Eggs will be $4 a dozen!!!

He's so perpetually DUMPY.

For breakfast EVERYDAY he eats two Sausage Egg McMuffins with two orders of Hash Browns.

JD Vance sure showed ‘em

I’m just an autistic, gay vegan sitting here while I eat a delectable bowl of tofu scramble, wondering why more people don’t give tofu a chance with the way egg prices are going.

Maybe if Trump and Vance ate more plant-based foods, they would be more pleasant as people and “politicians.”

I paid $4.79 at Kroger (Michigan) for a dozen jumbo eggs.

Eggs are actually normal prices where I live. I’ve always said that i never saw the food inflation that others witnessed, I don’t know why

A dozen eggs have risen from $3.50 to $8.00 since Trump took office where I am.

R5 - where do you live?

Our egg prices went 'down' - $7.99 for 12 white eggs. Organics and brown eggs are still close to $10.

I still think it's price gouging - only 5% of the chicken laying population has been culled for bird flu. It's bullshit. 5% reduction does not raise prices 100-125%.

The gross factory farmed store brand ones were 5.99 yesterday. I almost bought some because the shelves have been bare the last 10 days.

It is not about the eggs or lack of eggs, it's about your bullshit.

Your grift is bullshit and has diminished American democracy.

President Biden was removed from the ticket for being old and detached from everyday issues.

President Biden's age and the cost of groceries were endlessly discussed during his time in office. President Biden's successor is the oldest fuck ever installed into the White House. President Biden's gone, yet groceries are more expensive than ever and we have shortages but there is no "discussion " about grocery prices or egg shortages, nor discussion about the age of his successor.

they will only get worse under this coup taking place

he still tickles my pickle - even though he's a vampire - I'd still love to see a video of him fucking that couch

[quote]I’m just an autistic, gay vegan sitting here while I eat a delectable bowl of tofu scramble,

Great, r3, none of the cholesterol and all of the estrogen.

You know this happened back in September, right?

Yes, but now it is clear that it was all claptrap - the Turmp administration doesn’t give a fuck about the prices of eggs, gas or anything in the US, just defrauding the electorate

Oh, okay, I get it.

R12, you don’t need to be so fucking rude. Grow up!

Mind you, I’m 30, 5’5, and weigh 145-150 lbs. I was salutatorian of my high school class, earned two associate degrees, and am now going for a bachelor’s degree. I scored a 4.07 GPA last fall. I’m in better shape than a lot of people my age. Plus, I have always had a mild sensitivity for eggs (even as a kid). Maybe don’t judge next time!

Just basic eggs are about $9 - $12 at my supermarket the last 3 weeks. The pasture raised ones are about $16.

Can we blame Trump for the inflated prices then? Or does he only take blame for the things he sees as positive?

I'm glad I grew up in a time before fat, makeup wearing sociopaths, who have never even pumped their own gas. Are considered alpha males.

Welcome to Wichita!

I paid $13.00 for 18 eggs yesterday. (I’m in California.)

The last 2 times I've been to Trader Joe's and the last time I was at Whole Foods, there have been no eggs in stock at all. I'm in San Francisco.

JD Vance don’t care

Are they 4 dollars yet?

They're about double that now R23. This thread is from September 2024.

Indeed, it’s almost a dollar and egg in some parts

I bought Happy Eggs, large, organic browns, from Publix today. $7.19. And actually it was a good price for them. They're usually much more expensive.

$4 dollars a dozen in Grand Island?

They hit a record high today

I'm keeping chickens in a spare bathroom.

It’s almost like the promise of cheap groceries was a lie. . . . .

Bitch look like he just ate 2 egg McMuffins alongside the number 2 cheeseburger meal.

Apparently Turkey is exporting some supply to the US

Oh great. Turkey eggs.

I like scrambled eggs with salsa on the side. Don't take that away from me.

[quote] This thread is from September 2024

Huh?

Couch fucking, grifting weirdos

Shockingly - I bought 12 organic brown eggs at Trader Joe's in SoCal for 4.99 today. Everywhere else, including Aldi, it's $8.99.

