Not much if at all. It's around $3 for a dozen eggs, not $10+ like in some places in the US right now.
more worried about future prices given the culling that actually made chicken meat cheaper recently.
I don't buy eggs, so not directly.
In Europe tho price off eggs are still stable. Even if they rise I live rural so I know some local egg producers so I'll always have access to cheap eggs.
Ive always spent a bit extra for a certain brand of eggs, which I prefer, so I haven't noticed a great deal of difference if I'm honest.
Can't be skimping on good egg.
Itβs reminding me that most people donβt see the forest for the trees.
I stock up when I see them at a reasonable price. They'll last a few weeks.
They should last for at least 6 weeks in the fridge!
"Last". Yes. In practice, I found eggs in a fridge age by weeks. I would still call them "fresh" within a week. After that, they don't taste as well. Another week after that, visual changes happen on the shell. I can see as if the fluid inside is "breaching" the membrane thus dark spots on the outside. This is the last stage I would still be willing to consume them. After that I would throw them away.
Like eggs, but I can live without.
I have a pregnant wife who eats eggs every morning and it sucks. That and a ton of foods being prepped with eggs at some point makes the rest of food go up in price as well, Iβd assume.
I eat fewer eggs
They more or less cost the same as before.
But I'm also not from the US
Nothing. My local area has a lot of chicken in peoples back yards.
I barely use eggs, maybe one or two every once in a while to make something but in the morning I'm in a hurry so it's breakfast shakes for me!
Not at all. I don't eat eggs. Never knew the prices went up (beyond just general inflation) till I saw this post.
Locally they've gone up to 50cts an egg, because most chicks died in last month's cyclone.
A little bit yeah. Really just all food is a lot more expensive.
I used to not have to check my bank account. Now my savings account is slowly shrinking. And it's almost entirely because of the cost of food.
Inflation sent me from adding to savings each month to pulling from it instead. Just hope my wife or I get a decent promotion before the savings run out I guess.
I can't get the cheapest eggs near me which is disappointing
Not at all. Eggs were never a significant experience to begin with.
I really like eggs, but I walk to my grocery store and back, and often bump the fuck outta whatever I buy. After the first accident, I've not bought eggs in a real long while.
I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)
Half the time I go to the store there arenβt any eggs. The highest ones are 10$ a dozen. The reg ones are $5 a dozen. But again thatβs when theyβre available in the first place.
