The expensive ones don't taste any different to me.

Don’t buy egg lands best.

Why?

Here you go. Lots of good stuff here: https://www.truthorfiction.com/eggs-chickens-and-windfall-profit-tax-tweets/


In the summary - so avoid Egg-Land's Best, Farmhouse Eggs & Land O'Lake Eggs:

"Alongside memes about “expensive eggs” across social media, a January 15 2023 tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders about a “windfall profits tax” and egg prices began circulating. Sanders claimed that a supplier of three brands increased its profits by 65 percent in the previous fiscal quarter “to a record-breaking $198 million while doubling the price of eggs & reporting no positive cases of avian flu.” The tweet did not include a citation for the figures Sanders referenced.

A January 13 2023 CNN Business article reported that, just as Sanders claimed, supplier Cal-Maine (or CALM) had increased their profit by 65 percent to $198 million in the most recent quarter. CNN referenced a statement, which matched a December 28 2022 egg industry report. In it, Cal-Maine’s Chief Financial Officer mentioned net income of “$198.6 million,” matching Sanders’ tweet.

Getting the FTC involved in the price collusion.

I buy my eggs through a small free-range operation, and the prices have not changed for two years.

Yep and $9 if you buy the 'family pack' (Which is 2 x 1 dozen packs)

Today I went to walmart and saw that the same 18 pack of eggs that was $6 eight days ago was $7.30 today. Which comes to 40 cents per egg.

I also bought a pound of ground beef for $4. I was thinking that 10 cracked eggs would probably come out to a pound. So therefore eggs and ground beef are about the same price, ounce for ounce.

Exactly! It's no longer a cheap alternative to meat!

I see on the other thread that Wegmans has expensive eggs. On this thread I see Costco and Trader Joe's still seem affordable. Anywhere else?

Thanks for the misogyny I don't drink coffee. But everyone in my family eats eggs daily.

Not good for you eat 7 eggs a week.