Not sure what TJ is doing to get around this - but good on them.

Trader Joe's is out every time I'm there lately. Probably because I go in the late afternoon. They aren't gouging and are restricting people to one dozen eggs a day. Target had some eggs, but only organic, free-range at $8.99/dozen. This was yesterday at Trader Joe's on 4th St in downtown San Francisco and the Target at the Metrion.

I suspect J.D.’s real concern is the price of Eggos.

[quote]I’m just an autistic, gay vegan sitting here while I eat a delectable bowl of tofu scramble,

Does the arm flailing help with the scrambling?

I just paid 8 bucks for a dozen in Philadelphia

I'm not American but to me it sounds like Americans eat eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day and buy multiple cartons of eggs each day.

4 bucks is cheap.

Eggs cost about 4,50 usd a dozen here in Norway.

R42 Eggs are traditionally a breakfast food in the States. They are also used a lot in baking. I personally enjoy omelets and will occasionally have one for dinner. They are actually very healthy and an excellent source of protein. According to Statistica, Americans do eat more eggs on average then Europeans, but not hugely so. Americans consume about 5.4 eggs per week and Europeans consume about 4.6 eggs per week. Americans eat an extra 0.8 on an egg each week.

"In 2023, Americans ate an estimated 281.3 eggs per person, while Europeans ate about 240 eggs per person."

Egg him on

R45 Here in Norway there's been a huge uptick in people buying eggs. Everything has increased by a lot, we're talking a 30 % increase on groceries in like two or three years. It's really bad. Groceries here were expensive enough before the price hike. They think this is why they sell more eggs now, it's farily cheap protein. It's healthy for you. That's why we've had an egg shortage here. It's getting better now though. It's not even because of bird flu. People just eat a lot more eggs now, so they couldn't produce enough for the demand. That's also why egg prices have increased, though it's not that bad. You can still get a dozen eggs here for like 50 kr (4,50 us dollars).

18 medium sized eggs for 57 kr (5 us dollars).

I am baffled as to why people thought Trump or his billionaire cronies like Musk gave a shit about grocery prices. These are people who have not thought about the price of anything in their entire lives.

And Musk is hell bent on tanking the economy, so it’s going to get worse.

My local Market Basket has kept eggs below 4.00 through this whole mess.

I don't know how they do it, Walmarts' eggs are 6.00. (same town)

$13 in Brooklyn.

It's hard to find a dozen eggs of any kind in NYC under $9. The pasture raised organic ones are now around $14 or more.

time for scrambled tofu

Absolutely invisible in Edgewater Miami. Occasionally I'll see a couple of broken ones in a container.

@OP he looks like he's wearing Beyoncé's pregnant pillow.

Once a day, every day, all day long I'm so disgusted with MAGA voters and especially lazy non-voters.

Oh, and the truly terrible mainstream media who yet again are playing Charlie Brown football with Trump's Lucy van Pelt.

invisible?

R54 Ab-sho-lutely in-bush-able

Every single Democratic member of Congress should walk into work each day wearing a simple t-shirt that reads: "But the price of eggs..."

That's very interesting thank you R45. Eggs definitely are very healthy and a great source of all sorts of good things. There's a long list of nutritional values . It does sound like Americans spend a lot of time thinking about and talking about eggs. I just didn't know that before. It's fascinating.

my very elderly neighbor told me that eating eggs with runny yolks are very nutritious! Is this true? runny Vs cooked.

Once again, stupid the european trash have arrived, go fuck yourselves hard and bloody.

eat oatmeal instead of eggs for breakfast!

[quote] I suspect J.D.’s real concern is the price of Eggos

I'm thinking Leggos.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's aren't going to have the cheapest eggs.

Eggs give me diarrhea.

[quote] Maybe if Trump and Vance ate more plant-based foods, they would be more pleasant as people and “politicians.”

I am sure that is the solution to the current regime's problems.

Now over $8.

They're $5.69 a dozen at Aldi, limit 2 dozen.

