Just walked out of the grocery store. WTF!?!
I bought an 18 ct carton of eggs and, it was $13.99.
I didn’t notice the price until I hit the register.
Looking at my previous receipt, they were $6.49 Dec 2nd. Simple Truth, Brown eggs from Fred Meyer (Kroger).
Anyone else getting hosed at the grocery store?
Nothing to see here.
We’ve been ass fucked since the panickdemic.
Dead hens lay no eggs. Entire flocks are killed whenever any birds in the facility get the avian flu.
Then explain record beef prices?
Beef?
Drought, grain prices.
What do you think is causing it?
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Free shipping: VITALMX
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Pssssst…
ALL of this stuff is traded…pricing…as a commodity…is part of the fucking.
Wow, just paid $5.03 for a dozen large store brand white eggs at Publix supermarket in South Carolina.
I’m gonna go check out another store tomorrow and, see if a flat (60 ct) of the white eggs is the way to go.
My wife thought I bought the wrong eggs. It’s like what kinda eggs cost $14? Whole grain, organic fruit, free ranging in the Bahamas?
I just couldn’t believe it.
I completely understand that. But, are there not that many facilities? Now, I’m wondering how many facilities there are that supply us with eggs/poultry.
Wow, that’s more than double the cost of those eggs at our local Kroger.
I saw one at a local grocery store for just under $45.
My old boss used to say that the price of eggs ain't worth the wear and tear on the hen's ass.
I just bought a dozen eggs this morning at the Richland Winco for $3.79 Chance.
I go grocery shopping almost every Saturday morning with the wife. I have NEVER seen eggs more the $4:50/dozen.
The price is higher now because of Avian Flu. Sorry folks, but I think this is going to be a seasonal thing.
Fridge in the truck took a dump. I had a container of prepared chicken breast in a container, 10 bratwurst in another, choc large milk. I put it in the side box cold air driving gets in there. But the temps went way up in Mn. Xmas day , Wi. 9 in snow is melting causing fog & it started drizzling the 26 into iL. , In & Ohio . At Va, here I checked the chicken & it’s al mushy that sucks. Because food in the east is crazy expensive. I think the brats r 1/2 good . I flipped the fridge & bought the last bag of ice . 400 a week just on cold sandwiches not hitting the ne. Pay to park 18-35 bucks. Shower up to 25 . Water 8 bucks a gal in the ne 3 yrs ago. Only manufacturing that will shows increase in 2025 is beer. Projected 16% increase by a Wi. Beer manufacturer. They built a plant in So Cal also. There pissed because they don’t know how to run it. There looking to sell it. And truck the beer out west because the rates r super low. On the positive at least we,ll hv a drunker America.
Holy Sh**!!!!!! That’s FN insane!!!
If they’re ass eggs he’s buying the wrong thing.
Prices are stupid high on my end. Im going to a select sale today looking for replacement heifers and its higher than Ive ever seen.
About 3k each for decent fancy 7-weight replacements. Regular sale-barn heifers (worth using as replacement) at about 2K'ish
Prolly end up dropping 12k today. 😟
Much of it is this:

Beef prices are my fault. I had a "protein" based kidney stone and the doc told me cut down on my red meat consumption. There wasn't no way on earth that was gonna happen...voluntarily. So they raised the price til I said, "uncle". Sorry fellers.😉
"New World screwworm"
Interesting articles. There's always something tilting import/export markets when it comes to agricultural products. The average person has no idea.
13+ years ago when my step son was in highschool he wanted to get a job at the local egg farm sorting chickens. A couple of the requirements were that he not have any of his own chickens OR....participate in any bird hunting. I guess they were worried even back then about contaminating their flock. He never got the job.
Pit Row
Kwik trip truck stops hv all kinds of bright red meat . I gotta to try some of that . 5 delicious bratwurst for 4.49 I bought 2 packs & fry them up in the trk. Better flavor than Jonsonville & there Really good. Yum yum. The Germans & Polish in Wi. They Really know how to make bratwurst & Sausage. I applied for a cheese making job back in 99. The old Italian guy speaking with his hands . Went on about you hv to be a Very strong man to make ah the cheese. I,m thinking you think I,m a pussy that can’t make cheese? Haha Read my app Jack hammering , concrete work , laborers union, drill rig work . I mean come. On . I do look like a wuzzy tho I guess.
Illinois $3.99 @ Jewel $2.99 @ Aldi
Wis. $5.00 cash at the end of the farmers driveway / honor system
Definitely a big difference between regions. These are the same eggs that are $5.79 at our local Kroger store, but sort of close to where I believe Chance is. Over $8 difference!
It could be an availability issue due to the Avian Influenza. AI affects my business quite a bit, and when it’s found the next closest source that has capacity available can be several hundred or even a thousand miles away. Egg producers don’t want to have a lot of unsold capacity around that they have to feed and care for but not be able to sell, nor do they want to flood the market and drive down prices and reduce their margins.
From earlier this month.

Obviously, Gavin is protecting us just like he did in 2020 🤣
Local Walmart has 18 ct for $3.22. Tom Thumb is $16 for 60ct. You fellas must be gettin’ them fancy free range eggs…
Just got back from town (30 miles from my place). I buy the 5dz box and it was just under $20. I did a quick fly by of the ribeyes...$60 for a 3 pack...(they were Choice and looked real nice) but sumbitch...$20 bucks for a steak THAT I HAVE TO COOK...nope.🙃
Dude, if you get a chance to try the potato brats up there in Iowa...fucking do it. Amazing.
7.79/doz in Long Beach today. I'll eat something else till the chickens go back to work.
Potato brats ok what are they mixed with ? Pork & beef & seasoning? The Wi. Germans & Polish hv a ton of secrets and procedures. On how to get a stronger flavor out of the beef & pork & seasoning . 1st Only local cattle fed alpha & corn . These goofy meat & cheese guys r all ovr the state. Pic Portage Wi.
Wis. = Sausage and Cheese Capitol of the U.S.
About a week ago, I bought a dozen and they were $8.59 ish.... Stupid high at that price. Here Costco had a major salmonella recall on eggs, could be part of it.
I need to find a local farm that sells em.... Love my eggs in the AM.
