I made my daughter scrambled eggs for dinner tonight. They cost an eye-watering £0.23 each. I might have to take out a loan.
I'm out in the boonies at the moment and the last market I passed had a 6-pack of eggs for $6.40.
Those kinds of prices demand a fascist coup
Well then, I've got good news for you.
A bit under 5 CAD for a dozen at my usual grocery (29 US cents per egg). Maybe that's why Americans want to invade us.
$3.93 at the nearby No Frills. That converts to about $2.75 USD I think?
I just got back from a trip to California and the first thing I did was order a fried egg sandwich at the Sunset Grill. Oh man, that was sweet bliss! It's good to be home.
Trump already has a reputation for grabbing by the pussy - now he's going straight for the ovaries.
No eggs are safe.
Last I checked my closest store is at $0.65 USD an egg. Shit's getting wild
The only place I've seen prices listed that high in the US is in California.
California apparently has some sort of minimum cage size mandate that a lot of the rest of the US doesn't, so can't pull in eggs from the rest of the US, which apparently contributes to California's problems, since it fragments the US market. Which is probably pretty great if you're an egg producer in California who hasn't been hit by bird flu -- you've got a protected market, and a lot of your competition has been wiped out -- but sucks if you're an egg consumer.

I'm in Seattle everything here is off the charts
You should visit Seattle. Food is somehow even more expensive here than in the Bay Area.
Is it weird that I have no sense of the cost of eggs and my grocery store isn’t empty and no one is freaking out and doing the math per egg?
Is half of the country losing its mind for any good reason? No one remembers Covid while reelecting trump? As RFK jr gets nominated while stating this shit? Are brains getting scrambled? Is the US using pounds? Does no one recognize avian flu while talking about it?
How much can a banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?
Actually a good one.
But seriously… How much can I imagine inflation means? How much can i inflate things with my mind? Ten dollars? 2 dozen? How much does Covid create while I jerk off?