[quote]I'm not American but to me it sounds like Americans eat eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day and buy multiple cartons of eggs each day.

It’s insane. I think I eat eggs maybe once or twice a week tops.

EGGS!!! EGGS!!!! COTTON!!! COTTON!!! BRING ME SOME EGGS!!!

R69 Really? I eat two eggs a day.

[quote] Maybe if Trump and Vance ate more plant-based foods, they would be more pleasant as people and “politicians.”

Or at least their farts would smell better.

I saw a news report where people were buying hundreds of eggs at costco. It's so fucking ridiculous! It's not like you can keep them forever like toilet paper!

You can throw them at MAGAts

Eggs at Ralphs (Kroger) in Southern California were going for $8.19 yesterday. That was for a dozen Extra Large. The funny thing is that the Large there were priced even higher at $11.89. It was just the reverse at Vons a few days ago: $6.99 for a dozen Large and $11.49 for Extra Large. A couple weeks ago, Vons didn't even have Extra Large and the Large were going for $11.99.

Can't find any to buy today

California has really been hit hard that's why prices are super high here.

The price for Utopihen organic pasture raised eggs at Market Basket where I live is 5.99. Non-organic pasture raised, 4.99. The same price they've been for several years.

Bought a dozen eggs for 47 kr (4,22 usd) today.

R77 - there were 384 million egg-laying hens in the US in Dec 2023. They've culled 20 million due to bird flu. That's 5.2%. That's not enough to change supply and costs like this. Nobody is reporting the # of culled hens as a proportion of the total. Canada also has bird flu and doesn't have this problem.

California is not a major egg-producing state - only having 3+% of all egg-laying hens in the US.

They're fucking with the prices because of greed. End of story. 5% reduction does not create double or triple the pricing.

[quote]Eggs at Ralphs (Kroger) in Southern California were going for $8.19 yesterday.

Ralphs and Vons are hopeless - look somewhere else. I just bought a dozen (organic) at Trader Joe's for $5. Aldi has them at a decent price, plus of course Costco if you can find them there. I'm in San Diego.

R81 - can confirm - I got brown organic eggs for under $5 at TJ's in MV just 2 days ago. The only place that's not $7-$9 that I've seen, including Aldi.

So not sure which Aldi you went to, but they've been just as high as Ralphs or Vons. I go to Aldi in Clairemont.

R82 What is MV?

Mission Valley

They were $5.19/dozen for jumbo white at metro Detroit Kroger this week. And the jumbo are looking more like large...

R81 Yesterday, a dozen large eggs at my local Aldi in Southern California were higher than Ralphs. Coming in at $8.39.

Once dings go up, it's hard to bring dem down agin

^Katzenjammer Kids

Meanwhile, in Canada…. A dozen large eggs were C$3.99 (US$2.79) this morning at the supermarket.

The funny thing about the eggs at Vons yesterday was that a dozen large were priced at $9.99. But they're obviously not selling at that price, because about half the cartons in the case were tagged with a red 50% off bar code sticker with the "sell by" date being tomorrow.

Another 40%! You hear that, fat whores? Cigarettes will be cheaper by Christmas.

I stopped by a pavilions yesterday and the only available eggs were an 18 pack of cage free white (blech) for $16.99.

R29 4 easy payments of 4.25

R93 was for R92

The prices are different all over the country. Near me in Brooklyn the prices are ridiculous. I live in downtown Brooklyn, and no lie. I went to the supermarket a few days ago, and they were selling a dozen eggs for $12.99.

The cheapest by me was Target and they were $7.

I sold my earrings for an egg

I sold my caftans

It's like COVID and TP all over again.

How will I clean myself?

Eggs are not good for you anyway…

I rub them on my skin

R99 they are protein. Yes. They’re good. Just have to limit the yolk.

Yeah, yeah, eggs are bad so don't eat it! More for me!!

They will be like oranges in Dickensian England, a special treat to be savored on Christmas morning amidst the dank London fog and wandering homeless

[Quote]Oh tender egg! I will treasure each morsel, from the shell I shall craft a home

Lmao!

