The price of eggs is back down here

[Beachnutt]

[elleng]

1. Here too, but your prices better than mine,

$4 something.

[ItsjustMe]

2. Here in Fresno CA.

[Beachnutt]

3. That picture is in wal mart Arlington Tx

took it this morning.

[SheltieLover]

4. $3.50/doz. At Aldi last week.

Up from 78-cents/doz. Not long ago.

[Siwsan]

6. I paid around $2.80 at my Aldi

The price is higher at Kroger.

[SheltieLover]

8. Kroger is ridiculous with all their pricing, as is Walmart.

The only other 2 choices here, sadly. 😏

Btw, Aldi had the baseball kitty houses on another clearance last week for just under $5. I thought of you when I saw them.

[Siwsan]

10. My kitcats DESTROYED their baseball house!!

Arthur knocked out the window frames and chewed on the doorways. Then I think they got into a wrestling match INSIDE of the house and it collapsed. I still have it and might try a repair.

Carys LOVES the big 'egg' bed I bought at Aldi for the boys. It is grey so she thinks she blends in.

[SheltieLover]

12. Lol

It's sure not very sturdy. Lol

Arthur...

I put mine together & gave to the new little kitty who is living in a separate room. He's doing better, btw, now allowing me to pick him up & set him in my lap. And he will stay in my lap for a good 10-15 min. Rumbling like a freight train. Lol

[Siwsan]

16. Carys let me pick her up THREE TIMES today!

And she jumped up on my lap for some cuddles.

[SheltieLover]

22. Awwwwww

I'm considering asking the rescue to find him his own forever home.

He is like a sponge for attention & I only have so much time. I'm feeling like he deserves more. To be a constant part of daily life in a loving home & he's FIV+ & I have my senior rescue queen who HATES that there is another cat in the house. Sometimes she sits outside that bedroom door & just hisses at the new kitty. He doesn't seem to understand, as he just purrs in response.

Dunno what to do...

[niyad]

18. awwwwww

[niyad]

5. Not here. 3.49 dozen is the cheapest that I have seen. And there is something

weird when cage free organic brown eggs are cheaper at my Natural Grocers than at the local walmart.

[SheltieLover]

9. Walmart prices here are crazy high!

I didn't look at eggs, but a bag of bagels was nearly $5. At Aldi $1.98.

[niyad]

13. I noticed their higher prices on a number of things. 20# scoopable kitty litter

12.98 at wal-mart. 7.99 at King Soopers, for just one example.

[SheltieLover]

17. Everything is super expensive at Walmart here, too. Bagels were just 1 example.

Everything is super high priced there.

I wish I had more choices, but this red state is literally like living in a 3rd world country.

[niyad]

21. Their business model of running out the competition, and then screwing

everyone.

[SheltieLover]

24. Of course!

And people here have no choice.

The closest Aldi is 12 mi. Each way. But I go there.

[niyad]

33. Welcome to our DU family. I mainly shop at King Soopers, Natural Grocers

and Trader Joe's.

[SheltieLover]

37. There is a Trader Joe's here, but it's 30 mi. each way.

What'd I miss in the auto removed reply? Lol

[niyad]

38. a troll, apparently. Made a snarky comment about Hillary, but I doubt that was

what got it removed.

[SheltieLover]

39. Ooooh. Lol

Freaks. Her email?

Thx!

[niyad]

40. No. About her picture in my sig line.

[SheltieLover]

41. Weird.

Thx!

[niyad]

44. I had a feeling that poster would not last long.

[SheltieLover]

45. You have great instincts!

[niyad]

46. I'm psychic!

[SheltieLover]

47. I know!

😉

[BlackSkimmer]

7. I'm glad I have chickens.

I've seen them as high as 8.99.

[Beachnutt]

11. .21 cents an egg here

Ole red hen is dropping $ daily....

[BlackSkimmer]

26. Lol!

I've got an Ameraucana and an old lady Plymouth Rock. One lays a turquoise egg and the other a brown.

They're good layers...maybe we're working up to the proverbial golden egg

I haven't bought chicks in a few years; I wonder if the price has increased.

[niyad]

15. Several of my friends have chickens. But they are just starting to lay again. Still

winter here!

[BlackSkimmer]

28. Mine will often lay through the winter, but they tend to hide them during the cold months for some

reason. They're free range, so every day is an egg hunt. I've always enjoyed that, though it can be annoying if one of my dogs finds an egg first.

I adore my ladies.

[hippywife]

14. I buy them by the 18 count.

They've been $7.82 for a long time. They went down to $4.86 last week and now, they're $3.56. (These are WalMart prices. Hate shopping there, but not much choice.)

[TlalocW]

19. "Eggs are complicated"

"They should cost a hundred dollars each."

[BlackSkimmer]

27. All I can say as a longtime chicken owner, is that they are magnificent birds.

Ain't nothing "chicken" about them.

The eggs are a wonderful side bennie, but I just love my ladies.

[Beachnutt]

30. Show girls.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. Oh! Every bit of it!

Drama queens every one!

Although roosters (which I no longer keep) are much more of the dramatic in the fowl category lol!

[Amishman]

20. Makes sense, commodity price peaked two months ago

Though remains high

[niyad]

23. prices are continuing to rise. I see it every single time that I am in the stores.

[llmart]

25. Where are all the media stories about the price of gas???

I paid $2.98 a gallon yesterday. Not a peep from the media about how low the gas prices are. I'll bet if it were $.50 a gallon they would still not talk about it because it's more exciting to rile up the public about gas and egg prices!

[GP6971]

31. Welcome to DU. n/t

[SYFROYH]

34. My bougie eggs are back down to $5.99

But, oddly, they only went up to $7.99.

[Silver Swan]

42. With a couple of local store gimmicks

We got a dozen for 99 cents today!

[niyad]

48. Soooooo jealous!!

[Rhiannon12866]

43. I paid over $5 the last time I bought eggs, kept putting it off

But I didn't have many choices, there weren't a lot on the shelf where I usually shop.
