Post how much you paid for eggs today


Big fan of this as a daily eater of eggs.


Egg prices have fallen sharply so far in March on some progress in ending a shortage, giving consumers some much-needed relief with the supermarket staple.

The cost of white large shell eggs declined to $6.85 per dozen, on average, last week, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That represents a decline of $1.20 per dozen, and a 15% pull back the USDA’s prior update on Feb. 28.

You assume these people are logical. They'll continue to make excuses for him and remain in denial that they were duped. And many do not even care if their lives are worse as long as they believe someone with their same bass-ackward bigoted ideas is in power. And you have to remember, most of his base is living paycheck to paycheck anyway and always have been. Their life is a permanent recession. They don't have the wherewithal to comprehend the big picture of what is going on with the world. It is the perfect real-world example of Plato's allegory of the cave.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

For many months, the price of eggs in the United States has been rising and rising due to a shortage of eggs. Now the United States has turned to Denmark to alleviate the egg shortage.

Jørgen Nyberg Larsen, sector manager of the Danish Eggs industry organization, tells this to Fødevarewatch , and he confirms it to TV 2.

- We have been asked if we could deliver some eggs, and we are happy to state it in dozen, he says.
 

Eggs Are So Expensive People Are Smuggling Them In From Mexico​

The contraband is yet another sign of how far consumers will go to battle soaring prices​


“The 64 pounds of meth stuffed into the seats and spare tire of a pickup truck caught the attention of border agents in El Paso, Texas, who seized the drugs last month. But it was the trays of eggs that really alarmed them.

As egg prices soar in the U.S., travelers have been stocking up on cheaper supplies in Mexico and, to some degree, Canada.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture bans such imports because eggs not inspected through official channels can spread disease. …”

Probably because it is bullshit. I can't find a dozen of no name, store brand... for less than $5.00 in my area (KY).

Yeah. Aldi is generally the cheapest around here, and their price for a dozen is a whole hell of a lot closer to $6 than $5.
 
The difference seems to be that Trump is citing wholesale prices (which have not filtered down yet).

“… Wholesale egg prices, which is what retailers pay to procure eggs, have fallen to a national average of just over $4 for a dozen large white eggs, down from a peak of more than $8 at the end of February, according to data from the Agriculture Department released last week.

But because eggs typically have a four-week shelf life, it may be the end of March before retail prices start to drop, said Jeremy Horpedahl, an associate professor of economics at University of Central Arkansas. Some stores, he added, may not lower prices until their current inventory sells out.

Economists said that the decline in wholesale prices, which are still above long-term averages, was very likely fueled by a combination of factors: bird flu coming under control, weaker consumer demand, ramped-up supply and producer pricing decisions. The Agriculture Department noted that there had been no significant outbreaks of avian flu in March so far, and economists say any new outbreaks could push up prices again. The virus has forced egg producers to cull tens of millions of hens since late last year. …”

Egg Prices Have Dropped, Though You May Not Have Noticed

Wholesale egg prices are about half what they were last month. Fewer bird flu outbreaks and weakened consumer demand are contributing to the decline, economists say.
