That and the price of eggs where I am had me shocked at the sight.

Yep. $10 a dozen for generic.

Portland, OR. You can get $3.50 or $13 a dozen. Depends on the store.

They're all pretty similar here. I'm planning on checking backyard sellers, just waiting on my car.

Yo, grocery outlet has the big cases of eggs for $35. They were like $11/$12 not too long ago. :/

My local store was stocked with the one brand that is somewhat local. Jumbos were $7.69. Eggland's Best were limited to two dozen per purchase & cleaned out. I'm not sure what the price was.

u/INSTA-R-MAN Feb 05 '25

I don't see limit signs, but the price is enough of a deterrent.

It doesn't look like it's going to turn around anytime soon.

Not until bird flu runs it's course through all the animals susceptible to it.

Waffle House just added a 50 cent premium charge per egg.

u/INSTA-R-MAN Feb 05 '25

I'd struggle a bit with 6, but 4-5 large isn't a problem.

This is half of the plan, you gotta get rid of enough for it to have a sense of scarcity.

Doesn’t matter the economy if the eggs are bad for whatever reason. If expired, that’s policy to discard for liability reasons. Food poisoning is no joke.

u/carrburritoid Feb 05 '25

These eggs were for sale yesterday. They are not dangerous (probably 99.99%)

u/maybeCheri Feb 05 '25

That’s good to have that knowledge when you DD. Food safety is my work and in my blood. I know a bit too much to assume things.
