I’m not really the one to complain about inflation, but I just spent almost $8 on 18 eggs in Ohio.

@Sysengineer I think it’s more bird flu than inflation. No doubt both, though. https://www.fooddive.com/news/eggs-turkey-prices-increase-price-hpai-outbreak-bird-flu-poultry-disease/631345/
Egg and turkey prices likely to remain high due to avian influenza: report

Factors like high labor and feed costs will make it difficult for producers who have had to cull millions of birds to bounce back, according to CoBank.

@Sysengineer All I can see is the styrofoam. But anyway, #chickens are fun to keep, and then you get the eggs for free, or at least gratis with a time investment. They make great pets.

@Sysengineer I highly recommend switching to medium sized eggs. While prices vary by region, medium can cost up to 50% less. The size difference only matters for recipes that require 4+ or are extra finicky.

In caloric terms, the average large egg is 70-75 vs a medium at 60-65*.
