I was just at the grocery store; normal eggs are $10/dozen in Central California, where we have a lot of egg operations.
4 to 8 bucks in Oakland, oddly enough, Safeways where all the mega price hikes are. You’d figure a general grocery store would have less but I guess the other spots buy local
Merced here, we’re smack in the middle of Cowlifornia, so I would’ve guessed our prices would come down first. I’ve seen local grocers here deadass selling loosies for a dollar. Wild that you guys are coming down before us, but I’m glad to see it.
That is weird, could be dependant on preexisting contracts or possibly bulk orders
Here in Indiana eggs are $4-$5/dozen
$4 greater boston area.
I’m paying $4500/mo on my mortgage. I don’t give a fuck about egg prices. I give a fuck about the impending crash that is going to cost so many jobs. I give a fuck about my wife with a permanent resident card who if she leaves I have no idea if she’ll ever come back - assuming they don’t just strip her of it.
I have real fucking problems. Egg prices aren’t one of them.
