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.

    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.

        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.
