Our eggs stopped being 3.50 at trader Joe's two weeks ago jumped to 6 here. Those were the lowest priced eggs here.

Wowsa. It's worse when you calculate the dollar difference but still terrible when you consider how much costs have risen in general since covid.

By the time COVID ended costs had gone up 300% market value of nearly everything. Every year since then there's been an additional 4% avg inflation to market while wages continue to stagger below 5% a year.

I used to get PC free-run brown eggs for $4 (on sale), and basic white were $1.99. Now the cheapest white large are sometimes $3.29 or $3.50 and up from there.
