With the obsession over egg prices you’d think everyone is eating two dozen per day or something.
I go through ~18 eggs/week. I already bought better eggs though, so the price increases have not been as noticeable. Something I will notice is when my local grocery stops selling chicken breasts for $1.99/pound. I'm surprised they haven't upped the price every time I'm in there.

Naive as I am (& not living in the US), I've always thought these supermarket chains have uniform pricing and that's one reason why they're so popular.
Anything produce related is going to fluctuate based on location. This is because most produce is bought within some distance of the store (ex: 100 miles).

How do you cook the potato ? Always interested in alternative (for me) breakfasts !
Dice ~1lb of red potatoes (for potassium) Coat in olive oil. Season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika. Spread on oven pan. Bake at 420F for 20-22min until edges brown (I'm at >5000' elevation btw) Place in container and store in fridge. In the morning in sautee to heat them before adding scrambled egg. You can top with cheese and scallions but I don't. Amount of potatoes is determined by past 24hrs and…
2 parts salt
1 part sweet paprika
1 part garlic powder
dash of pepper or mustard powder
dash of citric acid powder for the extra kickThere's a monopoly on US eggs, and like seemingly every industry right now, they're blaming externalities to cover the fact that price increases are mostly going to shareholders. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/23/cant-make-an-omelet/#keep...
I'm from Germany and in New York right now. Damn is everything expensive here. And everyone running around with a 10+$ Starbucks coffee all the time. Edit: probably not a fair comparison though since I come from the countryside in Germany where everything's generally cheaper than in the cities.
NYC is full of contrasts. Where I used to work in downtown Manhattan, there were 3 pizza places near the office, with prices ranging from $4-5 per slice in an upscale place with fancy pizza, to $0.99 for a reasonably tasty slice half a block away. Same applies to most goods. You can get pretty cheap offerings if you know where to look; you can have expensive and fancy stuff if you are ready to afford it.

May you please give some price comparisons for fairly similar items youll find in germany vs us (grocery or otherwise) - lets not talk about healthcare and bribing politicians :-) - Since I am "posting too fast (thanks @Dang), Ill post my replies in this edit: @StuporGlue ; >> "Yeah, almost all of those prices are lower than in the US.... I think a gallon of milk is about $4.99 or $5.99 (usually ~$1+ higher if we are…
California has a specific gasoline formulation that is different than every other state. That’s why gas costs more in CA, in addition to the state gasoline taxes.

I wish I could go back in time about 40 years, where I had the same faith in government that you have currently. (I'm age 43 at the moment)

Unless it's army, police, prisons, and drug prosecutions. You know the arms of the government that are actually danegrous and kill people.
Like at least can you be consistent.

Just adding a data point, I checked Whole Food's online ordering system and I can order these eggs for delivery later today for $3.79: https://www.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Brown-Non-Gmo/dp/B...
Depends on where you are. Shows "Currently unavailable." for me. Also, +$9.95 for delivery. Who knows if Amazon is willing to deliver to you because of that and empty the store shelves instead? So again, unless you see them with your eyeballs or get them at $3.79 all in in your hands, I am not sure what this means.
The egg inflation scare is being largely exaggerated. IMO what is different now vs a few years ago is there's a lot more high end organic pasture raised options. These are $6-$10, but that's not the price of standard conventional eggs.
