Mine cost about $45 a month plus whatever the electric for the water heater costs, not too sure about that since the trough heater for the cows runs the same time (they are both thermo controlled). Keeping in mind that chickens lay eggs based on the length of the day, so this isn't exactly optimal egg harvest time. we get 35-45 eggs a week. 16 chickens, that are all dual purpose birds.

I didn’t buy any eggs today, but passed on the avocados when I saw they went from $1 each to $2 a piece. Also glad I am not a big coffee drinker. A local coffee shop owner compared the recent run up in coffee prices to you waking up one day and suddenly gas is $7 a gallon. That was eye opening to me.

Here is Cali, restaurants have put a 50 cent surcharge on all egg dishes. Never realized how many non-obvious meals contained eggs....wife just bought two dozen at Costco for $7.00 for the 24. Not sure if medium or large AA, but hey, still makes an omelet. Also spoke with a rancher who had chicken farm for long time, and he said (or so he thought), that the chicken flu was real, but that Biden ordered (?) the slaughter of millions (?) of chickens to crimp Trump's efforts to bring down food inflation. Please, take with a grain of salt, as this guy is a more hardened Republican than I am. (And am not trusting much if anything am hearing/reading these days).

Piranhas go into a frenzy and eggs disappear
@calibuck if your wife got 2 dozen, do NOT mess with her.. official bad-ass

There were plenty at my Costco yesterday afternoon and the price is the same as it was 2 weeks ago. They are limiting how many you can buy to 3 cartons. It’s just like toilet paper during COVID, stupid people trying to hoard driving the price up.

Haven’t seen the coffee run up @BuckBackHome. But if the metal tariffs fuck with the cost of beer Jimmy’s going to be angry

Gotcha, given the 'world economy', one sees goods from all over the planet. Heck, even in California, we get fruits and vegetables from South America. In Australia, they had blueberries from nearby us from Gilroy. Not entirely certain that Trump's tariffs aren't a chess move to get Mexico and Canada to step up their game borderwise, to do some of the work in keeping illegals and fentanyl out of the USA. But, we'll see. Anyway, until there's a surge in supply, goods are not going down in price. Also think the Canadian tariff was timed so the cost of gas (that heats most of the northern states) was such that weather is warming, so dependence is not as great. Or not, just my opinion.

The new laying hens will start producing eggs in about another 15 weeks, should bring the price back down. In the meantime I'll keep buying eggs despite the high prices because they're a superfood. It's funny how people will cry about how expensive eggs are and go to Starbucks and pay 10 bucks for a 16oz drink full of high fructose corn syrup and chemicals. There's an obese woman at work that arrives everyday with her supersized mocha latte sugar bomb and then has ramen and a coca cola for lunch. The most hilarious part is she's spending 39 cents on her food and $2.19 for her coke to wash it down. How did we get here?

Yuk! Yuk! Believe you got it in one, Dub. No one boycotts etc when Starbucks raises coffee prices by a buck, nor does demand diminish. (which tells us amateur economists out there that there's room to raise prices more). Am pretty sure have told my tale, my stockbroker brought me an IPO that he pitched, for some company in Seattle selling $5 coffees. Told him it was crazy, and invested elsewhere. Of course, that was Starbucks, and coulda made a bundle. Guess designer coffee is alot like designer jeans. People want to be cool, not practical. I'll buy a hamburger and onion rings, and then order a diet Coke, so I'm in the same 'bad choices' category.....

I work with a Mexican woman that had a very successful business but had to leave it behind because the local mafia tried to shake her down. One day we were talking about how dumb poor people are with their money and that why they're poor. She told me that she would literally pick up rocks off of the ground, shine them and paint a face on them and people would buy them. There's a fortune to be made off of the financially illiterate.
