Some places have eggs in packs of 6, but it is indeed rare.
You'll find that highly processed food (cheap carbs, sugar, corn, etc) is what is cheap in the USA. That and like you said booze. Now why would that be?
Remember back when "sugar cereals" were more expensive than the more "healthier brands" then It had totally flipped there for a while where the pure sugar ones were cheap and healthy expensive but, it has evened out a bit now. Most cereals are just nasty anyway though, IMO.
Not any more. The highly processed stuff is high as gold. Potato chips and other salty junk food have doubled in price. And bags are now half the size and still shrinking so the price is actually far more than doubled. The same is true of any processed food you can mention. Look at cereal, canned soup, any frozen foods.
Egg prices are doubled too. They're lower than they were a year ago but a dozen jumbo eggs were 78 cents for years. They're now $1.63.
But you'll see the same thing with all those things you use to cook yourself and avoid processed stuff. Meat, nearly all fresh vegetables and fruit. A 5 lb bag of plain old white potatoes is $5 or more.
It's hard to realize how bad the inflation really is because it's been gradual, but it's far worse that the 3-8% Biden's government has been claiming.
