Everything costs too much. Get off my lawn.
The Complaint Thread
Just have to figure the total cost of a meal(breakfast?) with eggs. They would be a cheap item even at these prices. IF eating at home.
My wife used to love the 'ready to eat' bacon....did not want to fry the raw, just nuke a few seconds. I noticed it last time as I was passing it by....used to be around $4.99/pkg.. Now was almost $13!!
Eggs are still cheap. They used to be around $1.69.
I'll bet no one's complaining about bacon though, so I'm off base.
Par4QC Does anyone complain about the cost of a pack of gum today?
I complained to my wife the other week about that. We’re in line and she grabs a little container of gum. It was like $4.50… ( quite possibly more than the eggs we bought). I was shocked…. I said.” WTF…$4.50 for fuckin gum???” She ignores me
Youse guys are getting hosed down there in the land of (almost) free.
And here I thought he was gonna bring down the cost of groceries instead of wrecking the economy.
My wife was at the grocery store today and said eggs were $10/18. They're cheaper at Costco, when they have them.

This is CAN dollars. So less than $2.80 US
candukid For eggs at least, the price has dropped sharply in the past two weeks.
candukid Last month I did something I've never done, bought the extra large eggs. They were not all that much higher than the large and I just wanted to see what was different. When I went to use a couple those things were huge! Then when I cracked the 1st one, it had double yolks. Ended up with 4-5 like that in the dozen.
So, freebies.

Dropped sharply to 8 bucks a dozen? Still drastically overpriced in my opinion.
Corporate greed.
Par4QC I was making an omelet yesterday and used the last x-large egg I had and two large eggs. When cracked into a bowl side-by-side I was a bit startled to notice that the yolk of the x-large was at least 50% bigger than the large ones next to it.
Walterjn Yeah, but you guys have the nice weather.
johnnydoom It will settle down. But maybe not if people keep paying what they are asking now. Demand and all that.
Last time prices on eggs jumped, it only lasted a month before they were back to 'normal' prices. At least in my area. Went from $7 back to under $2.
Yesterday I was out in shorts and a t-shirt.
Fuck this shit!
Our next door neighbor gives us a dozen eggs for free anytime we want some. They keep chickens at a ranch they own.
