The Complaint Thread

My wife was at the grocery store today and said eggs were $10/18. They're cheaper at Costco, when they have them.

candukid Maybe wrecking the economy is his plan to bring down the cost of eggs.

Spartan I would never pay that for them, to be sure. Last time I was in the grocery store, they were just under $6. And they had tons of them, more than they usually have out.
No one was buying. Key.....to bringing prices down.

I already had some from another source for under $4/dozen.

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.

. You don’t miss a fucking thing do you

Our next door neighbor gives us a dozen eggs for free anytime we want some. They keep chickens at a ranch they own.

That's not the worst part for me. 1 eye is now near-sighted, the other far-sighted. I don't even know how I can be typing words that are spelled correctly. I have to go back several times and edit.
Tried taking 1 lense out of my glasses, but the new eye overrides all things on Earth.
Can't wait til next Tuesday.

I'm lucky in the fact that after any surgery I've had no pain whatsoever. I do have the pain prior though, for sure.
You'll be back swingin in no time. Hang in there.

...And, you'll turn into a hawkeye before too long.
