That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Yea but we're talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can't seem to find out why.

[–] chiliedogg 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I dunno, I saw some brown eggs in my Texas supermarket last week.

All those woke DEI chickens are leading to a genocide against wholesome, white, AMERICAN eggs.

Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Buying eggs 15 at the times? Funny indeed.

[–] FlyingSquid 32 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.

Just eggs.

How is that going anyway?

He was talking about human eggs.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, in that case all he had to do was devalue women. Mission accomplished!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

That makes eggs more expensive in comparasion.

Do libs really believe Trump is causing the egg prices, or are y’all just trying to help keep bird flu out of the public discussion?

[–] GroundedGator 10 points 7 hours ago

No, we don't think that Trump has the power to manipulate the prices like that. But his voters absolutely believed he would bring down grocery prices and specifically eggs. He also said that multiple times.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You'd have to ask them. I really believe Trump said he was going to lower the price of eggs. How's that working out?

[–] surph_ninja -2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Why would I have to ask “them”? You’re right here standing on the claim.

Of course Trump can’t do anything to lower the price of food. Neither party is capable of doing that, because neither is willing to fight corporate grocers and farmers. But I notice both the libs & conservatives are working hand-in-hand to deny coverage to the bird flu outbreak. Putting the egg price on Trump just seems like your side’s version of pandemic denial in service of Big Ag.

Sorry, I am not a "lib" and you wanted to know what they thought. I cannot help you there.

And if you don't want to be laughed at for not being able to keep your stupid pledges, don't make stupid pledges.

What "side" am I on anyway? You seem to know a lot about me, so please inform me.

[–] surph_ninja -2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I dunno. I guess another ideology that’s comfortable with spreading Big Ag disinfo. Trying to also spin it into a Trump own implied lib.

You tell me. What political ideology is driving you to post nonsense?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

So, making a shit post joke about how Trump pledged to bring down the cost of eggs, thus having his cult believe the prices of eggs were going to go down due to him, and they a currently rising, with no end in sight, because the president doesn't control the price of eggs, is spreading AG prop and trying to cover up the fact that the bird flu is raising the prices?

You must have extremely long arms to be able to reach that far.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 6 hours ago

What political ideology is driving me to post nonsense in c/funny...

You know, I'll have to ponder that one.

They get even cheaper than this as well - this is on sale at Hemköp for the non-organic brand. If you look at Lidl for the same category, the regular price is approximately the same. To get lower you'd have to buy the 24-pack. If you get it on sale, then you're looking at basically the best price imaginable, probably somewhere below 2 SEK/egg.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

non-organic brand

Mineral eggs, straight from caves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Delicious! Though not quite as good as the meteorite eggs, straight from space.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just found a receipt in my pocket from yesterday. The smallest shittiest eggs are 33.30 Norwegian Kroner for 12 at co-op xtra ($2.95).

[–] Dasus 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Norwegian krone =/= Swedish krona

I mean 1 krone is 0.97 krona so it's not a huge difference but I'm sure Americans would point out if someone had been talking about US dollars and a person replied with a comment with, idk, Canadian dollars.

Sorry I'm just pedantic and krona and krone is easy to confuse probably, it's not like one of them is "the default" like USD when talking of dollars. Although krone and krona do have actually different words, but the difference isn't a massive one to be fair.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Jo, eg veit at det er en forskjell mellom krone og krona. Men det spiller jo ikke noe rolle. Eg har jo sagt at det er det eg har betalt og spesifisitet at eg snakker om norske kroner. Det er mange andre som har svart på samme måte.

[–] Dasus 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

En epäile yhtään ettetkö sä ymmärtäisi eroa kronen ja kronan välillä, mutta kun se ero on niin pieni ja ihmiset jotka ei oo Pohjolasta saattaa sekottaa ne, ni ajattelin painottaa sitä eroa, jotta enemmän jengiä oppii meidän (as in the Nordics) kulttuureista.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

áh, ok. mun jáhkken ahte du kommentára lei čujuhuvvon munnje. mu meattáhus.

[–] Dasus 1 points 2 hours ago

It might have been, I'm not infallible.

I'm just riding on the wave of possibility bro
