How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?

[misterneon@lemmy.world]

My cholesterol is super high, so it's been an excuse to drop them from my diet for a couple months.

[ponyofwar@pawb.social]

Not at all. The only eggs I get are from a local chicken enclosure where my family helps out by feeding them once a week.

I'm becoming an inveg -- involuntary vegan

[nemo@slrpnk.net]

I mean, I pay more for eggs. That's it.

[dragonsinaroom@lemmy.world]

I can't get the cheapest eggs near me which is disappointing

[sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world]

I had to give up animal products and soy. At this point, I'd pay the $10/dozen if I could eat one without being sick.

[anintensemoist@lemmy.world]

I didn't realize, but same. Meat, besides chicken, is becoming more and more of a treat. Even then, I get stuff with bones and save them for stock. Not vegan, I know, but definitely much more plant focused than I remember being.

Since I have no idea what the price of eggs currently is or how it has changed ... I'd say not at all.

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

Yeah, it isn't like eggs are a massive part of my food costs.

The overall increase in food prices have more impact than one specific ingredient.

I'm not buying eggs for $17 a dozen. I got a flat for $33 that breaks down to $7 a dozen, my kids got real excited about it and ate them all in about a week and a half. They are teens so, they tend to eat everything in the fridge pretty quickly. Anyway. I'm thinking maybe I never but eggs again. maybe I'll buy a chicken.

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Nothing. My local area has a lot of chicken in peoples back yards.

[corno@lemm.ee]

Not much if at all. It's around $3 for a dozen eggs, not $10+ like in some places in the US right now.

[jjjalljs@ttrpg.network]

I don't buy eggs, so not directly.

Oh hell no! I'm a vegetarian because I hate animals. I heard about that guy, literal butter fingers.

[statler_waldorf@sopuli.xyz]

I'm part of a CSA with a small, local farm. The winter share was $5 a dozen for 2 dozen every other week. We'll see if the price goes up for the summer share.

Maybe I'm lucky to be in a city with tons of farms nearby, but I'd encourage others to look for local options like this.

[youngalfred@lemm.ee]

There are no eggs. Anywhere.

[misterneon@lemmy.world]

I'm going to start using that, I'm in a similar position.

[_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works]

I barely use eggs, maybe one or two every once in a while to make something but in the morning I'm in a hurry so it's breakfast shakes for me!

[spacenoodle@lemmy.world]

I eat fewer eggs
