Hate to be that person, but now that they know people are willing to pay it- it’s probably not going to ever go back down.
Chicken shit.
Its just packaged chicken cum. No big deal.
I was aware the USA has some educational troubles, but either you are trolling or joking or these troubles are much more serious than I anticipated.
Yeah dude
Good! (Said with a condescending vegan tone.)
So a dollar more than a banana
How much can it cost, Michael?
I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They’re sitting on bird gold.
Looks like I need to fly out to Denver to save some money on eggs.
new innovation in capitalism! 4-pack of eggs. costs what a dozen used to
Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it’s 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.
They’re fighting the bird flu
Jein. It’s not as bad as OP makes it sound, and I’ve never seen a 10 let alone 12 organic eggs in Germany for 2€ but I also live in the city.
What you’re looking at here look like organic (bio) eggs, likely from a very expensive bio-store. Typical prices for eggs in Denver for organic eggs are 7.49 for 12 or .62¢ a egg at a store comparable to REWE. - Non-bio eggs get down to 4.99 on sale for 12 or .41 an egg.
Here at my REWE in Köln organic eggs are 3.39 for 10 or .33 an egg. So they are actually only twice the price for organic which is due to the killing of millions of chickens because of bird flue.
I used to buy those eggs at the bottom of the picture. They come with a newsletter inside about how the chickens are doing.
The cheap eggs now cost what those eggs used to cost.
I still buy those eggs, the notes they put in are cute.
I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I’d love to interview chickens.
Chickens can actually be vicious. I think they’re the closest living relation to the T-Rex.
Wow, translated to NZD that is that is like $19.50. Current egg prices here are $5 for size 6 and around $6.50 for size 7.
12.99 at my tourist town in CA
You should put maga stickers next to the price tag, just to remind the folks :)
People need to start putting trump “I did this” stickers on everything like the magats were on gas pumps.
Wouldn’t it be great if this was the impetus for people going back to raising animals and growing some of their food for themselves? Almost everyone has room for a garden, even if it’s just a window sill for some fresh herbs. And raising even some of your own food can save you a ton of money.
Or you can take advantage of the rising egg prices to sell them for $9.99/dozen to your neighbors, whatever. Be the neighborhood eggpin. Lead your own fowl empire to dominance over the local Whole Foods.
I do this, but I swear I spend so much on potting soil, and containers (though now that I have enough that cost is taken care of) that I’m not sure it’s saving me anything. I’d love to plant into the ground but I’ve got hard soil so I’d have to rent a tiller and amend the soil for ages, which is also an additional cost. Still planning on planting tons of potatoes, various tomatoes, and an herb garden this spring. It’s an enjoyable hobby, but it is just that; a hobby. Those tend to be expensive, at least the ones I choose.
Why not start with what you got and improve the quality over time as you can, rather than hope for maximum efficiency setup from scratch. Like maybe rent the tiller and just see what grows with the soil as is? Then compost and fertilize.
Like change the parameters of the game. See how much you can do with as little money as possible. It might be less time efficient, but more cash efficient, if that’s what you care about.
Remember it’s YOUR, hobby, you make the rules of the game, then play it.
This is a really good idea! Thank you!!
Eventually it becomes cheaper to raise chickens.
