#1 Laughing at even discount store prices and we are buying 18% to 20% less.

Recently took Store bought eggs @ $5.45 a DZ, when you can find them, off the shopping menu. Now buying eggs from a Hispanic neighbor for $2.50 dz, and he said he is making a profit at that price.

#2 ^ Yes. Your neighbor does not have the inflationary costs of licensing and shipping.

#3 We could eventually revert to a very local economy, the opposite of gerbilization. Hardest hit, big blue city, better than you (in their own minds) snobs.

#8 BTW: Why is it, America’s largest egg producer, saw a 600% jump in profits in the last quarter. IF their production costs have risen to the levels they claim, and were just passed on in the form of HIGHER egg prices?

#10 I seem to remember some companies raking in massive profits 2020-2021 aka during the Fauci Flu lockdowns as well.

It's all going according to plan.

#11 Just checked
The COVID-19 vaccines authorized by FDA are not manufactured using egg products or technology. So the 12.7 + billion C-19+ doses administered worldwide did not affect egg inventory.

However, the typical flu vax does.

#12 This is really not good news. Once inflation gets going, it is very hard to stop. The Fed is a bit late to the party, but they do appear to be serious. We'll know if they do increase rates at least 1/2 percent, as two of the governors hinted very strongly yesterday that they would.

Of course, all bets are off until after we see the February inflation numbers--the last before the Fed Open Market Committee meets again in March 20.

#13 Something I was pricing at $699 two years ago, priced at $799 two months ago, and now $849. No change in the formula. Formula and suggested price basically matched two years ago. Suggested price is now about 12% more than my formula price.
