I'm glad I don't have to complain about being too poor to buy what I need, I knew poor folks growing up that would keep their mouths shut tight before complaing they didn't have enough to eat.

It was called pride, today, its entitlements, you believe you are entitled to lower egg prices.

Well, to solve that, build a chicken coop and raise your own chickens and eggs, we did, and we have.

Teach a man to raise eggs, and he has all the eggs he wants.

Teach a man to beg and whine for eggs, and we have folks like you.

Ok, now we're back to all being farmers again. Lololol. MAGA is all over the place on this issue, and it's yet another reason it must be labeled a cult.

By the way, I never said I couldn't afford the eggs, so your little proverb there is irrelevant. Just saying that they are much more expensive under trump than they were under Biden.

trump said he would lower prices "on day one". It's now like day 250 and he hasn't done shit about shit. And I'll be here every day to remind MAGA of yet another broken promise from trump.

Naturally, MAGA now thinks it's the patriotic thing to do to pay higher prices for everything. Because of course they do.

I do love these vids. Show how far some prices have fallen in some places.

And in local news the GE prices are unchanged at $3.99 for Hillandale and $5.49 for Eggland's Best.

Has the Trump admin given up on the campaign promise? Seems so

They never cared about egg prices to begin with. It was just a manufactured outrage to secure the angry moron vote.

Another week in, another round of data

And another week of stagnant egg prices. Hillandale still $3.99 and EB still $5.49

Reasonable article on where eggs were and are, including some concerns as we head into fall when bird migrations pick up

Egg prices rose 10.9% in August on a year-over-year basis and were flat compared to the level seen in July. Overall, core inflation was up 2.9% year over year during the month.

The egg industry continues to be impacted byrecurring avian influenza outbreaks that have resulted in the culling of tens of millions of hens, reducing supply and driving up costs over the past year

Prices are down nearly 50% from the March 2025 peak but are still above year-ago levels, largely due to the effects of the avian flu, supply chain adjustments, and lingering supply constraints. The price of a dozen eggs in the U.S. reached historic peaks in early 2025, hitting as high as $8.17 per dozen in March due to widespread bird flu losses and supply shortages

Seems we're going to go into the fall without the Trump admin getting egg prices back to where they were when they started belly aching that prices were too high.

No change at GE since last check in. We have enough data points to show stagnation
