That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.
Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
He was talking about human eggs.
Ah, in that case all he had to do was devalue women. Mission accomplished!
That makes eggs more expensive in comparasion.
Women aren’t buying them. Elon musk is buying them for his incubation vats. You know for his army of zef clones.
Do libs really believe Trump is causing the egg prices, or are y’all just trying to help keep bird flu out of the public discussion?
No, we don’t think that Trump has the power to manipulate the prices like that. But his voters absolutely believed he would bring down grocery prices and specifically eggs. He also said that multiple times.
Well, egg prices will come down during his presidency, so that’s an easy promise to fulfill by doing exactly nothing.
You’d have to ask them. I really believe Trump said he was going to lower the price of eggs. How’s that working out?
To be fair, that’s one campaign promise he’ll make good on, because eventually the egg supply will return. He doesn’t even need to do anything!
Doesn’t mean it will come back cheaper though. Who’s going to punish companies for price gouging now?
They did the last several times this happened (plus regular inflation), what makes this time different?
I’m guessing $2.50-3/dz at Costco, because they were ~$2.50/dz before the flu and inflation keeps trucking along.
I give it 6-ish months, and I’ll be surprised if prices aren’t below $3/dz at my local Costco by EOY.
Republicans controlling all three branches of government and looking the other way while businesses charge whatever the hell they feel like charging and collude to keep the prices artificially high.
Chickens go from egg to laying in about 6 months. So maybe I’ll believe you if prices are still high ($4+/dz) at EOY. I’m guessing we’ll be <$3/dz by then (at my local Costco, that is).
This literally already happened. And under Biden.

But sure, it can’t possibly happen again under Trump.
Why would I have to ask “them”? You’re right here standing on the claim.
Of course Trump can’t do anything to lower the price of food. Neither party is capable of doing that, because neither is willing to fight corporate grocers and farmers. But I notice both the libs & conservatives are working hand-in-hand to deny coverage to the bird flu outbreak. Putting the egg price on Trump just seems like your side’s version of pandemic denial in service of Big Ag.
Big Ag likes the Orange Numbnuts. Farm subsidies, SOCIALISM, increased from $4 billion to over $20 billion because of his failed trade war against China. Guess who received that pile of cash for nothing? Big Ag. Jan 2025 to Jan 2029 will be a catastrophic repeat and prices will go through the roof under the GOP. The illegal labor used in the entire food industry chain, mostly in red counties, will also cause prices to increase. The latest bird flu case broke out in the red run deregulated welfare state of Louisiana and I’m certain the farmer over filled the chicken batteries to maximize profits.
Sorry, I am not a “lib” and you wanted to know what they thought. I cannot help you there.
And if you don’t want to be laughed at for not being able to keep your stupid pledges, don’t make stupid pledges.
What “side” am I on anyway? You seem to know a lot about me, so please inform me.
I dunno. I guess another ideology that’s comfortable with spreading Big Ag disinfo. Trying to also spin it into a Trump own implied lib.
You tell me. What political ideology is driving you to post nonsense?
So, making a shit post joke about how Trump pledged to bring down the cost of eggs, thus having his cult believe the prices of eggs were going to go down due to him, and they a currently rising, with no end in sight, because the president doesn’t control the price of eggs, is spreading AG prop and trying to cover up the fact that the bird flu is raising the prices?
You must have extremely long arms to be able to reach that far.
There are Olympics level mental gymnastics going on with that one. I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to figure out what they’re going on about. It’s a level of stupidity mere mortals cannot fathom.
It almost feels like some sort of AI bot framed to make people angry, for not being leftist enough, or something, with the underlying intent to create a shame response to criticisms of like trump, I guess… such a weird thing to go off about.
What political ideology is driving me to post nonsense in c/funny…
You know, I’ll have to ponder that one.
