LPT: it's almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.
Unless you are in the U.S. and that is likely against the migratory bird act of 1918.
Who's going to stop me. The government agency that was just decimated. I stopped paying taxes too.
Oh, I’m just providing information so that people can be fully informed. I personally would never try to stop someone from utilizing what the Earth provides in order to survive (to a non-climate changing extent). Only governments do that. Otherwise, I would have had to wait 50 years to try marijuana and that wasn’t going to happen lol
Its also the time of year to start thinking about buying chicks. Its a commitment and I recommend doing your research but if you can properly care for egg laying hens then I highly recommend you consider building the required infrastructure and having hens. There is an initial investment, but now it costs me about $3 to produce a dozen pasture raised eggs.
Just poke tiny holes in them, blow out the contents and return them for a refund.
Just syphon other people's eggs contents using a long straw whenever they are distracted.
Thanks Wile
I have chickens. People refuse to pay $5 a dozen for our pasture eggs. Even though that's cheaper than any other eggs in the area. I'm also sitting on a dozen goose eggs. A goose egg is three times the size of a chicken egg. They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.
Keep sitting on those goose eggs, when they hatch and you attack with your goose army they'll all be sorry.
It takes a full year to hatch them and then wait for them to become soldiers since they are only aggressive in the spring. Ain'tnobodygottimeforthat-meme.gif
This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.
Which is absurd.
If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.
If me neighbor had eggs like that I would buy it as often as they would let me.
Subscription payment on eggs is wild! lol
Even worse, it's buy now pay later.
Oh my gosh, this planet is the bad place. Are we in hell and did we all die in Dec 21 2012?
4 × 2.97 < 11.89.
Don’t worry, that’s just the rate if you have perfect credit (*starting at). The people that actually need such a service would likely be paying $3.50 per payment.
Yup. It's just another predatory service.
Honestly they're probably taking a loss to punish people who miss payments on their eggs. One person on the debt treadmill is worth a lot more than a few cents... Loans are so shady as an industry, the smaller they are the more they're just looking to further exploit the poorest people
Either that or they think the dollar is about to deflate lol

And now you know why the Abrahamic religions forbid usury. It's honestly a wonder the world managed to dig itself back into this particular hole again.
I think the most likely thing is that they did 11.89/4 and then rounded to the nearest cent.
Random tip: Kala Namak is a condiment which tastes a lot like egg yolk. If you sprinkle it onto some cooked white beans, that's kind of like scrambled eggs (well, it is different, but also good and might satiate a craving).
Basically, Kala Namak is salt+sulphur. Egg yolk also contains sulphur, and well, sulphur is one of the minerals we should be eating anyways.
Tofu scramble is another good alternative, albeit also not exactly the same. This recipe looks like a decent starting point:

I also really like adding vegetables to my scramble, that'll make it even less like eggs though.
Building a small den to hold 2 to 4 chickens is cheaper in the long run.
For the city: Renting a parking spot and turning an old junker into a chicken den is also probably cheaper. Just make sure to secure it against egg thiefs.
Not eating eggs is cheapest.
I used to buy these after recent price hikes. To be fair, these were always three times the price than regular eggs.
why are eggs so atrociously expensive in the US? where i live they’re the equivalent of 3$ USD for a dozen
Because egg producers are using the hype of bird flu to increase profit margins at the expense of their customers.
Grocery stores are following suit by spreading signs about bird flu and increasing their prices as well.
The eggs in the picture are like the most expensive eggs you can buy. A dozen of the cheapest eggs are around $5-6. Which is still like 3-4 times as expensive as they were a few years ago, but not nearly as insane as what is posted.
In Canada a 30 pack of eggs is $10 CAD, which is just shy of $7 USD.
Must be all that fentanyl making the chicken make more eggs /s
Them eggs is spensive cuz they real good ones. I gottem and gonna eatum with my limited edition cheese and laugh at the poors!
One of the reasons I hate to get on social media is pictures of people flaunting their wealth.
