$10 for a dozen eggs in CA right now

I'm not allowed in the grocery store. I go ape shit if I go in. I don't care about the price. Wife banned me. I'll go in for an $8 item and leave with $150 worth of stuff. I watch too many cooking/bbq/grilling videos. I make it, but if I see something that triggers a recipe I'm like fuck it, I'm getting it.

They had probably just started working on making those viruses more infectious.

Or they're using high cycle PCR to find one molecule of the virus. Setting the stage. . . .

Here in Virginia, I just bought one of those 60 pack boxes at Walmart NM for about $20.

At costco you get similar deals, not quite as cheap. This was a regional supermarket. I don't mind paying fitty cents or a bit more for a good regional egg. A buck is prob getting a bit excessive

i raise my own, costs me about 3.50 a dozen. not money saver, but eggs are delicious. in summer when they all go laying nonstop eggs here go down to 1.59 a dozen. but my cost stays higher since i buy feed.

i do enjoy raising them. no meat birds.

$4 at Trader Joes, but you have to get there early because they always sell out pretty quickly each day, before noon for sure.

I'm impressed with TJ, because they could get more money, but don't. Maybe the idea is that people will tell each other about the cheap eggs and they'll get more business overall.

I agree with you on prices. But it's a shit show when I go to my most local TJ. Not a joke there's 100 people in there. Every register is open. It's chaos. I'll spend double to not deal with that stuff if being honest. Time is money and happiness. Chasing the little deals and the stress of a crowded store is not my jam.

I can go to my local Jewel (Albertsons to most of you) and get in and out. No crowded isles. No lines. So I pay $20 more at checkout, that's worth it to me. And they still have stuff on sale as well that would beat TJ or have products I want that aren't sold there. TJ saves money by having a smaller footprint real estate wise, at least around here. Just makes the shopping experience awful. It's like buying a 2 person tent, but having 5 people in there. F that.

Gotta have chicken neighbors. We still have to buy eggs, but our neighbor will just give us his overflow for free. So we probably average out to $2 per 18 count when factoring in the free eggs. Retail is $7.49 where I'm at.

Could probably go to local farmers and get it for $3/dozen. Probably should look into it more. Oldest is going into beast mode and wants more protein. 3 eggs and 6 pancakes every morning (eye roll). Rail thin. He's got my wife's bat shit crazy mentality. Sports, band, jazz band, camps, etc. Kid burns me out.

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.
