I have not bought any eggs in about a year or so. The price of food keeps increasing and this is one of the more egregious examples. Sure there’s the bird flu outbreak, but I wouldn’t be surprised if prices are being increased far beyond the actual cost.
USD$4.50 for 30 large eggs.
for context, i live in hong kong.
I’ve moved on to tofu scramble. Not as good but cheap as still pretty tasty.
Got a recipe?
Wonder how is tofu shakshuka?
They are delicious, and super cheap. And turns out there’s even subscriptions for them. We bought 72 a couple days back for 15 euros at a local farm.
Eggs are awesome, they’re making my breakfast and lunch easier and better
The Rotisserie chicken I just bought was cheaper than a dozen eggs. This raises a bunch of questions in my mind, and, to answer my first question - yes, cooking the chicken does prevent the spread of bird flu…
It doesn’t?

I have a pregnant wife who eats eggs every morning and it sucks. That and a ton of foods being prepped with eggs at some point makes the rest of food go up in price as well, I’d assume.
Like all rising living expenses, it is crushing me. Not that you really care, you want EZ points to style on the republicans.
These gotchyas, slams, and owns do not make my rent lower or raise my wages.
No I posted this because I hear a lot of complaints but I’m a vegetarian and allergic to eggs. Don’t make assumptions that are not there.
Eating a few less, but I’m lucky to have my father-in-law who raises chickens nearby. His girls are laying prodigiously right now, and I’ve not had to buy eggs in months as long as I pay attention.
The shelves at my local stores are nearly empty however. I used to buy the expensive grain-free ones anyway. Because good eggs vs not are like comparing fresh vegetables to canned ones - you know they are related, but distantly.
Like eggs, but I can live without.
I stock up when I see them at a reasonable price. They’ll last a few weeks.
They should last for at least 6 weeks in the fridge!
“Last”. Yes. In practice, I found eggs in a fridge age by weeks. I would still call them “fresh” within a week. After that, they don’t taste as well. Another week after that, visual changes happen on the shell. I can see as if the fluid inside is “breaching” the membrane thus dark spots on the outside. This is the last stage I would still be willing to consume them. After that I would throw them away.
It’s reminding me that most people don’t see the forest for the trees.
I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)
I really like eggs, but I walk to my grocery store and back, and often bump the fuck outta whatever I buy. After the first accident, I’ve not bought eggs in a real long while.
Ive always spent a bit extra for a certain brand of eggs, which I prefer, so I haven’t noticed a great deal of difference if I’m honest.
Can’t be skimping on good egg.
