I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.
I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don’t care for most other types of “easy” egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.
Tbh I don’t understand why people don’t just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.
Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.
As many as I feel like.
My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.
My son ate a ton of eggs when he was veg. Now he’s vegan and eats fake eggs which are much more expensive.
Around 12.
Eggs are incredible nutrition value and I’d still pay 12$ for 12 eggs. In fact I do splurge on local market eggs that come from free range chickens and here they are around 5$ for 12 which is double the factory price but still and an incredible steal.
That’s why the great American egg whine of 2024 is so confusing. Min wage in the US is still like 24++ eggs an hour which is an insane thing to complain about. Y’all need financial literacy not cheaper eggs.
Which US are you from that minimum wage is $24 an hour?
Avg 12 egg price in US seems to be around 4$ and federal min wage is 7.25$ and that’s extremely generous cause federal min wage is not even remotely representative of actual min wage. So 24 eggs / hour is the bare minimum an American earns.
It doesn’t matter cause no amount of math or finance logic will make you guys whine less.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying.
5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild
I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.
i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it’s about $1 per egg.
… hong kong $.
If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.
I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.
I’m vegan BTW
How do you know if someone is vegan?
Literally everyone else in this thread: “I’m not vegan! I think it’s fine to abuse animals.” But yeah, vegans are the ones who are always talking about it…
no one is fine with abusing animals
I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
Almost none. Allergies.
That sucks. Do you have to do egg free vaccines?
It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.
Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D
~30
I don’t really eat eggs. I have ducks that lay eggs and if I really want some, I eat what they produce. I might try selling their eggs as a side hustle but a lot of people are grossed out by the concept of eating duck eggs for some reason lol
How are they compared to chicken eggs?
Mostly yolk, a richer flavor, and GREAT for baked goods. My girls are a variety of breeds, so I get an assortment of different sizes. Used to get blue eggs from my mallard until she stopped laying when she hit duck menopause lol
Richer flavor, they have higher levels of fat and protein. I much prefer them to chicken eggs.
