How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?

If you can't do full keto, skip rice and use lentils. They have a lot of fibre and protein. They will make you feel full the next day also due to fiber. Some are 20% protein but the ones I can get locally are 30% protein.
For us the brown ones are a substitute for dishes that want ground beef. Like a meatloaf, or chilli. The red ones break down nicely in a thickened soups and stews.You can get lentil flour from Indian stores, for trying out recipes that ask for wheat flour. Takes some adjusting.

... how many quail eggs are needed to make a decent sized omelet anyway? A dozen?

WE EAT EGGS

I haven't looked at egg prices in over five years. Are they getting more expensive?
I hope they get so expensive that no one buys them anymore.

A little more expensive, no biggie.

The worst possible place to live ever! Ridgecrest, CA! Our sales tax is the highest in three counties, out cost of living matches the trendiest neighborhoods in LA and NYC! We have a military base that's all engineers, and we're an half hour from Death Valley! We get the hottest recorded tempatures on record every summer! We're one of the most earthquake prone locations in the world, we live in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevadas, and off base average income is worst then any other rural location! Our school bus drives are paid less than half of every single school district in the nation! And everyone's a racist piece of shit republican! Yee haw!

Well, I am from here, and I do actual like most things about living here, but it's not going to work out much longer. Seriously our fast food locations upped their prices so high with greedflation that no one is bothering anymore. They put up ''now accepting EBT" that's food stamps, at all of them to try and get people back. It's crazy. There's an adittude in town of ''you all work at the base making 6 figures you can pay double for everything! Plus it costs at least $60 in gas to drive out of town to do anything, so if you want it done in town we're charging $60 extra because fuck you'' and that's always been the case, nothing new, but add inflation and stagnant wages, it's pretty fucking crazy. -
I've had to buy a few eggs since my chickens stopped laying for the winter but hopefully in a month or two I won't have to buy.

Also eggs retail have consentrate most of today retail malpractice.I'm not from the USA btw.

I'd love to see your snake possibilities. Slithering, constricting and dislocating your jaw.

I would love to see it too. Eggs swallowing, egg laying... Unfortunatly, I don't have snake. I meant snack.

Not at all, I don't eat eggs

Checkmate I'm vegan so I don't have to worry about that. My spouse used to work in a winery that had a chicken coop and bring home many boxes of eggs for free before I went vegan, and you could keep them on the counter. Room temperature fresh eggs beat grocery store eggs by a million years for cooking with, go to a farm and buy a few boxes, they keep a very long time, and learn how to make Frank Prisinzano's crispy egg recipe.

Not at all. I don't eat eggs. Never knew the prices went up (beyond just general inflation) till I saw this post.

Staple breakfast food. Also used in plenty other meals. Ramen, etc. Just a very common food in people's diets so people are less likely to forgo them, like milk and bread.
And they're a lot more expensive than they have been so people notice and use it as an indicator of rising prices.
