That’s expensive!

QUESTION: Do you still purchase eggs, or have you held off a bit until prices go down?

Yes, I still buy eggs, Grocery Outlet have a dozen extra large eggs for $7.49, which is a little less than it was a few weeks ago. I was at Sprout’s yesterday and they had eggs at about the same price or just a little more. The last few times I was at Trader Joe’s they did not have eggs at all. My breakfast is either, oatmeal, cream of wheat, whole grain waffles topped with plain yoghurt, berries and slivered almonds, or an egg of some kind, scrambled, poached on whole wheat bread, or an omelet. I have an egg for breakfast about 3 to 4 times a week. A few weeks ago when eggs where really expensive I bougth medium size eggs, they are too small. since I only use one egg. When I make scrambled eggs, I add a little cream and sometimes cheddar cheese, and often mushrooms or green onions.

Totally agree about the cream………scrambled eggs with Half & Half are so delicious.

Im so glad I dont like eggs. But this stinks for those who do.

My last dozen were free due to a store rewards program. Of course the picture here is $40 for 60 eggs and $8 for a dozen. I still buy eggs though. It’s a good source of protein. But as some of the egg farmers have said this Bird Flu thing is BS. The dumb government is still trying to fool us.

Trader Joe’s has really been wonderful in holding its price down and limiting one box per customer. So yes they do sometimed run out, but they’ve been four to five dollars this whole time! I love that store for their excellent quality products, at fair price. Your picture in the ad here shows Safeway; of course they’re crazy expensive!

Free-range chickens are more vulnerable because they can come into contact with wild
birds that are infected with the Avian flu virus. USDA Secretary, Brooke Rollins, addressed
the press today and discussed her strategy to help lower the cost of eggs. She also said
eggs are more expensive in California due to the state’s tight restrictions, and the higher
cost of transportation. If California doesn’t loosen some of its restrictions, and lower the
cost of energy, eggs will continue to cost more than the rest of the nation.

Thank you Donald Trump.

Yes indeed, it’s all Trumps fault.
Trump is also responsible for KMart going out of business, the Vietnam war, the great San Francisco earthquake and fire, the extinction of the dinosaurs….

so much for the old “Hen grenade” at these prices kids can’t afford to egg houses anymore.

I still purchase eggs. I am unsure if the radical means of curbing the avian flu (culling flocks) is necessary, as I am not studied up on this, but seems draconian to eliminate all birds to prevent from getting ill. To prevent a hen from getting ill, and passing to the rest of the flock, the solution is to eliminate the flock???? I am sure it is not that simple, but federal guidance in the past has been WAAAAAY off, so I would immediately question this guidance. Anyway, I would much rather have eggs than a beer.
