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.

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.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 15 points 4 weeks ago

Oh no, grocery prices are this term's infrastructure week.

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.

[–] asqapro@reddthat.com 47 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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."

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 51 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

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.

Hey Internet stranger, can I buy some of your eggs?

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.

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

[–] AAA@feddit.org 24 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it's 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.

It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?

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.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 21 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 weeks ago (8 children)

Meanwhile in sweden its $3.50 for 12 pieces cage free and if you get cheap ones its $4 for 24 pieces.

Hate to be that person, but now that they know people are willing to pay it- it’s probably not going to ever go back down.

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.

Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.

They’re $8.75 for 12 at Aldi in CA. Or if you’re a real saver, 60 for under $45!

I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...

Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.

[–] Jonnynny@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (5 children)

As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that's if they aren't sold out due to the shortage.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?

[–] Mayonnaise@lemm.ee 25 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (26 children)

My understanding is mostly a bird flu but also inflation.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 19 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's ok, though. Trump has installed a loyalist who will scrub all mention of bird flu from the USDA website. Problem solved!

Look how well it worked out at the FAA!
