How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?

[nitefox@sh.itjust.works]

They still cost 3 euro for 8 eggs, right?

[tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

People don't need them, they like them.

[atempuser23@lemmy.world]

I feel this joke needs an eggsplination for those that get it.

[jay4@lemmy.ml]

Either too rich to check prices or too broke to step into a store.

[tobogganablaze@lemmus.org]

I actually checked yesterday, it's $9.40 for a dozen.

[bigboismith@lemmy.world]

In Europe tho price off eggs are still stable. Even if they rise I live rural so I know some local egg producers so I'll always have access to cheap eggs.

[hadriscus@lemm.ee]

Locally they've gone up to 50cts an egg, because most chicks died in last month's cyclone.

[tacosplease@lemmy.world]

A little bit yeah. Really just all food is a lot more expensive.

I used to not have to check my bank account. Now my savings account is slowly shrinking. And it's almost entirely because of the cost of food.

Inflation sent me from adding to savings each month to pulling from it instead. Just hope my wife or I get a decent promotion before the savings run out I guess.

[jadensmith@sh.itjust.works]

Ive always spent a bit extra for a certain brand of eggs, which I prefer, so I haven't noticed a great deal of difference if I'm honest.

Can't be skimping on good egg.

[nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de]

Not at all. Eggs were never a significant experience to begin with.

[djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I really like eggs, but I walk to my grocery store and back, and often bump the fuck outta whatever I buy. After the first accident, I've not bought eggs in a real long while.

[revonult@lemmy.world]

I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)

[masto@lemmy.masto.community]

It’s reminding me that most people don’t see the forest for the trees.

[atomic@sh.itjust.works]

Damn, I just bought 12 eggs for 2 Euro. (2.1 if we want to be exact)

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.ml]

I stock up when I see them at a reasonable price. They'll last a few weeks.

[p1k1e@lemmy.world]

Like eggs, but I can live without.

[ultragigagigantic@lemmy.ml]

Like all rising living expenses, it is crushing me. Not that you really care, you want EZ points to style on the republicans.

These gotchyas, slams, and owns does not make my rent lower or raise my wages.

[flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works]

This is brilliant - one quality rant, for sure.

Egss are a metric, which people are focusing on but they're forgetting whybits a useful metric ('cos it's protein that's cheaper than meat and a useful building block of a lot of foods)

[elorie@lemmy.world]

Eating a few less, but I'm lucky to have my father-in-law who raises chickens nearby. His girls are laying prodigiously right now, and I've not had to buy eggs in months as long as I pay attention.

The shelves at my local stores are nearly empty however. I used to buy the expensive grain-free ones anyway. Because good eggs vs not are like comparing fresh vegetables to canned ones - you know they are related, but distantly.

[chexmax@lemmy.world]

Because normally eggs are very cheap, very easy, and very healthy. When you're broke and living off pasta, beans, and rice, eggs are something you make that you feel good about feeding yourself and your family. Anybody can make good scrambled eggs, and those two eggs in the morning can get you through until you get back home after work.

I can't explain everyone's obsession, but mine is easy to explain:
I want to feed my baby two eggs most days of the week. They're clean, she enjoys them plain, they're easy for her to chew, they're very quick, and there's no question on whether they cooked long enough. I hate the taste of eggs but I ate them non-stop through my pregnancy and now as I breast feed. You can't beat them for efficiency. Some days those two eggs are all I eat until dinner time.

They're also crazy versatile! Scrambled, eggs-in-a-basket, hard boiled, French toast, over easy, runny on toast with a tomato slice, egg salad.
