#1 Have seen egg prices go from $1.43 a dz for a Large Dz, to $4.58 for the same. That's a 220% increase.

Have seen baking hens go from $4.95+/- to $12+ in Igels, Food Lions, Wally-World, and some stores, that's a 142.4% increase.

A few weeks of this and the losses will be made up and the profiteering continues.

BTW: the best price on eggs around here is Lidl', Aldi's competitor. $2.85 vs. $4+

SNIDE COMMENT ON
I see the article saying, which is 25% higher than at the beginning of November.

My 1st thought was... Did this person figure out my SSA 2021-2024 COLA's also?

#2 Was watching a show about Bismark and Tirpitz, and it was like each one of those ships would cost $1.2Billion in todays value. Hold up, wait a minute, what year was this made? 2014. I feel like in 2024 Brandon Dollars it would be around $2Billion each (before any MIC and Big Guy surcharges).
