X.
I was just at the grocery store; normal eggs are $10/dozen in Central California, where we have a lot of egg operations.
Here in Indiana eggs are $4-$5/dozen
$4 greater boston area.
I’m paying $4500/mo on my mortgage. I don’t give a fuck about egg prices. I give a fuck about the impending crash that is going to cost so many jobs. I give a fuck about my wife with a permanent resident card who if she leaves I have no idea if she’ll ever come back - assuming they don’t just strip her of it.
I have real fucking problems. Egg prices aren’t one of them.
4 to 8 bucks in Oakland, oddly enough, Safeways where all the mega price hikes are. You’d figure a general grocery store would have less but I guess the other spots buy local
Merced here, we’re smack in the middle of Cowlifornia, so I would’ve guessed our prices would come down first. I’ve seen local grocers here deadass selling loosies for a dollar. Wild that you guys are coming down before us, but I’m glad to see it.
That is weird, could be dependant on preexisting contracts or possibly bulk orders
