Wouldn't it be great if this was the impetus for people going back to raising animals and growing some of their food for themselves? Almost everyone has room for a garden, even if it's just a window sill for some fresh herbs. And raising even some of your own food can save you a ton of money.
Or you can take advantage of the rising egg prices to sell them for $9.99/dozen to your neighbors, whatever. Be the neighborhood eggpin. Lead your own fowl empire to dominance over the local Whole Foods.
But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!
I can't believe buying chickens actually saved me money, I just did it because I wanted chickens. I expected to pay more per egg (considering food and litter) because I don't have economies of scale like the large producers do.
Conservatives: Thanks Obama!
Your welcome!
Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about "Biden's high eggs prices" just last month. Haven't heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it's just "God's will."
Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.
Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
$4-6/doz in NC.
It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?
Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..
Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.
No taxes on food here, although Amazon Fresh has a delivery charge.
I imagine the huge disparity of prices is that culling due to bird flu must be regional and our chickens must not be infected yet
I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...
Sorry to disappoint, i'm not from Denver. I stole the image from reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/FluentInFinance/comments/1ibgmua/today_in_denver_1099_for_one_dozen_eggs_eggs_used/
In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.

I was wondering why they were the only option, figured they were just the ones not hit by bird flu
Wow. I saw people mentioning this on another thread and I posted that we can get 15 Medium Free Range Eggs in the UK for $3.37. Could find cheaper than that if I shopped around.
It'll be even more soon...
Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.
