Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

It's without but food products in Colorado are taxed at a very low rate around 3 percent unless you're on SNAP ("food stamps"), in which case food isn't taxed.

So, worst case scenario (in Colorado, specifically) on a $4.99 egg purchase you may also see an additional 15 cents in tax.

Some states do not differentiate in the tax percentage applied to foods versus other products so in those places it's not out of the question to see sales tax of 10 percent or so...

In Colorado Springs, I'm seeing Eggland's Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth "Kipster Large" eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.

While these prices are certainly high compared to what we're used to, it's definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I'm seeing online.

I can't imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.

Colorado law only allows for cage free eggs as of January 1st of this year and had mostly already been all that's available here prior to this bird flu epidemic for maybe 6ish months and prices were not increased significantly as a result.

Regardless, this picture represents an extreme and not the least expensive eggs available at this particular store.

Oh you’re misunderstanding me. I’m not saying corporations started being greedy over the last 5 years. I’m saying that they turned up the dial as far as they could. They’ve always been greedy.

By greedy I mean they have to extra t value for shareholders. Then you have pensions, UK at least, tied to the stock market making it almost impossible to change the system due to the fact we need to account for the elderly and we refuse to increase taxes by a substantial amount on obscene wealth.

We got cage free organic at 6.19/dozen here in Ohio. This seems a localized high

I, for one, am excited for the true Americans to start laying eggs.

I was wondering why they were the only option, figured they were just the ones not hit by bird flu

Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.

Mine have a 20ftx10ft run that's covered, and I leave the gate open so they can go out when they want and explore the woods behind. It's an acre lot that I just rent half the duplex. Neighbors on all sides like them. They all get free eggs. One neighbor got yelled at by his wife though because he was buying food for them to put over by his truck so theyd come around more and hang out, which means of course they are more likely to shit near where they park there vehicles.

What are you using to print stickers, I've been wanting to do the same but can only find quite expensive machines to do it.

Ah, you got me.

Okay my turn, since I mentioned it. Hahaha

The terminology on the various bird conditions is frustrating and confusing. Cage free can effectively be exactly what you described - entirely indoors, crammed in and miserable, but not in cages. Free Range birds must have "access to the outdoors" but that can be as small as a hole they can stick their head out of but not go through. It's honestly ridiculous.

If you buy grocery store eggs, I would recommend looking for the Certified Humane stamp on eggs and other farm products and meats. While the conditions they require are still far from idyllic, they are better than the general standards most livestock exist in. For chickens, pasture raised certified humane is a good option as birds must be let fully outside into the pasture, must have a minimum of 10 square meters per bird when out there, and must be allowed out for a minimum of 6 hours per day. At least in these conditions, they can reasonably be birds and touch grass. There are a lot of other requirements as well, including perches and dust baths. Ideally if you can afford the extra couple of dollars, these are good companies to support. (There are also other 3rd party companies that certify pasture raised eggs, the Certified Humane one is just most common in my area).

I actually just use Sticker Mule.

But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!

So I agree that food in the US is 100% run by monopolies. Just look at Tyson. What I'd like a source for though personally, is your claim that these monopolies have "had it in the playbook for thirty years" to punish voters for not voting Republican. That specific part is the aspect that I think you actually need to source. It's quite a claim.

Thanks for that, prices seem quite reasonable

Wouldn't it be great if this was the impetus for people going back to raising animals and growing some of their food for themselves? Almost everyone has room for a garden, even if it's just a window sill for some fresh herbs. And raising even some of your own food can save you a ton of money.

Or you can take advantage of the rising egg prices to sell them for $9.99/dozen to your neighbors, whatever. Be the neighborhood eggpin. Lead your own fowl empire to dominance over the local Whole Foods.