Speaking of Dickensian England .. Independent UK had an article on continuing food shortages at grocery stores there this week.

"The great British food shortage: Why your weekly shop is about to get worse: Spiralling inflation isn’t the only problem: butter is vanishing, broccoli seems like a luxury and orange juice can cost as much as a pint. Hannah Twiggs investigates why Britain’s food supply is in crisis and what could be next to disappear from our supermarket shelves."

R105 well let me guess…they are an island that deliberately cut themselves off from their biggest tax-free source of food imports. Brexit took the broccoli!

R91 Fat people don't eat eggs. Egg eaters are mostly skinny, healthy people. My BMI is a perfect 20.

Decades ago, my wealthy aunt owned 100 triple deckers.She had her own construction company rehab the apartments when people moved out. She said the worst was a Vietnamese family-

They had ripped off all the kitchen cabinet doors and, replaced them with chicken wire, and were raising egg laying chickens in them.

If egg prices keep going up, I’m thinking of doing the same thing!

Keeping some chickens for eggs. You'll have to spend money on food. And let me tell you they're quite messy. We had a little coop of three when I was a kid. The fewer you have the more they become like pets. And at some point they stop laying eggs. Then, what do you do with the little critters?

Apparently, their plan is to import tariff-free eggs from Canada. Canada should tell him to fuck off and import them from Russia.

I need my eggs! If the price goes higher, so be it.

R110, new tariffs on Tuesday

$8 at acme today

R113 = Wile E. Coyote

My friend who just moved to Lisbon told me he paid $2.49 for a dozen eggs. but to be honest, I bought two dozen eggs at Costco and paid $8.19 for them a week ago. Organic brown eggs.

R114, uh, no

Meanwhile there is a major cocoa shortage, my local grocery has no Hershey Cocoa and only a few of the store brand, it has been that way for weeks.

My expensive grocery store is charging between $11 and $14 for a carton of eggs. They were piled up--cartons and cartons unbought. Target is charging $6.70 for regular large white eggs. My brown organic eggs were sold out.

[quote] Apparently, their plan is to import tariff-free eggs from Canada.

Even if there was no tariff, wouldn't shipping costs attached to eggs being imported be pretty high? I suppose Canada could supply border states, but I always thought that's why most eggs that show up in supermarkets are produced locally. Here in Southern California most of our eggs come from the more rural areas of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. There's another community in Ventura County around Fillmore that people call "Egg City." There are so many egg laying farms that you can smell the chicken shit from the highway.

Tariffs, measles, and now we're back to subsistence farming. Are we Great Again?

[quote] “How do we solve for something like this?” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins asked on Fox News. “People are sort of looking around and thinking, ‘Wow, maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome.”

Current egg prices are a result of price gouging and have very little to do with bird flu.

The egg cartels saw an opening and ran with it. And prices rarely come back down.

Prices came down last time.

Thump doesn’t rule out a recession

I stopped buying eggs, I'm eating other food for protein.

A carton of eggs here ranges from $9.99 to $14.99. Sad.

[quote] My friend who just moved to Lisbon told me he paid $2.49 for a dozen eggs

Did you think to ask your friend why the eggs in Lisbon were priced in dollars?

Insane, and they will never come down

None of this has affected me at all. I use maybe six eggs every calendar quarter.

I had no idea so many people’s diets apparently revolve around eggs. When one food is in short supply there are other foods you can eat, no?

[quote]While consumers, small businesses and their customers continue to shell out more for eggs amid the avian flu outbreak, the nation's largest producer and distributor of eggs has reported soaring profits.

[Quote]Cal-Maine Foods, according to SEC filings, saw an over three-fold increase in their gross profits in their fiscal year 2023, at the dawn of the bird flu outbreak. And according to their most recent filing, their gross profits are up 342% through the second quarter of their fiscal year 2025 versus the previous fiscal year.

Isn't that price gouging and isn't that illegal?

It is and has been going on since the pandemic

[quote]Isn't that price gouging and isn't that illegal?

