More than 50 million chickens were killed in this country. What a sad situation for the farmers. I have pet birds (parakeets), and I make sure they stay inside whenever there are avian flu outbreaks as there really is no cure. I remember last year many of the wild songbirds were dying as well.

I do not purchase eggs that much any more, so the current price increases really do not have too much impact on me.

I think I can live without buying Wagyu roasts. I do splurge on certain QVC food items during the holiday season, and I have been very satisfied with all of my purchases.

Who ever said supply chain issues were over?

Some of the regular stores have that price on eggs, Walmart still has them for under 4.50. The carton and a half.
In Kansas we are thrilled that sales food tax is going down in the next 3 years and 2025 will be the end it. We are one of the highest states in the country where as some states don't have a food tax at all.

@luvmyteddy4 we don't have tax on most grocery items here in Florida, but there is a tax on prepared foods, such as deli sandwiches bought inside a grocery store. I think they should get rid of taxes on restaurant food, or at least lower the taxes. Food is food. Many of us have a hard time preparing food.

The best way to save on your food budget is to eliminate meat. Find another protein.

@ValuSkr @@We buy very little meat. Everything we buy is just so costly now.

I was at my local Kroger last week searching for eggs. Kroger brand had sold out of a dozen eggs so I bought the last package of six eggs for $3.50. The only packages of eggs left were free range. One brand was $10.95/ dozen and the other was $20 per dozen.
The 10 and twenty dollar eggs were previously $4 and $5 per dozen. I would have to say the the store is price gouging.

@nrm @This new price makes sense, since free range chickens have to go outdoors and that exposes them to bird flu.

@grandma petes I wanted to spit when at my local Super Market they wanted 10.49$ for one dozen eggs.

Holy cow! They are averaging $5.99 here. However, I priced shopped online and found name brand eggs for $3.89 yesterday - and they were free range.

My state has killed several million chickens because of bird flu. I try to alway buy seafood, meat and eggs from non-factory farms.

I quit shopping at just one store. I like to order groceries online and can go to my regular store's competitors and get everything for $1-$4 less per item. That adds up fast.

Yes! That is crazy. I have seen some sales in my area on progresso soups. I just bought a few cans today, on sale.
