the cheapest quality beer is Molson Golden - 24 12-oz bottles for $21.59. Cans and 11.5 oz cases are cheaper. Lots of $8 per case rebates, but these are only good for a case or two per offer.

High Life is maybe $5 cheaper per case, but when you compare the % alcohol (3% vs. > 5% for Molson) then it's a wash.

The “catch,” according to Humptedy-CNN, was that falling omelet prices had nothing at all to do with Trump. Of course. It was pure coincidence that he promised to bring egg prices down, focused the entire government on the problem of consumer costs, and ordered the CDC to stop culling chickens like psychotic bird executioners in a psychedelic slasher movie.

Grocers were delighted. “I think the story is over on eggs right now. We got plenty of eggs coming in,” said Stew Leonard, Jr., owner of the Stew Leonard’s grocery store chain in the northeast. “We’re back to low-price eggs again,” Stew happily concluded.

That’s not all! Three days ago, WSYR-TV ran a story headlined, “National gas price average nearly 40 cents lower than last year.” Boom. Think of it: gas is now forty cents lower than last year when Joe Biden was draining the strategic petroleum reserve faster than a 22-year old rugby player at a frathouse kegger.

Here in Florida, gas just broke through $3 a gallon. USA Today quietly reported the story late last week. “State gas prices,” the paper reported, “declined last week and reached an average of $2.94 per gallon of regular fuel on Monday.”

And as I’ve told you all along — gas prices affect the price of everything. Lower fuel costs mean lower food costs, lower shipping costs, and lower inflation across the board.

It hasn’t even been 100 days. And despite every hysterical prediction from the Democrats, the globalist parasite class, and their captive media, the future is looking bright.

It is to an extent. Prices have doubled over the last decade though. I think FL has a higher sales tax on alcohol. When I fly down there I'll legit check 2-3 bags with beer because it's so expensive in FL. Saves me $60-100 instead of buying it down there. One of the benefits of bags flying free and having 3 kids.
