I don't even know what's going on over they. They are freaking out about egg prices?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 days ago

Yes, pre-pandemic eggs would average like $1.25 a dozen and fancy (more ethical) would be like $3 or $4. After pandemic average had been around 3 or 4 and fancy around 5 or 6. Currently average costs around $9 and fancy around 12. Since our health agencies are getting fucked despite the ongoing bird flu prices are only expected to get worse for domestic eggs. As a bonus to this Republicans are putting tariffs on our neighbors (Mexico and Canada) so prices will remain higher even with importing any shortfall of domestic production.

Eggs are historically a cheap source of protein but are now more expensive than meat. Eggs prices were one of the main stated reasons that people believed the economy wasn't doing well under Biden.

The egg prices are a meme at this point, but we have been dealing with increasing wealth inequality and inflation. Prices are going up, but people aren’t making enough.

Lots of people voted for trump because he promised to lower price’on day one’ however, as usual for the republican agenda, all the moves he makes will hurt the average American and enrich the billionaires.

The most recent things are putting tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods, and a lesser tariff, though still significant, on china. This will only raise prices for Americans

I just came from the grocery store and there was a dozen bottom shelf for $4 and top shelf for $9. This is being blown away out of proportion on social media

Depends on where you live, etc. My dad was telling me last week, since he keeps track of what he pays for food, that last year eggs went from $4 to about $8 for your basic grocery store eggs.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Depends on where you are. Cheapest next to me is $7.42 per dozen.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I just spent $12 on an 18 pack. There was no other option.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Egg prices have been rising a lot in the US lately because of bird flu.
