It's Egg-mageddon! $4.50 Eggs? Oh no!

in #aliveandthriving8 days ago

Our family is sustained by quality protein sources - we're always looking for affordable protein, without having to supplement with powders and bars.

Besides meats and dairy, we rely very much on eggs as an affordable source of protein, but things have changed. What used to be less than a dollar, 12 eggs have become more costly than a pound of beef.

The biggest problem isn't just the price, but the limit. Our family can easily go through 6 dozen eggs in a single week. Now we can only purchase a limit of two per shopping tripping.

10 Years Ago: A Different Economic World

I went through my photos and found this one from December 2015. Same store, same cooler, just 10 years ago.

$0.98 gallon of milk and $0.45 dozen eggs (no limit).

10x egg price in 10 year. Let's make EGGS affordable again!

Let the immutable blockchain mark my words: we will see cheap eggs again!

How are egg prices where you live?

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

I am grateful to have my free range chicken producing egg every other day to supplement my protein need. What happens to the economy, the supposedly low price commodity rise it's price due to human behaviors. Eggs for example must be down in price, every person can raise a livestock. Chicken forages freely and produced meat and egg. Maybe we need to press a reset button.

I understand that regulators go after free range chickens; so they may not save you.

Who knows, the billion dollar ag industry is apt to decide that free range chickens are the problem. After all, your free range chickens my associate with ducks and squirrels as they live their best free range life.

!WINE

Yeah, that's the problem, there is a regulatory body of the government who works for big corporations.

The eggs were $7.50 USD at my local store. I saw a news reports with eggs in NYC just user $12 ... a dollar an egg.

Egg is the natural source of protein.day by day the prices of everything is increasing.You should buy hen and raise chickens at home to get free of cost eggs.

Eggs are expensive here too.
It was sold at 50 naira per egg but now it is 250 naira an egg.

Even chicken is expensive as well.
They said feed is expensive and birds medicines are expensive as well.
And besides the economy isn't smiling, so the farmers shouldn't survive even if there are alternatives to feeding.
They will have to increase the price of eggs and chicken in other to meet other economy needs.

If you can i suggests buying your own chickens they are pretty easy to care for and don't need tons of space.

Go for chicken types that lay a lot of eggs most chickens will lay a few hundred eggs a Year we have rangers and they lay nearly everyday it gets a little less whren they are growing out their feathers and in the winter.

You will need to check your local laws on size of flock you can have before or after registery.

Eggs here in the UK range from about £3.20 - £4.50 some places can cost a little more.

Have the best one bro

Eggs are more expensive than beef? That's messed up.

If my chickens find out, they'll ask me for a raise.

In the UK, 12 large eggs cost £3.15.

$1 = £0.80, so £3.15 equates to $3.94. That's about 12% cheaper than the price you quoted in your article.

But we have no tax or VAT on food, and we're an island, so bird flu hasn't arrived here yet. (Our health inspectors are going mental testing stuff at the ports coming in from continental Europe to make sure we don't import infections).

Regarding protein - beans and lentils are a good source of protein.

Egg is a protein rich food.
Sir, check out this kind of breakfast sometime.
Have a handful of dry fruits, an egg and a cup of milk in your morning breakfast. It is a great breakfast, it contains all kinds of ingredients according to the needs of our body.

You ever think of raising chickens for the eggs? Or are you already doing it?

Glad I am raising hens of my own, lol. I have been seeing higher prices for the brown and 'cage free' eggs. Not at a place where I have enough to sell though, but that's one of the homestead goals.
