That's nothing new and common among Hispanic owned small shops. They even sell single cigs and quarts of milk are still common. |

Selling single cigarettes are illegal in the U.S. And I lived in NY for 20 years and never saw loose raw eggs until today. I have seen them in other countries, but not the U.S. |

What you have seen is irrelevant. It is common in places as mentioned. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3978150/ |

+1 Sounds like a privilege problem when you complain about price of eggs st Wegmans. When they hit $8/dozen at Aldi, then we’ll panic along with you. |

| We don’t even eat eggs every week. Are people eating eggs everyday? Just curious. |

Wondering too. I think people just like something to panic and complain about. Especially if they can blame Trump |

yes, people eat eggs every day. They are economical and relativly healthy sources of protein, especially for kids. We don't eat much meat/poultry and protein for our kids comes primarily from eggs, salmon, and some beans (and red meat a couple times a month). My family of 4 can easily go through 2+ dozen eggs a week (2 kids having 2 scambled eggs each as a main, 5 days a week is 20 eggs...plus everythign else we use them in). |

The consumer price index for eggs in the U.S. is at an all time high. Ever. And it is projected to go up by another 40% this year. So yeah, it’s a big deal. And egg prices disproportionately affect people with food insecurity, so perhaps you can join the rest of humanity by caring about someone other than yourself. https://www.businessinsider.com/egg-prices-food-banks-alternative-proteins-tinned-fish-peanut-butter-2025-2 |

Social media has caused panic buying of all sorts of things in the last few years, starting with toilet paper in March 2020. Of course the egg issue is due to government requiring factories with avian flu tested to destroy their chickens. Has resulted in tens of millions of dead birds. Plus egg production always slows over the winter until the spring molt. |

Eggs are ranked #20 on items people buy with snap benefits: behind soda, snack foods, cookies, frozen pizza.. |
