Stopped by an Asian supermarket yesterday with my mom. She asked me to look at eggs for her.
The store was selling a dozen eggs for $11.99 and 18 eggs for $17.99.
I don’t think they were cage free or organic. Just regular eggs. That’s robbery so of course I told my mom she doesn’t need them. Not at these prices anyway.
If people stop buying eggs at these ridiculous prices wouldn’t that make the stores lower them?

I am glad I don't buy them anymore but that is due to allergies. I started to get sick of them anyway and the smell was making me sick. Yeah I see everyone gripping ..they are crazy with the prices!!

@RebeccasFarm I meant they don’t smell bad, not unless they are spoiled lol. But they do have their own scent when cooked.

Bummer! Eggs are good source of protein. Eggs don’t really smell though.

I get supply and demand but these prices are a rip off.

I´m sure that people can eat other kinds of food until the egg prices go down.

A lot of things require eggs though, especially baked items, like cakes, pies, etc.

It would lower the prices since if and when the stores have to give away the eggs, they would lower the prices just to get of the eggs since they would close to useless.

I’ve noticed there are people who don’t even look at prices. They will just take something from the shelf, put it in the shopping cart, and go check out.

That is so ridiculous. I have seen similar prices as well. You are right. It's all about supply and demand. The less people demand for eggs, the lower the price will be.

@lilacskies guess I can always switch to quail eggs. They are way cheaper. Unless they went up too.

@lovebuglena True. There should be other options surely. Just keep looking and be patient for now. Best to wait it out.

Might make the price drop some, or it could make it worse. Hard to say the way the market is.

@lovebuglena Well, for one thing, you're always going to have people whill pay those prices. You live in an area where the cost of living is considerably higher. You drop 3k on furniture for example, and consider that a bargian. So, you know that smeone out here will see that as a discount. so farms will keep supplying. I'd never deminish enough to where it'd drop the cost. If people stopped buying, farmers still would be compinsated for their stock, so it'd have to be made up elsewhere. its a vicious cycle.

@kaylachan 3k for Italian furniture is a great deal.

Compared to $17.99 your price is a way better deal.
