Egg panic in my area.

[Hall]

In TJ, Mexico now, just got 32 eggs for a little under $5 US. Too bad they don't keep like oil. No shortage of any kind. 2 miles away in the US there is a panic. Wild

Apparently the bird flu can't cross 'the wall' so eggs are safe there ! Makes you think the price-gouging is just artificial after all, huh ?

Costco put a limit of 3 egg cartons per customer lol.... It's unreal here.

$5.49 dozen today. I checked several cartons, many had cracks on bottoms. I’m only eating one per day now.

Eggs remain a cheap food when considering the cost to nutrient ratio. My wife and I are still eating 5-6 daily between the two of us.

Restaurants were paying under $2 a dozen for eggs when buying by the flat. So even if they trippled that is $6 per dozen, but there charging there customers an EXTRA $6 per dozen. Margin improvement program.

Even the narrative around the CPI today has to do with eggs - even though the weighting in the proverbial basket is literally less than 2/10ths of one percent total.

The whole world is one big egg grift.

Just went to my local Costco. The sign there said "limit 3 eggs per customer". Seemed to be missing something.

But the price for 5 dozen large white eggs was $17.99.

It's a perfect scheme for them though. The news is all about "bird flu" and how expensive eggs have become, so they can easily jump on this and raise prices on their eggs or items that include eggs and then say "but it's only 50c". People accept it.

Are you going to eat 32 eggs in one sitting before crossing the border? Raw eggs are a prohibited item as per USCBP.

Bird flu, Avian bird flu, a few years ago it was monkey pox which didn't take off. The name was changed to M-pox and still didn't catch. This whole scenario is like watching professional wrestling.

I was in a Hy-Vee yesterday, and ended up getting the last dozen eggs. Beyond weird to see a whole section empty.

Wife and I go through about a dozen every two weeks or so. I haven't had any real issues getting eggs here in NoVA. Harris Teeter seems to not have any when I've gone there but Wegmans, while not fully stocked, had plenty the two times I've gone there for some.

When I can't get my weekly Egg McMuffin from McDonald's on Saturday mornings, then I'll complain about it being the end of days.

That is not an egg you are eating at McDonald’s, that is yellow dye #4, with a Shore A #6 polyether synthetic gellprominat for the yellow part. The white part is white dye #53, Shore A #7 polyether synthetic gellprominat.

The employee cafeteria put up a sign: $2.00 surcharge per egg, $2.50 per egg-white per food item.

I am aware. They are not for an afternoon snack. Just stating that it's odd that a couple miles away it's business as usual.

Still crazy though…..

I'm more concerned at that UAP egg retrieval whistleblower than the edible variety. Egg supply is plentiful in the Upper Midwest area.
