The consumer is screwed and again with wings already at $4.40lbs. We can only guess what the prices for eggs and etc... will be in the next few months.

BTW: Since it takes about 5 to 6 months from a chick hatching to laying an egg. Which means by December we should be back to normal. But the egg and poultry prices will likely remain inflated for another 6 months to a year.

#7 Mayo $5 dollars Dollar General, 5 gallon tub mayo $138. Dollars(restaurant food service supplier). Chain grocer $8.00 dollars a jar. 1 and 1/2 dz $8.00 dollars- eggs. Oils expensive or out of stock. Chips prices going up dramatically. No effort to fix anything. Biden just asks for more money. He helped UK and two other countries with our national reserves. Supplied at reduced prices we will never see here in this country. So gas shortages next and higher prices. They only seem to do everything wrong.

#11 ^#9 Yes, Convenience chain stores increased gallon milk price $1/gal. They normally sold 30 gallons over a weekend. Then after increase sales dropped to 9 gallons. Where food stamp usage was high, store sales volume of milk gallons remained unchanged.
