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.

Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.

And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.

Me, 10-18. 2 per work day for egg Sammy. Then weekends depend on omelets and other meals depending on recipe. 10 minimum tho. Brother has 1 more chicken than his family eats eggs so if anything I buy less eggs than most households per month.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Varies a lot. Sometimes weeks can go by without me eating a single egg. But when I start, I go hard. It's not unheard of that I go through an entire carton as a late night snack with boiled eggs.

I haven’t had eggs since they were $2/dozen, so zero in like 8+ months, but when I have eggs (starting chickens and quail) I’ll be eating probably 2-4/day. When they were cheap I was averaging 3/day, including baked goods and such.

I really don’t eat much meat (can’t afford that either, but my digestive system doesn’t do well with a lot of meat anyway), and my mushroom cultures are taking foooooooorrrrrreeeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrr, so.. need protein somewhere.

When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

About the same here. I think sprouts had large cage free for $4 this week.

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Zero now that the price has gone up.

A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.

Tends to be around 4 per week, I'm just one person and eggs are usually a weekend breakfast thing for me.

But.. I also try to budget meals to be close to $1, so I might just stop buying eggs if a dozen get to $6+ (around me they have been in the $5-$8 range for now)

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Zero because I don’t have chickens and fuck animal abuse.

You eat another species’ menstruation? Byyyyye

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Lol what? I didn't say that. Are you suggesting that you eat human menstruation? I hope it's at least consensual.
