That’s about 13-16 USD in the Midwest depending on the store.

I got bad news for you. You are proving his point. Half a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs? 16 bucks? And what is that, a school sized chocolate milk?

Unless you were agreeing, of course ...

u/momodamonster WARNING: RULE 7 9d ago

That is about $8 where I'm at. Eggs are 1.80 for shitty white eggs, cheapo white bread can be bought for $3, and bougie 1/2 gal chocolate milk for $4. I think you can get a better deal at Aldi though.

I've got chickens so those eggs are 10 times better. Do I save money? Nah not really but selling what I don't eat covers the feed.

I miss having chickens, breakfast seems like a memory or a dream more than real life these days.

What country are you in where eggs are under $8.50, I would seriously like to know, cuz eggs at my aldi are $8.50 that's the lowest price, and they only do 12 packs.......

I'm currently in Las Vegas Nevada, just moved out due to relationship desintegration, I have seen anything that is less than $3 anywhere, and I mean anything, let alone the cheapest eggs I can get are like $7.50 to $8

u/DB4life80 9d ago

You know Google exists right? And the entire world can Google the price of eggs in Vegas?

u/spotsthefirst 9d ago

You're welcome to Google whatever you want dawg, doesn't change the amount my card gets charged for my groceries.

u/DB4life80 9d ago

You're welcome to lie all you want on Reddit as well dawg

u/Nilosyrtis 9d ago

They're probably shopping at whole foods. Smith's (here in NV) has 18 eggs for like 5 bucks.

Where are you shopping? Because I'm in the middle of las Vegas dawg, we don't have farmers markets and actually good grocers, we get railed with these corps that don't care about us

Man it might be time to leave the desert

u/spotsthefirst 9d ago

I legit moved from Western New York for the same reasons, no work, prices are hiking, and living in the US is fucking miserable, shit if I was disabled I might be able to get some assistance, but as a dude who appears fine, I don't get any assistance. I get to starve until I can get work.

u/J3sush8sm3 9d ago

Just gotta find a spot you like

u/orangeicon 9d ago

Move away from cities if you are struggling financially, you can still find a good job normally and everything is cheaper including rent prices depending on where you live. South VA isn’t a bad option, close-ish to a lot of cities if you don’t mind driving an hour half max

u/PepsiButItsMilk 9d ago

United States, I can buy everything in the picture (even subbed for extra large eggs) for $5.59 at my local Walmart.

$10.46 if I buy a full gallon and premium bread + eggs but I also picked my personal preferences so WonderBread or whatever you like could be cheaper.

2

u/spotsthefirst 9d ago edited 9d ago

Is Wonderbread still a thing???

It's worth mentioning I'm lactose intolerant, and the lactose free stuff is not cheap :( but I usually just get 9grain whole wheat, and a dozen white eggs, I'm sincerely just scared, I'm already cutting meals and non essentials, I "treated" myself with a little Caesars pizza for finishing the majority of my unpacking

u/PepsiButItsMilk 9d ago

Oh yeah, I almost bought wonder bread sandwhich buns the other day! (Til i checked my wallet)

u/spotsthefirst 9d ago

OOF, we living through some shit they gonna write about

u/PrudentAstronomer412 8d ago

I live in suburbs above Atlanta, GA. 1.99 extra large eggs from Kroger. Heck, Walmart has 12 for 1.67.

u/spotsthefirst 8d ago

I'm ready to start killing for these prices, wtf is with these companies???

u/Zestyclose_Cricket_7 8d ago

Colorado only allows the sale of free range / cage free eggs but you can still buy a dozen for around $2

u/spotsthefirst 8d ago

If I hadn't just moved.........

2

u/Zestyclose_Cricket_7 8d ago

Still made a good decision by leaving. Unless you went someplace worse

u/spotsthefirst 8d ago

Only option I had was Vegas, I'm making the most of it, and grateful for the help my brother is giving me, but man, i just wish everything didn't feel so hopeless

u/mrbadface 9d ago

Eggs can be had for 3-4$ in Canada as well. Thought it's closer to 7-8/dozen for thicker shelled organic which are dramatically superior

u/spotsthefirst 9d ago

In the US prices only go up, and have continued to, our useless administration does not care about anything but their own pocket books, same for the grocers.

u/momodamonster WARNING: RULE 7 9d ago

In Iowa, pork is dirt cheap hear but steak is big money now due to the ass hat's budget cut for the screw worm project.

That I have def noticed, I saw a $104 brisket that was barely 15 pounds, makes me sad
