Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..
Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.
No taxes on food here, although Amazon Fresh has a delivery charge.
I imagine the huge disparity of prices is that culling due to bird flu must be regional and our chickens must not be infected yet
Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also *probably* some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.
Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.
Just snapped this pic from our store’s online shopping app.
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.
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.
Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
They will have security tags in them soon
Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.
They're $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don't have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.
Do people in the US buy caged eggs?! In the UK free range is almost a ubiquitous minimum.
new innovation in capitalism! 4-pack of eggs. costs what a dozen used to
Clearly we havent deported enough ~~black and brown people~~... ahem I mean... the illegals.
/s
Illeggals
Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.
And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?
It'll be even more soon...
Wow, food in Germany is indeed cheap.
Current prices: 0,34€ per egg for organic eggs, 0,20€ per egg for a lower grade (Bodenhaltung)
$4-6/doz in NC.
Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden
I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They're sitting on bird gold.
But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!
Looks like I need to fly out to Denver to save some money on eggs.
The cheapest I can find atm are 2.1 euros for a 12 pack of store brand eggs, 0.175 per egg. Eu.
Edit to add: imo the only relevant comparison is comparing the cheapest with the cheapest available chicken eggs. If you add in branding, location, ... Then you're no longer comparing eggs, but rather cost of living & marketing.
2nd edit: perchery, medium size.
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.
