That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.

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.

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."

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.

Weird: this is Safeway, Canada

Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?

Conservatives: Thanks Obama!

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.

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.

Let's Go Trump!

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.

Thanks, Obama!

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.

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.

So, I guess no.... Denver omelet? Sorry I'll leave.

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.

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.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?
