Is your grocery bill scrambled due to high egg prices?

Posted

Have you had to make adjustments to your family’s grocery list and meals because of the high cost of eggs? Have you noticed local restaurants boosting the prices of the food they are serving? How are you substituting?

  • Well, we have cut down on going out to breakfast and to fast-food places. We now buy several of the store-brand items to save a few bucks. Shopping online in bulk has saved us some money, too. Big discount stores have helped out a lot, as well. Just trying to survive on this Social Security and pension check is getting harder every month. — Vincent Deskiewicz
  • Everyone who raises their own small flock is saying, “No problem.” — Sherry Long
  • Forget about the eggs, when people are now paying thousands for electricity! — Barbara Bradbury
  • We won’t buy eggs until the price gouging is over. — Roger Bonds
  • Don’t we always have something with chickens and eggs every year or two? — Barb Passwaters
  • Get ready because they have “discovered” bird flu in cattle. It’s only a matter of time before there is no beef. — Natascha M. Ward
  • Nope. We’re good over here. Ten years of working on our own food security, through meat animals, eggs, gardening, canning, dehydrating, etc. We’re golden. — Heather Hosler
  • Did you ask this question during the Biden administration, when literally everything skyrocketed? Eggs are still cheap. Houses cost $100,000 more, though. — Ryan Fenimore
  • I came to say the same thing! Joe Biden’s sheep should have asked him in April of last year what he was going to do about the bird flu. — John Archut Sr.
