A dozen eggs for $1.45 last week???? You're an amazing shopper.

Where do you buy your fresh eggs from ?

I don’t even know what ‘close to normal’ means anymore…..

The farmers Market. You need to get there early. Life is too short for cheap eggs. I prefer fresh.

Last month the price of a dozen eggs in the US exceeded the cost of a pound of hamburger.

Eggs cost $4.82 a dozen while a pound of hamburger cost $4.64.

Winn Dixie has T-Bone or NY Strip Steak on sale for $5.99 a pound this weekend!!

We buy maybe a dozen eggs every couple of weeks $4.00 isn't hurting our pocket book.
Don't worry about restaurants they buy in bulk and receive a better price. Recently returned from Ct breakfast 3eggs, 6 pieces bacon, grilled home fries, toast, coffee $12.

San Diego California is even more expensive. $6.79 a dozen at Walmart. The price gouging is everywhere, not just all of Florida. Homosassa and Inverness (almost $5) are pricey too, just like Ocala. Eggs aren’t cheap anymore.

It's amazing how much of the general public doesn't realize that their local restaurants are almost never buying their food supplies at a retail store like Publix. I heard that really big customers like cruise ships are paying SYSCO even less than what they charge most companies.

That may be true but not too long ago those sdame 15 dozen eggs from Sysco to a restaurant were less than a dollar a dozen. It is all relative.

Where? Just walked out of Walmart and they were $4.00. Just got back from Colorado and they were $5.00+++. Wife was estatic. Aldi is $3.25

Nothing to worry about. Inflation is under control.
