Eggs

[BuckBackHome]

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

Just read that 81% of US beer imports in 2023 came from Mexico. Don’t let Jimmy know;-)

It’s the aluminum for the canning that will drive up costs, especially for the craft brewery(s). I say back to glass!

I could care less about eggs as I don't eat them. But strawberries are a whole other concern!

Robin Eggs by Whoppers are up 65% from last year. I’m 92% sure Robin Eggs are candy and not real eggs.

Will beer cost more as a result of tariffs? Brewing industry remains in direct fire of tax hikes

Tariffs between the United States and Canada are causing uncertainty and potential price hikes in a variety of ways for local brewers.

Egg prices increase to record high despite Trump's predictions and bird flu outbreak slowing

U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.

So, wholesale prices dropped, but retail prices did not. It will be interesting to see what the old Easter season does with April numbers.

Granted it limits the uses to which they can be put, but I've been happy to be able to get 32 peeled hard boiled eggs in (16 two-packs) at the local Costco business center for $10.49 or $10.69, I forget which. They're good quality (no sulfuric taste or discoloration) and last at least 5-6 weeks.
