Eggs are 10.99 in denver.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?
-
My understand is mostly a bird flu but also inflation.
-
The prices are caused by inflation, massive cullings of infected hens with bird flu, and just the area you live in. Where I'm at, eggs are $4.50 USD/dozen at the moment. They've been higher though.
-
In Germany, you can't even buy eggs from cage farming anymore.
-
Upstate NY and a dozen is between 8-9 dollars last I looked.
-
Egg colour is down to genetics - some breeds, eg leghorn, lay white eggs. Others lay various shades of brown. It's what's inside that counts, and that depends a lot on what you feed a chicken.

lol. It’s only been 11 days of his presidency

The cheapest available option can differ a lot due to different animal welfare regulations. Caged eggs are the cheapest but they already are or will soon be unavailable in Europe and a few states in America.
The second cheapest is perchery eggs, which is probably available everywhere, so it'd be better fora direct comparison even if the specific regulations differ somewhat.

Wow. I saw people mentioning this on another thread and I posted that we can get 15 Medium Free Range Eggs in the UK for $3.37. Could find cheaper than that if I shopped around.
-
Actual inflation or inflation mixed with greedy price increases?
-
for organic eggs
I would like to see mineral eggs.

Got a 18 pack from Penny the other day for about 3 or 4 euro. Only thing I miss about American grocery stores are the variety but fuck all that if you can't afford the majority of it
-
In this case it's a commodity so that's actually hard to do.
-
Why not both?
-
You mean Rocks?
-
Duodecimal is objectively better and that's why commoners used it.
-
Yep I'm near Delaware so we have all the chicken farms at least near us. And our eggs are $4.5 for a dozen.
-
Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.
-
Definitely some greed. One grocery store here charges 50% more than the other just because (imagine: it's a Kroger owned store). Neither store is a discount or lower-end store either. Ridiculous
-
Caged is already no longer available where I live, so the price I gave is for perchery eggs, medium sized. I would have added that it was for perchery, but I only learned that word 5 minutes ago from your post ;). In the last few years when caged eggs were available, a 6 pack of perchery eggs usually was the same or almost the same price as caged. I remember the price difference being so insignificant that I always bought perchery.
But there's bound to be so many regulatory differences, that probably even the perchery label will have different rules. And some of those labels are pretty empty. So imo for a simple comparison, it's still best to just compare cheapest with cheapest of the same size and ignore labelling/marketing.
