picked up some eggs today... more than 3x what the price was at the beginning of the year! butter is almost double... in the same time... there's some gouging going on and it's NOT the farmers that are getting rich!
Where I'm at, eggs have gone up only about 50% in the past couple of years. Butter is double at some stores, but I stocked up a year ago.
There is a YouTube channel called "Appalachia's Homestead with Patera," and Patera said that feed had gone up so much that she would have to sell eggs at over $11 a dozen. So she has told all her customers that she's not selling any more for a while.
On the other hand, the local Food Lion and Aldi both have had chicken leg quarters on sale for 49 cents a pound, which is a very good price any time. There are now shrink-wrapped packages in my freezer.

I know I can go to three or four different groceries today and pay wildly different prices for eggs.
That "convenient" Asian bird flu. Almost a million chickens destroyed.
