Summary
Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.
The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.
Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.
Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.
Holy hell that is hilarious on multiple levels.
Am I correct that that is him pointing and looking directly at the sun?
Yup
That is absolutely perfect. *chef’s kiss*
This is fun
Is this from that time he stared at the solar eclipse without eye protection?
Yes.
I still wonder if him staring at the sun was more from him just being a complete idiot, or a “imma gunna show them what a MAN I am! This is some real fucking leadership, I tell u wut!”
Given the cost of everything including stickers, maybe it might be good to have a printout of this and take it everywhere, then take an image with this held up next to the prices.
Also, in Bronzo the Clown’s America, I might get deported or sent to Gitmo over defacing some gas pump with…stickers.
The background should probably be the Russian flag.
Swastika would be more accurate.
No, flag of Putin’s party
Just yesterday my friend texted that his local bodega in the Bronx is selling $1 loosies or $12/dozen. Fucking egg loosies. What’s next? Egg dealers on Gun Hill?
Refrigerated trenchcoat sales on the subway.
Got ya free range here. Extra large. Whites and browns.
Or just sell the non processed eggs that’s easier since they don’t need to be refrigerated
You see the Daily Show sketch?
No, did they do that?
“Yo, I got them loose ovoids!”
Canned white tuna is now cheaper with more protein per dollar than eggs where I am.
Which they just had a recall on.
Thanks, trump!
Didn’t Jabba-the Orange pledge to lower those prices on DAY ONE?
“Surcharges”
Is that a the grocer version of “dealer premiums” from when car dealers legally price gouged during the covid parts supply shortages?
It’s gonna be like the USSR except instead of bread shops running out of bread you’re just not going to be able to afford it because the grocer jacked up the price to $30/loaf.
Not exactly. More like post-USSR. Before fall of USSR sortages meant everything that was produced was consumed and there was some demamd on top. After fall it meant some things were left to rot on shelves in hope someone will buy for higher price.
BUT Trump said he would lower prices on day 1! I don’t get it, why would he lie?
$4.95 for one egg is ridiculous. I won’t pay more than $4.50 an egg. 😤
“It’s one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?”
Enough already
It’s one quote, @phubarr@lemmy.world, how often could you have seen it? Ten thousand times?
Bruh. I just paid $11.83 for a dozen (granted they were organic pasture raised but still)
I just saw an 18 pack for $14.75 yesterday at my local grocery. A dozen is $10, and that’s for the white eggs, not the brown ones. Luckily we have a Grocery Outlet that had a dozen for $7.50, but holy shit.
“i just bought the always high priced ones at a high price!”
Amazing.
They used to be $6 🤷♂️
Poor Canada, egg prices are the same. /s
Neighborhood chicken lady went from $2 to $3 a dozen due to the price increase of chicken feed. Hopefully her chickens won’t be affected, mostly for her & her family’s sake.
$4.95? They’re freaking $10 here.
Third world country. Here in Russia it is ten times cheaper. And then we have some healthcare.
Just a reminder, if you’re like me and never even look at organic stuff, check the organic eggs. They’re cheaper at my store right now.
Why not look at organic stuff?
