How much for eggs now?

[walterjay]

Prices have dropped quite a bit here. Seeing $4.99

It's also interesting comparing egg sizes between US and Europe, for example. A "large" US egg is about the same size as "medium" egg in Europe, weight wise.

This reminds me of the size of prawns and shrimps: large, extra large, jumbo, colossal, etc....

Yes, we would be way better off with many family farms growing food for 500 people rather than huge factory farm growing food for 5M people.

We can't grow the food we eat at the price we want without industrial farming in the scale we are today.

People expect low inflation when the cost go up, but the only way forward for the same price is to do so in industrial scale, or we would have gone famine these days. Human have been changing our farming practices and food types so much we don't always make it worse. A lot of our food today taste better than their ancient varieties as well (i.e. carrots, tomatoes).

And people are unhealthy, fat and die early.

Cross breading is different than GMO.

There is no free lunch. Pun intended.

We didn't have as much HFCS and transfat (I know it is banned now but it took quite a while) back then, and people work more labors than offices or even from home. It is not all about free range eggs vs special egg layer breed, or GMO corns.

People don't drink as much Starbucks Latte, and they smoke (hence reduced appetite).

Having grown up eating home grown stuff, I would be willing to pay more. Of course, I eat mostly fresh and very little carbs. I realize possibly most people wouldn't.

If you go to Europe or even Asia, farming, farm size, and farm equipment is much smaller. Overall they are much healthier. Chicken or egg - good question. Pun intended again.

But yes, if they took organic and put it into one of those frozen dinner concoctions, then it likely wouldn't matter.

My farmer friend just brought 6 goose eggs and 20 chicken eggs. We are on barter system. I change oil in his fleet and I get free eggs

At my local large supermarket for one dozen:

large: $8.69
Ex large: $8.74
Jumbo: $8.79

We bought jumbos for the first time. They don't fit well in our egg holder. A couple were super jumbo and very noticeably larger than the rest.

I always buy jumbos: you frequently get twins

We had one full twin and one conjoined twin. My wife was very excited. Lol

4.79 for 12, 9 almost 10 per 30. I buy the 30's.

I was just at our BJ's in South Carolina (actually NC - Charlotte Suburb) looking at same display. Interestingly, it was $19.99 for us.

That pineville BJs and Sam's absolutely suck.

Y'all getting a Costco I hear.

Yes sir!!! About 2 miles from us. Looking forward to it.

We were at BJ’s yesterday (April 5th) and got 24 eggs for $8.99. So, around $4.50 a dozen.
