It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

Yes

I don't really eat eggs. I have ducks that lay eggs and if I really want some, I eat what they produce. I might try selling their eggs as a side hustle but a lot of people are grossed out by the concept of eating duck eggs for some reason lol

Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.

Cause eggs are in fucking everything.

About 14. I'm not particularly price-sensitive about it given the absolute cost is low relative to many food options.

Eggs keep getting cited by people trying to blame their political opponents for increases in food prices because they have increased to about 2.5x from five years ago, which is a bigger increase than most foods. The bulk of the increase is due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, but that fact doesn't seem to have great distribution among the general public.

When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that's eight eggs in one meal.

I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that's why they are talked about.

Whatever gets put in pad Thai once a week.

about 3 fiddy

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.

Eggs because:

Vance gave a quote bashing the price of eggs, but he cited a number much higher than the sign he was standing next to.

Dems pounced on this, mocking the blatant exaggeration and dismissing any concerns about a cost of living crisis.

It stuck around because it’s emblematic of the overall situation:

Repubs don’t give a shit about facts, just vibes, and wanna paint as dark of a picture as possible.

Dems only care about being correct on paper, and don’t give a shit about listening to the problems of ordinary people or doing anything that could be called “radical”.

Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.

A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.

Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.

And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.

Zero because I don’t have chickens and fuck animal abuse.

I haven't eaten eggs in a decade, they're surprisingly easy to avoid.

As many as possible. It's one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.

Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.

And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚

I have like four every six months.
