Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

[monstrosity@lemm.ee]

Where I live, a city in the PNW, Fred Meyer (Kroger) cheap ass eggs are around $7. $7.50 at Safeway. Even Winco and Trader Joe's eggs are around $5/6 a dozen.

I'm not sure where you live, but I'm guessing it's less densely populated or has easier access to diary farms.

Or you shop online for food, which, no, I'm not doing that.

Say, is that the same CBS News who's parent company, Paramount, is currently in talks to settle a legal dispute with Heir Trump because he didn't like their accurate reporting about him so he sued?

Why yes, yes it is!

I'm in Denver as well, you can't find regular eggs in stock. The only thing I can find is the cage-free/brown egg stuff. So this price isn't too far off (especially for King Soopers (Kroger). I've seen price tags for as low as $5.50, but never in stock (this was at Trader Joe's).

I go to a local grocery store, end of last year a dozen eggs could be had on special (pretty regularly) for $1. I spent $4.50 for a half-dozen on sale... ($9/dozen). It came with a card that said Jubilant Julie is the bird of the month, LMAO. This was the cheapest option, including sold-out stuff.

My recommendation to OP is stop shopping at King Soopers and Safeway. Shop around, try out Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Target, etc. Or, better yet, find a local grocery store (Brother's Market, Max Market, Clark's Market, Sun Market, Syracuse Market to name a few). Not only will it probably be a better product for the same/less price, but you'll support a local business and you won't have to wait in line for 10+ soul-crushing minutes.

That's still high, assuming cad, but much better. It's around 6-8 'freedom' dollars down here is southern America.

Isn’t Kroger the one that got in trouble for “surge pricing”? Basically corporate whitewashing of price gouging. They also switched to e-price tags that would let them more quickly change prices.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

I get that, but regional egg prices aren't directly comparable without adjusting for the cost of living. I could prove eggs in my area cost a dollar but that gives you no info unless I say they used to cost 10 cents.

I'm not admonishing you, just saying you are both right basically

I know it's crude but I still can't kick my love for the idea of a "I raped that too!" Sticker

[quarterswede@lemmy.world]

Same in CO. They’re all out. That’s why egg prices are so stupid in Colorado.

[remembertheapollo_@lemmy.world]

I live outside a major metropolitan city for context in what many would view as an “expensive State.” CoL is not cheap.

That said, your second choice of “regional” is far more apropos than “anecdotal.”

Well that fucking sucks

Ate at 2 in Japan and loved it, asked for whipped cream on my pancakes and the dude very seriously emptied an entire can while staring at me. I tried to stop him, he did not listen

[agent641@lemmy.world]

They will have security tags in them soon

[phantom_engineer@lemmy.ml]

The latter. Nobody ever posts the store brand eggs and talks price about those.

If you try to get elected by blaming something on the currently elected official and say that you will fix that, be 100% prepared to take the blame if that thing gets worse even if it was something you had no control in whatsoever, because you stood up and took responsibility for it.

If you don't want to be blamed for saying stupid things, stop saying stupid things.

[sojb@lemmy.ml]

$11.99 per dozen for regular eggs at a CA Trader Joe’s.

Clown.

[greyeyedghost@lemmy.ca]

More like $4.

[asqapro@reddthat.com]

I still buy those eggs, the notes they put in are cute.

[elephantium@lemmy.world]

Your post prompted me to check -- at the "fancy" grocery store in town, I can get a dozen eggs for about $5. Same price at Aldi. Looking at Target, it's about $4.20.

Wait, what? I usually expect Target to be more expensive than other options in the area! Strange times.

[elephantium@lemmy.world]

How much can it cost, Michael?

[damnedfurry@lemmy.world]

You're lying.

Did you think nobody was going to check? lol

[damnedfurry@lemmy.world]

Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs

Uh...
