In my opinion, the key reason is California imposed its law on egg producers. Our eggs, coming from California, went up from $0.97 to around $5.00. Over the past year eggs everywhere are going up to the same since that worked so well for California. /s
“To date, about 5.76 million birds have been depopulated due to HPAI and 43.78 million have been commercial layers..”
That sentence will make sense if one shifts one of the decimals one decimal place—the question is, which one?
I don't know how widespread this is. But if many others did this, then the regulations lowered supply.
They can blame everything else under the sun, but the catalyst is California’s law and a bit of greed by everyone else.
and once prices go up they rarely go back down enough ‘to help the ‘poor’, the people the demonaRATS propose to help.
Soon restaurants and cafes will demand payment in advance for breakfasts. People will come up short or max out a credit card if they pay after the egg meals.
I paid $2.98 for a dozen large eggs (admittedly on sale for some reason) and $3.28/lb. for a bottom round roast (day before expire date) just yesterday here in TN. Gotta know where to shop.
Good catch.
“Ill take “Worst case scenario” for a thousand, Alex.”
Breakfast places will have to raise their prices. Same with bakeries.
Denny’s Grand Slam could put you in the SLAMMER!....................
Years ago I have a conversation with a member of a local egg farming family. He told me that if they had known how quickly real estate was going to rise, they wouldn’t have constructed their million-chicken egg factories (they had several). They would have waited a bit and sold the properties.
Here in DC area, beef (and all meat) prices went completely haywire since the pandemic. Used to be you could get a decent steak for $7, hamburger for $4, and a bottom round or london broil for about $3. Today, it’s more like $15, $8 and $7
That explains the direction they are taking in that remake of the ‘Rawhide” western TV series where Pauly Shore plays the part of Trail Boss Gil Favor and Paris Hilton replaces Clint Eastwood as the Ramrod, and chickens replace the cattle.
Denny’s....
Local one closed here.
Noticed the Employee of the Month picture on the wall had a row of numbers across the bottom.
😆
We average about $20-$25 a month plus a lot of table scraps feeding our 12 chickens and 2 ducks, we have eggs all year round and supply a bunch to family also. What the chickens don’t eat, the Goats will, but they get their share also
More price increases....
Right. How 40%+ of the electorate say they still support Slow Joe for President?
Eggs go into so much food.
Like gasoline when it went up, added to inflation for anything that is shipped by boat, plane, semi or delivery trucks. Or planted or harvested by machines on farms requiring fuel to work.
As: everything.
Back in the fifties, a casting director was interviewing Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds for the same part. Neither got hired. He told them they would never make it in Hollywood, and should look for another line of work..........
