Wonder how long this has to keep up for more products to start becoming accidentally vegan due to having to avoid eggs as they're too volatile.

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.

Nu-uh Fox and friends said it was DEI and wokeness causing eggs prices to soar.

I know it is fun to think about getting back at these people but it doesn't really work. They were never rational to begin with.

It's a dozen eggs, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?

Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden

Bird flu sucks. Too bad the CDC can't warn us about it though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I just paid like $11 for 18 in the bay area and I thought that was bad. Good thing Trump has a concept of a plan to take care of us soon tho.

That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.

Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.

Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.

I know the prez said he'd drop the price of groceries on day one, but he got a little sidetracked by his side project of destroying the country. But give him a few more weeks to get that done and then I'm sure he'll get right back to the groceries.

In hawaii we cant get eggs at all for the past week or two-- or even those milk carton pints of liquid eggs. I was told at the foodland today to come at 5am tomorrow when the doors open and theres always just a few boxes. So.. I guess I get up at 430 tomorrow. Then elbow the old ladies -- or whatever I need to do to get to the eggs first.

They are mean and have canes but they can't take a punch and I can run to the egg aisle first.

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.

Thanks, Obama!

So, I guess no.... Denver omelet? Sorry I'll leave.

I used to buy those eggs at the bottom of the picture. They come with a newsletter inside about how the chickens are doing.

The cheap eggs now cost what those eggs used to cost.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I still buy those eggs, the notes they put in are cute.

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.

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.

As long as MAGA doesn't blame Trump or the corporations directly then those corporations will continue to raise prices because higher profits are in their best interest.

Shame about that flu thing innit

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
