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?

[uis@lemm.ee]

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

[roguetrick@lemmy.world]

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.

[synopsistantilize@lemm.ee]

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.

[vinstaal0@lemmy.world]

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.

[legge@lemmy.world]

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

[runawayfixer@lemmy.world]

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.

Food is not taxed in the US. At least in my state.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

It'll be even more soon...

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

We’re only talking eggs here, this is not an indicator of general inflation.

We had that too so prices are higher over say five years, but as far as I know, general inflation is under control. The biggest problem there is all the price increases blamed on “global supply chain disruption” from a couple years back: why haven’t they gone away since the disruption has?

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

In any sane world, would something as specific as eggs drive politics? They also didn’t weigh in on how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-pop. That’s fine, they should be concerned about bigger things

In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.