The Trump admin says so. Of course, the "investigation" is performative and will lead to nothing, but it will placate the rubes.

Last year when I bought eggs they we on sale for 2.49 a dozen. Now I see them for $9.00.

Will never be 4 a doz. again and they should never have been that cheap.

[quote] and they should never have been that cheap

Why is that, R133? You like higher prices?

no more eggs for me.

[quote] Eggs will be $4 a dozen!!!

Where and when OP, that sounds like quite a bargain.

6.89 in flyoverstan now

Remids me--I'm having eggs for breakfast tomorrow, with grated cheese. Yum.

Not where I live

Let them eat…basically anything other than eggs?

I'm at the point where I will join a boycott of eggs just for the principal of it. I like eggs, but there are plenty of other options for protein and breakfast. I don't for a minute believe this is totally due to avian flu. It is price gouging and I would love to see that industry brought to its knees. If everyone just decided to go for other options and let eggs rot on the shelves it would teach these industries a lesson.

Boycott eggs, why, R141? To spite who?

[quote] for the principal of it

Oh dear, R141.

Utopihen organic pasture raised

There's no such thing, another lie you believe, did they tell you that when they're pasture raised, they clip off the beaks so they can't peck each other's eyes out? There's your pasture raised eggs. They still do it.

Grade A extra large (not organic/pasture raised) at Harris Teeter in NC today were $8.99 for 18 eggs.

Maybe just sell individual ostrich eggs and we could parse them out by 1/4 cups-freeze and use as needed?

Duck eggs are cheaper at the Asian market today

Have you tried eating something other than eggs? They have a lot of other foods besides eggs nowadays. Hope this helps 🥰

I paid $7.99 for one dozen large brown organic free range from Pete and Jerry. The Vital Farms ones were $14. Publix in GA

I saw $6.99 at the acme

Wasn’t going to buy eggs this month but now I want to make cookies. A dozen will last me quite a while but they were 9.99 Target-Berkeley.

$5.19 at Kroger.

I feel like we're all hostages to these two insane monsters and their gang of t hugs and these other countries will end up saving us albeit somewhat unintentionally, because they are all going after him now. Hitting us in every way. So many people cancelling anything American including trips, products, etc. and the countries themselves cancelling contracts for weapons, transport, etc. Make things so impossible that Trump, Elon and Stephen Miller Trump's architect are run out of town. Because a lot of Trump's grandiosity is fed by Miller who is doing the "strategy" on all his so called "policy " positions.

[quote] Make things so impossible that Trump, Elon and Stephen Miller Trump's architect are run out of town.

The U.S. does not have a parliamentary system. There is no vote of confidence to topple a prime minister. Trump and the Republicans will remain in power until at least January, 2029.

There’s a lot of comments that seem to indicate that there are people who don’t understand that.

I caved in and bought some eggs today. It wasn't too expensive...$6 for a dozen

Cheaper than where I live

I'm seeing more of them now...

more of what?

Will he be laying them? Any guaranteed double-yokes??”

Things got so bad at one point my favorite rent boys demanded payment in eggs in lieu of Bitcoin.

Local store is 4.79 for their jumbo size, Egglands is 4.99 for 12, higher than normal but not bad.

R162, I just realized something. I eat a lot of eggs. Maybe 8-ten eggs a week. And for the past 4-5 years I don't recall a time when I ever got a double yolk. I remember when I was a kid we used to always get excited if we got one. But it's been a while.

These egg complainers are the same screaming cows that pay $10 for 6 buffalo wings when they go to stuff their faces at the trashiest wing place the can find with the whole family in tow.

A week ago, I was in the Whole Foods in NYC, and the egg section looked lke zombies raided it- broken eggs littered on barren shelves- they were selling for $6. I'm in L.A. now, and my grocery delivery Imperfect Produce has them for $5 and $6.

The egg and I

$8.69.

I miss eating eggs. Not that I ate that many but I miss them.

i agree

R16 No one is impressed, I'm 5'7" and 144 just today, you must be a little round butterball.

