Question Wow. $6.99 for a dozen eggs? Good thing we don't eat very many.

mypeez : If you want them extra large, organic, pasture raised, hand gathered by vestals before the **** crows... yeah.
 
@Mahkno : So kind of like the people who complain about the price of 91 octane gas when they are really buying 87 octane, Emoticon.

Price surge to record levels due to bird flue
 
Hand gathering by vestals in the wee hours of the morn is extra...

My wife got a dozen large eggs at Pekin Kroger the other day. Obviously they were more pricey, but they certainly weren't $6.99.

Expect eggs to go back up. There was another case of Avian flu that took down another couple million birds. Dec. 29, 2022, KOAA in Colorado Springs reported "If you've had trouble finding eggs at your local grocery store, you're not alone. Stores around the nation are experiencing a shortage, and have for some time. The primary reason is a spreading avian flu, reducing poultry flocks while driving up the price of eggs. In Colorado alone, some 6 million chickens have been euthanized".

@mypeez : Yes, but I'm sure the all the eggs we consume just don't come from Illinois.

The finale of Season 2 was awesome. Season 3 just swiped the slate as if the world hadn't just ended. WTF?

right before Thanksgiving Sam's had 7.5 dozen for $10.72 and right next to it was 2-18 packs for $10.27.
 
Wish I had bought several of the 7.5 dozens. Ugh
