Inflation is real, but the egg shortage is due to bird flu. It's not about the economy |
| Eggs are so cheap for what they provide. For $5 I can get enough eggs to serve brunch to my entire family. I buy the expensive cage-free eggs because I care about chicken welfare and it's still only like $7 |
| 3.49 at Giant in Nova |
| You are being sold a bill of goods if think free range cage free means what you think it means. Unless you buy eggs from a person you can see how their chickens live and produce, you have no idea what you are getting. |
I'm very familiar with all the problems of free-range/cage-free labeling, but it's still better than the alternative, which is guaranteed animal cruelty. For me, buying eggs directly from a farmer who allows me to tour his/her chicken coops is not a viable option |
Not it is not “guaranteed” animal cruelty. Nor does cage free range guarantee animal abuse free. |
| Are these golden eggs? Just paid something like $4.65 or $5.65 for an 18-pack at Whole Foods (365 brand). |
| We get ours with our South Mountain milk delivery and they're $5.29 for a dozen large, if anything that might be an increase from 4.99. My guess is they haven't been hit by the bird flu, knock on wood. |
| I bought a dozen organic eggs at Wegman's on Sunday for $4.79! City Ridge Wegman's in DC. |
OP is full of it. I just pulled up my Wegmans app and there are eggs ranging from $3.29 to $7.48 with wide range of prices in between. |
| its $5.49. now. uhhh. |
| I can easily obtain pasture raised organic eggs. IMO the price increase is negligible. |
| Costco, Sterling location, had no eggs yesterday afternoon. |
Costco Leesburg had about 2 carts of 18-count Egglands Best eggs for $4.39!!! One per person and I just happened to be walking by when the employee was handing them out. I grabbed a pack and by the time I had walked back by from the bottled water around the corner, all were gone. It's stupid, but I've been talking about this score way too much. 18 eggs! $4.39! Egglands Best brand!! |
