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.

About 14. I'm not particularly price-sensitive about it given the absolute cost is low relative to many food options.

Eggs keep getting cited by people trying to blame their political opponents for increases in food prices because they have increased to about 2.5x from five years ago, which is a bigger increase than most foods. The bulk of the increase is due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, but that fact doesn't seem to have great distribution among the general public.

I just don't really like the taste, so about 1 per week in my fried rice.

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Somewhere between 4 to 8, depending on how productive we are in the morning.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

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.

Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D

[–] lath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

As many as I feel like.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

Cause eggs are in fucking everything.

I haven't eaten eggs in a decade, they're surprisingly easy to avoid.

There are vegan egg substitutes like a flax egg. Here's my favorite waffle/pancake recipe.

[–] threshold_dweller@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

My pancakes never use eggs, but waffles so.

About 12 every 2 days on my keto diet. I buy 18packs for like $5

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There! I've been looking for a demographic upon which to lay blame, and here you are!

Keto!?! It's been the keto bros all along? Hoarding all those delicious eggs for your own woke ass diet? No wonder eggs are so pricey.

Jk. Good luck with the diet though. And try not to fart in any enclosed spaces!

8-12. They ~~are~~ were inexpensive, versatile protein.

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Whatever gets put in pad Thai once a week.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As many as possible. It's one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was afree egg job. Farm? Breakfast restaurant?

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

breakfast restaurant indeed

[–] maxmalrichtig@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.

And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
