How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?

[pseudo@jlai.lu]

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

[psythik@lemmy.world]

Haven't affected my life one bit. It people weren't mentioning egg prices on Lemmy, I would have had no idea that there was a shortage.

Never understood everyone's obsession with eggs. There are so many other sources of protein out there.

Why is eggs being made into such a huge issue?

[sudoer777@lemmy.ml]

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.

They still cost 3 euro for 8 eggs, right?

[tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

People don't need them, they like them.

[atempuser23@lemmy.world]

I feel this joke needs an eggsplination for those that get it.

[jay4@lemmy.ml]

Either too rich to check prices or too broke to step into a store.

[tobogganablaze@lemmus.org]

I actually checked yesterday, it's $9.40 for a dozen.

[bigboismith@lemmy.world]

In Europe tho price off eggs are still stable. Even if they rise I live rural so I know some local egg producers so I'll always have access to cheap eggs.

[hadriscus@lemm.ee]

Locally they've gone up to 50cts an egg, because most chicks died in last month's cyclone.

[tacosplease@lemmy.world]

A little bit yeah. Really just all food is a lot more expensive.

I used to not have to check my bank account. Now my savings account is slowly shrinking. And it's almost entirely because of the cost of food.

Inflation sent me from adding to savings each month to pulling from it instead. Just hope my wife or I get a decent promotion before the savings run out I guess.

[jadensmith@sh.itjust.works]

Ive always spent a bit extra for a certain brand of eggs, which I prefer, so I haven't noticed a great deal of difference if I'm honest.

Can't be skimping on good egg.

[nothacking@discuss.tchncs.de]

Not at all. Eggs were never a significant experience to begin with.

[djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I really like eggs, but I walk to my grocery store and back, and often bump the fuck outta whatever I buy. After the first accident, I've not bought eggs in a real long while.

[revonult@lemmy.world]

I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)

[masto@lemmy.masto.community]

It’s reminding me that most people don’t see the forest for the trees.
