President Biden has begun to accuse stores of overcharging shoppers, as food costs remain a burden for consumers and a political problem for the president.
I guess it depends on where you are and what you need. I’m in an area surrounded by farms and agriculture. We didnt do a csa this year but we have done them in the past. My wife found a farm not far from us that let’s you order online and then go pick it up on the day they designate.
As far as prices. Depending on the product, I’m happy to pay a bit more for meat, milk, etc because you get a better quality product plus you really are supporting your local community. You can also look for farmers markets that I see all over the damn place several times a year.
Considering this is about eggs in supermarkets being too expensive for many people, I don’t know that telling people how to pay even more for eggs is the best advice.
Where did I say that people had to pay more? I mentioned it as a me thing.
Oh and I see this about eggs being too expensive but the last time I checked, they went up but they aren’t actually out of reach for most people. In fact, eggs are only as cheap as they are because of the way we raise and process chickens and their eggs. Eggs from chickens that are raised in better conditions are not only tastier, they don’t need refrigeration and will last a lot longer than store bought (assuming they haven’t been washed).
Here is an article I literally just found because I was curious about the highs and lows. I haven’t bought eggs in a long time. A couple of years ago we were flooded by free ones from a neighbor and now my wife usually gets them from a local farm.
