I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don't eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.

With cooking and baking, 12+ per week. Which is about USD 5.60 for the XL bio eggs from the farm shop.

Luckily, I am not in the US.

I mostly use them for baking. I will probably just switch to substitutes going forward. I can live without eggs.

Corporate farming better get its shit together or consumers are going to learn to live without.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

How many do you use in a week? I can't think of enough baking for it to make a huge difference in my life. Going from $2 to $4 per dozen costs me an extra dollar per week.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

[–] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago

i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.

Eggs are not that expensive in Sweden, but in all honesty I don't really eat that many eggs in a week. Maybe if we use it as an ingredient, or maybe I'm having a boiled egg as a healthy snack, but I think most weeks it would be 0.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.

Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can eat up to a dozen boiled eggs a day if I'm particularly craving them. They're my fave source of protein!

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

A fourth of the way to Cool hand Luke.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

I have like four every six months.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (6 children)

It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that's eight eggs in one meal.

I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that's why they are talked about.

Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.

And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.

Me, 10-18. 2 per work day for egg Sammy. Then weekends depend on omelets and other meals depending on recipe. 10 minimum tho. Brother has 1 more chicken than his family eats eggs so if anything I buy less eggs than most households per month.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Varies a lot. Sometimes weeks can go by without me eating a single egg. But when I start, I go hard. It's not unheard of that I go through an entire carton as a late night snack with boiled eggs.
