I bought some last week. Given the current trend, I'll just keep them for 3-5 five years to sell'em with lotsa profit

I saw eggs in the local Trader Joes for the first time in about a month.

That's what you get fore concentrating your egg farms in super-factory farms

[The Mad Monk]

Eggs at the Costco in Lenexa, Kansas, are going for about $6.50 per 18 eggs as of today. Limit 3 cartons. Still plenty there, haven't seen the lines reported elsewhere.

I never saw egg prices go up at Costco.

Yesterday I saw eggs for the first time in about a month at Trader Joe's.

The 60 we got for 37 from Walmart and the 12 we got for 7 from some Hispanic store (which claimed better connections to suppliers, and seemed to demonstrate it) were all we could find for a couple of weeks (before that we got at Whole Foods one of 6 for 12 which was standard for that brand there)..

We eat a lot of eggs because I am mostly vegetarian (I have salmon or similar fish a few times a month, I started this last year, I think it will improve my health) and one of my daughters are allergic to dairy and peanuts. So eggs are usually a cheap, easy, and friendly to everyone protein.

We will probably go to Costco next week, but I don't think we need eggs yet (we bought some at Whole Foods after the Walmart / Hispanic store purchase). I expect to be back to buying 60 once or twice a month for 9-10 though.

Get Just Eggs from whole foods instead. 100x healthier and taste almost the same.

[Jon Miller]

When we bought at Walmart they hadn't had eggs at Whole Foods for over a week.

We normally buy 1-2 carton of 60 from Costco a month and then some 12 or 18 egg cartons from Whole Foods.

We eat a lot of eggs (but still less than 240 a month, which would be 2 per person per day).

Oh, you mean there is a product called Just Eggs.

What is it?

We go with Cage Free and Organic, how is Just Eggs healthier?

JM

[EPW]

It's an egg substitute, made from beans. I think they rebranded to "eggs from plants"

[EPW]

how is Just Eggs healthier?

Mostly by not being eggs:

[Jon Miller]

Eggs seem to fluctuate between healthy and not healthy. I think they are currently healthy.

I will check out Just Eggs. We eat a lot of beans (lots of Dal, but also lots of Tex-Mex and bean curries and we keep trying to make baked beans part of our standard breakfast (not just eggs + toast)).

It's very funny to watch as the trumpists watch prices go higher

[Bereta_Eder]

I have a local producer from megara that I buy it from
there is a laiki (meaning something like "popular (female)"

it is a big open market for vegetables and fish and other things that (can ) come straight from the producer. You're buying from the farmer. they are cheap and they are very healthy even in Greece where everything is a priori healthy

and iut's nomadic, it;s in different neighborhoods (mutliple of them) each day (barring sunday the day of the LOORD)

In today's local shopping tour eggs didn't seem to be much of a prob, but coffee prices have jumped quite a bit
