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."

Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.
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.
Bird flu sucks. Too bad the CDC can't warn us about it though.
It's a dozen eggs, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?
Conservatives: Thanks Obama!
Your welcome!
I usually pass this over but for a novelty account you might want to spell it right. "You're welcome!"

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.
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.
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.
Out here fighting for eggs like scalpers fighting for RTX 5090s.

Let's Go Trump!
Thanks, Obama!
It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?
Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.
Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden
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.
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.
I do this, but I swear I spend so much on potting soil, and containers (though now that I have enough that cost is taken care of) that I'm not sure it's saving me anything. I'd love to plant into the ground but I've got hard soil so I'd have to rent a tiller and amend the soil for ages, which is also an additional cost. Still planning on planting tons of potatoes, various tomatoes, and an herb garden this spring. It's an enjoyable hobby, but it is just that; a hobby. Those tend to be expensive, at least the ones I choose.
I spend so much on potting soil
you'd think it would be dirt cheap

Then you will need to hire armed security guards to keep folks from stealing your eggs.

Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...
Sorry to disappoint, i'm not from Denver. I stole the image from reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/FluentInFinance/comments/1ibgmua/today_in_denver_1099_for_one_dozen_eggs_eggs_used/

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
It is definitely regional culling or outright infection and death of the birds. It jumped to a human in Louisiana. It killed him.
Edit: I'm reading from CDC now and my info is old. There have been 61 reported cases that were not as serious. This might be another big one folks, with the entire government controlled by people who don't believe in settled science.

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.
The US is horrendously backwards on animal welfare.
And human
And healthcare
And literary everything
cage free is better than nothing, but if it were organic it would say so and not just cage free I suspect. I'm not even sure they're free-range, maybe they're just all in a barn with no access to outside fields?
even if they were ecological, to me that seems expensive

As long as MAGA doesn't blame Trump or the corporations directly then those corporations will continue to raise prices because higher profits are in their best interest.
But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!
Shame about that flu thing innit
$4-6/doz in NC.
