conulyI went to the store to re-up eggs, and they were going for $10 a dozen. It was actually cheaper to get organic eggs, at $8.50! I seriously considered getting the 2.5 dozen pack, but even at a (slightly) cheaper per unit price of $8.20/dozen that sticker shock was still insane.
And while I love complaining about the way our local store gouges on butter ($8 a pound for store brand!), this time it's not just them - the prices were about the same at Stop and Shop. Well, okay, everybody's talking about egg prices lately - except then I read an article about skyrocketing egg prices and the article cite a shocking (!) $4 a dozen, which, don't make me laugh.
So was that article already painfully out of date, or are we just getting massively ripped off over here?
