i don't have egg prices in my area. the grocery store simply removed the egg section
For those living close to Canada, I wonder if they can cross the border to go grocery shopping.
Nonono. Remeber to declare when passing into to the Reich to get that 25% added.
I managed to find a dozen for $4.97 yesterday. It's the best I've been able to find in some time.
But let's be honest. 5$ for a dozen eggs is fucking nuts too. They were so much fucking cheaper not all that long ago
… I still remember when eggs were .89 for a dozen. Those were the days.
$5CAD is aboutt $3.50 USD. For jumbo eggs, i would call that aboit right. These are way larger than the "large" eggs most people are used to
Correct. But the eggs I bought were extra-extra-large. If I wanted to get just large or medium I would have paid around 4 or less.
Meanwhile in Trudeau's socialist nightmare, where eggs are under ~~kolkhoz~~ supply management, I pay $5.25 USD... for 18 eggs.
Which is about what I was paying in Chicago back in '22. I remember Roundy's (Mariano's/Kroger's house brand) 18 Large Brown eggs was USD $4.99 before tax.
As an egg-lover, this is quite the fresh hell.
I normally get extra large eggs, but I just got some extra extra large eggs for 5.25$ Canadian. A dozen.
You really hate chickens buttholes dont you?^^
Time to start putting up those trump 'i did this' stickers in supermarkets untill they ban me again.
Why does it feel like I'm reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don't get why anyone cares this much.
I guess it was because the price of eggs was practically a campaigning slogan shared a lot around trump supporters.

Because people are broke and eggs are a cheap source of protein?
*were a cheap source of protein.
It's because eggs are one of the more universal food items. Their price sort of shows how well the economy is doing so it's a nice gauge on that sort of thing.

USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers
No. No they didn't.
They fired people to try to free money for more tax breaks for the top 1% with zero concern if these people were needed or useful.
The less eggs you can afford to buy increases the supply for the people who do not need to worry about the price of eggs.
Close: they are enemies of the United States acting out of malice toward the goal of weakening the United States.
We are under attack.

Thank goodness the Orange turd is right on this in the front lines of tossing paper towels at people!
Clearly the solution is to ban trans people from existing
And as a bonus for banning trans people, they think they'll go to heaven for being good little bigots for god.
