I went to whole foods last night and was able to get a dozen “organic” large dozen eggs for $5.99. Not that there weren’t more expensive options, but it makes me doubt the “wholesale” pricing was $7.50 unless as I alluded to in a previous comment, the stores are subsidizing them as a loss leader.
Why would the current administration do that though? These prices are straight from the Department of Agriculture. They show a 30% increase in price between 1/3 and 2/7. That can’t be good press
I don’t understand your question. Why would the current administration do what? Also I don’t believe I brought up anything related to the current administration. I am only speaking with regards to the prices that I have seen in person that do not reflect what an article says and used my area as an example.
Midwest is a pretty big ‘exact area’ to call it cherry picked. I haven’t particularly paid attention to the price recently but it was just a few years ago I recall them being less than $2 so even $5 is a pretty big increase.
Convenient that I happen to be in MN too then. Out in the corn fields they’re certainly up. Like I said, generally I don’t pay attention to things specifically, more the aggregate total that for me has stayed pretty much within $100 range of any given month to month without any major changes to habits.
They went up near me and my wife and I are looking at straight up eggs as more a luxury and prioritize their use in baking. We went organic pasteur raised and would rather cut back than lose that nice dark yolk flavor.
I got a dozen eggs this weekend for just under $5 in this exact area. This feels like cherry picked ragebait.
Just saw a dozen for $9 here

The specific place they mention and take a pic of was a Cub in Minneapolis, which is what I was referring to.
