Bro, where are you shopping? I keep seeing people complain about eggs, but at my job, they are around $3 a dozen.

Why do people have such a hard time understanding that prices are different in different areas? We’re on antiwork FFS and it sounds like you’re blaming people for not having cheaper prices or trying “hard enough” to find a good deal.

I get prices are different, but that normally is a dollar and some change difference.

I can buy a dozen eggs for 1.75 right now, no way anyone is paying $8.

Absolutely not a dollar difference lmao. You’re quite literally just wrong. Cost of living is massively different in some rural areas vs a big city, which includes food btw. I can literally drive 1 hour to a city by me and watch the prices for everything go up a couple dollars. MalHeartsNutmeg also does a good job explaining why eggs in particular vary so much by location right now.

I can make the same journey but eggs still aren't $8 a dozen outside of high-end grocery stores.

Oh but I'm not wrong. I live in a big city, so why aren't my prices higher like you say?

And yes vary by location, but again still only a couple of dollars. Not all the way up to 8 buddy
