If I avoid name brand stuff, my prices generally aren't bad. Like you said, the local eggs have been stable. Locally sourced chicken also is reasonably priced and often on sale. There was BOGO (mix and match) last week so I got a whole chicken and a 2lb pack of breasts for $12 total. Both beautiful quality. With a bunch of minor cheap produce, herbs, and pasta..that's chicken soup + a chicken one pot meal that'll las…
That is likely to change. Why should they sell a superior product for less?
This has held true for literally 4 years. And it's not some niche store - it's a Kroger-owned chain!

#503Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper. This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.
Came to say the same thing. Fortunate to have a store front on my block in brooklyn that sources primarily from area farms. No interruption in supply or change in prices (though I've always been paying in the $7 range).
Besides all the arguments around diverse food supply and economic SPOFs, it just feels so much better to shop this way.

Stop making excuses for an abuser who has repeatedly shown he isn't as stupid as he'd like you to think he is.
It's not "making excuses" I genuinely think what I said. This kinda recrimination and such aren't helping anything.
What was your purpose in saying you think it's ignorance more than malice? What did you actually want to communicate with that statement?

#505I've been fiddling around with the Albertsons API for fun. It's kind of neat to see a whole year's worth of purchases in nicely formatted JSON. I have half an idea to create something like a personal inflation tracker, but I'm still thinking about it. It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actu…
> It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actually happening any more and that therefore we must cut interest rates, or some such. in the end statistics is a science, and results can be cross-referenced with independent sources. you may get away with a bit, but not with much [1].

Don't rely on this. It works when bad actors are isolated and hoping nobody will notice, but not so well when there are tens of millions ready to repeat the official line, whether they believe it or not.

#506Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.
Eggs have famously short shelf life, even in the refrigerator. They’re not going to last more than a month if you’re lucky. The egg cartons they’re sold in are already the most optimized way to store them. Moving them into something else doesn’t make any sense.
I wonder if that's just the US (because they wash off the coating) or everywhere. Out of habit, I still put eggs I buy in Italy in the refrigerator even though they are stored at room temperature at the store.

Ok, but, you can't feed 340M people with "fresh, local eggs". While it's nice you buy six eggs at a time from Joe Farmer off the back of his '72 Ford, but factory farms are an unfortunate necessity to feed everyone that isn't so privileged.
Man, if only it were possible to adjust the number of eggs that we eat in order to account for the increased cost of eggs that are farmed humanely and whose purchase benefits the local economy instead of massive corporate conglomerates. But alas, 340 million souls need their daily eggs.
Your solution to a supply and demand mismatch is that everyone regulate their demand to match the local supply?
Your solution is for a problem that doesn't exist.

Why is it that egg producer greed/generosity matches well with the times when there is an egg supply shortage/surfeit?
it doesn't. The largest egg producer in the nation had no infected birds. There was no shortage. The companies just conspired to restrict supply so that they could gouge consumers and stuff their pockets. They were ordered to pay millions in fines because of it ( https://www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-suppliers-ordered-to-pay-17... ) They successfully tricked you into thinking that their prices are set by supply and demand…
You've got this great opportunity to outcompete Aritzia and you're not doing it? They have no hold over you. When they conspire, just don't play along, like Zuck rejected Apple. Pick 50% their margin. You'll be a billionaire in a year.
