Since the price of eggs was a major factor in re-electing the felon (not that a complete lack of understanding of inflation or what drives it and a complete lack of curiosity to learn new things was a factor), I plan on tracking the price of eggs at my local SW PA grocery store.

We buy 18 eggs at a time - I make my own English Muffins and love egg sandwiches. Plus I've come to enjoy Dutch Babies and make those at least once a month. In short, we eat eggs in this house and will be buying them with frequency.

I'll update this with each new purchase.

January 23 - $7.99
February 1 - $8.29

1. I got a dozen of egg-lands best jumbo for $5.99 in Delaware.

Three of them were double yolk. That makes six meals for me, a dozen jumbo eggs. So it works out to a dollar meal, that’s that’s less than I pay for fruit and stuff

3. I've taken to Jumbos

when I saw some were cheating on the egg size grading.

This week as the grocers case evaporated .

2. It wold help if you put your location, I saw 3.99 at Wegman's in Binghamton NY area yesterday.

4. I got 18 eggs

for $4.99 in MA, and the case was packed with those 18-egg cartons, rather than 12. Very strange.

5. The coverage of this has changed

Now the coverage of egg prices is lead into with Bird Flu, before it was just being reported as part of Biden's Inflation. The bird flu has been a problem for years now.

11. One of the subtler goalpost moves...

Of course, the retort we should use is "how can we address this with the shutdown of the NIH?"

It's a goddamn full time time with weekends to keep up with these assholes.

13. The media

I am heartened that DUers have most realized the media works for the billionaire class who picked Trump to be our President. Knowing how full of shit they are is step 1.

14. Is it weird that I eat eggs about every two months or so?

It seems everyone but me eats them all the time. Am I missing out?