$4.00 doesn't sound outrageous to me for a dozen eggs. Get back to me when they're a dollar per egg.

They are pretty close to that now

Time to look into alternatives.

I’ve bought duck eggs recently. They were approximately the same price

They are importing more eggs from Brazil!!

And Denmark

And Turkey

“And China, they don’t have melamine… many people say…”

Eggs here cost 2 dollars a couple of years ago. The cheapest now cost more than 4 dollars. Insane!

And china will benefit

i went to traders joe for my elderly neighbor, he eats 3 eggs a day but doesn't go to supermarket that often...he usually buys a few dozen eggs at a time and putting limits of how many you can buy is really hurting him

My store is running a promo trying to get people to opt for buying a half dozen carton instead of a full dozen. Basically with six you get eggroll.

They're about $7 a dozen here in LA /South Bay.

You know, if they put a limit on how many you buy, then just go to another store and buy as many as you need.

r185 No way! Brilliant!

The news today - record high.

Always winning, even when we aren’t.

[quote]The price of a dozen white, large eggs clocked in at record high of $6.23 in March, up from the previous record high of $5.90 in February.[/quote]

Dunno but I live in NYC and eggs have always been at this price point. My local market has piles of eggs. It's a big chain too.

Last week I went to a large Asian market (HMart) in Portland and they were selling a dozen eggs for $17. I couldn't believe it

[quote] Last week I went to a large Asian market (HMart) in Portland and they were selling a dozen eggs for $17.

Shipping eggs from Asia increases the price.

Fuck that

Eggs here cost 5 dollars a dozen. Not too bad though it's not cheap either.

Just be prepared. While egg prices will come down a somewhat, they are going to stay at around $5 a dozen for just plain eggs. If you want organic free range, happy chicken eggs be prepared to spend at least $9 a dozen. That will be the new normal. And we will adapt. Trump is fucking over the farmers, and the economy is now very unstable and we will be grateful to be able to afford food and shelter.

The egg shortage and prices has to do with the a president's but instead with managing the H5N1 bird flu virus. From what I understand Trump administration was sponsoring the import of eggs from Canada, Netherlands and Lithuania to the US. With his tariff bullshit they may not even want to see to the US now.

R196, you seem vaguely to be making a cogent point. Could you retype without all the errors?

Typing with thumbs has it's disadvantages.

The egg shortage and the current prices has little to do with the president's policies, but instead with managing the H5N1 bird flu virus. From what I understand the Trump administration was sponsoring the import of eggs from Canada, Netherlands and Lithuania to the US. With his tariff bullshit they may not even want to sell to the US now.

R198 - I don't agree. About 20 million chickens were killed last quarter of 2024 for bird flu - when the prices went through the roof. There are 375 million egg-laying chickens in the US.

That's a little over 5% of the chickens. Now they will say over 53 million BIRDS (not just chickens) have died of bird flu - but again that's all birds.

Most hens begin producing eggs about 18 weeks after birth. So we should have had plenty of time to catch up to whatever shortage.

Also - Canada is also dealing with bird flu and they have NOT had the same massive price increases. It's a scam.

How the damned Bird flu is managed has everything to do with the President's policies, including his decisions about our relationships with other countries and all the Public Health officials and scientists etc. he is getting rid of.

I remember buying eggs for as low as 49 cents on sale right before covid in flyoverstan.

A dozen eggs for 5 dollars here. It's not too bad. I'm not American though.

what are you?

Cannot remember the last time I ate an egg.

me neither

I eat eggs every day. I have to force myself to think of other things to eat for breakfast.

I have to force myself to eat

I quit eating.

I may start doing protein smoothies for at least one meal a day. Or I may look into those drinks like Ensure? I think limiting myself to one big meal a day along with a snack, will help me lose weight, and save some money on groceries.

Maybe rich white people who only eat egg whites could donate the yolks to poor people.

I'll still buy them, I like eggs.

R210 I always find it annoying when people discard the yolk. It's the tastiest part of the egg. If eggs were yokeless, I wouldn't eat them at all.
