$9 for 18 eggs in East Texas. Walmart

I bet Trump is going to order the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics to stop reporting the consumer price index soon.

Its crazy how expensive these are getting where I work they are 4.50/dz but they were 4.5/dz 2 years ago too.

$12.98 on Oahu, more than a dollar per egg is crazy.

I’m not sure how expensive Kroger is, but I bought eggs today at Russ’s (slightly cheaper than HyVee usually but not by much) for $5.99 a dozen in Lincoln. I think it was a sale though because they were over $6 a bit ago.

February 7th at the Walmart on Center and 180th in Omaha was $8.18 for 18

Woo, OMAHA!
Unfortunately, our state government officials like the taste of orange.
IDontCareAtAllButIShould
They're 6.49 a dozen at one store and 7 and some at another here. So yours are cheap.

The math ain't mathing.

I’m sure different suppliers and regional costs come into play.

Same price in Dallas

Oh, 18 count.

I went with the quantity that I usually buy.

I was just confused why it was much higher than my Kroger in MI.

For a long time now I've heard eggs are expensive in the us, but can someone please tell me why? It doesn't seem like the tariffs are helping?

Bird flu and with it being winter, egg production is naturally lower. If you have TikTok, Farming While Beige is quite educational on the egg industry with emphasis on sustainability.

It's crazy this year. I've seen it in the wildlife for the first time ever. ⤜(ⱺ ʖ̯ⱺ)⤏keep those feeders down, everyone!

Bird flu is part of it, the top egg manufacturers in the USA were caught running a price-fixing scheme last year, and I expect that any investigation/enforcement against them has halted.
GenshiV
Bird flu, mostly.
Ekibwurm
odd... we got none of it in europe (as far as i heard).... could it be related to poor hygiene and handling of the birds?

Thank you

I saw yesterday that Donnie's approval rating is up points. If this isn't Biazarro World, I don't know what is.

The fakest news you will ever see
dudehiemer
After everything you've seen over the last decade, do you think the news outlets reporting convict Trump's approval ratings is being honest?
thinkybrainpains
So says the poll conducted by CBS who is being sued by Trump for $20B and wants to settle for normal editing of Harris tapes even though he hasn’t proven he was harmed by the videos
KungofBees
Polls are lies.
woozle

It's because the truth and news cycle has been destroyed. The only official news is positive. He's also doing a lot of good little things that most people like, while simultaneously stripping away peoples' rights, freedoms, and protections. The average person doesn't pay close enough attention or look far enough ahead to understand what's happening. We don't see it yet, but the consequences will be enormous, and they'll cheer for the distractions at the stadiums while their children starve.

Illustration: I know someone who is trying to defend trump and musk poorly or of this perception that these guys are doing things that are "good for business." When I bring up all the awful shit going down, he isn't aware of any of it. No information is on his radar except "increase govt efficiency+ reduced regulations = great business. This guy is living on disability, btw, so nothing benefits him.
HollerinAtTheVoid
Yep, I've seen exactly what you're talking about. They dont know about any of the negatives
ralphmelish
What kind of good little things are we talking about? Please give one example.
CoinedWatcher
The stuff for show. Banning Trans athletes, even though it's nit a big deal the bigots love it. The tariffs, they just see that Mexico/Canada backed down without realizing they didn't actually make any changes. Getting rid of surplus govt spending. If you don't look at what musk is actually doing it sounds good, no more $800 hammers. He's doing so much so quick it's impossible to explain to his fanbois how none of it is actually good or useful
