    Eggs used to be $1.99/dozen. Now, even the cheap grocery stores they’re $9.99

    Here’s Aldi:

      I know that eggs are very expensive in US recently. However, I can very easily do without eggs in my usual diet and I know nobody who buys eggs in such quantities as Americans seem to do.

      So what do you all eat? Pancakes every morning? Or fried egg? Or do you love baking so much? I’m just curious btw.

        Yeah man, as an American, I don’t fucking get it either.

        I think it’s just an extension of the “American exceptionalism” bullshit. When a food staple supply decreases for whatever legitimate reason, instead of simply adjusting their diet (even if temporarily) to account for it, they refuse to change.

        Because this is America, and it costs $1.99 for a dozen eggs GODDAMN IT, and it’s my god-given right as an American to pay no more than that, regardless of actual material conditions
