I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)
In Europe tho price off eggs are still stable. Even if they rise I live rural so I know some local egg producers so I’ll always have access to cheap eggs.
I had to give up animal products and soy. At this point, I’d pay the $10/dozen if I could eat one without being sick. 😉
Half the time I go to the store there aren’t any eggs. The highest ones are 10$ a dozen. The reg ones are $5 a dozen. But again that’s when they’re available in the first place.
I’m becoming an inveg – involuntary vegan
I’m going to start using that, I’m in a similar position.
LOL. I came up with inveg back in 2018 after I had to go vegan due to major heart surgery. I use it all the time but you’re the first person I have ever seen use the term other than me even though “involuntary veganism” has got to be a thing for plenty of people who’ve had a near death health issue.
I didn’t realize, but same. Meat, besides chicken, is becoming more and more of a treat. Even then, I get stuff with bones and save them for stock. Not vegan, I know, but definitely much more plant focused than I remember being.
Not much if at all. It’s around $3 for a dozen eggs, not $10+ like in some places in the US right now.
Where?
Canada. A dozen eggs is worth around $3 USD
Yeah, 25¢/egg would be a reasonable price.
It’s about the same price where I am in Australia. We had a bird flu outbreak last year which meant there was some shortages but prices haven’t gone crazy.
Have you tried unfettered capitalism?
We do have that here. All our food comes from one of only three grocery brands. Two of which make up 90% of the market. There was a government commission into the cost of groceries but nothing has really been happened other than one CEO quitting under public pressure. But then again eggs are only $AUD 5.19/dozen so maybe it worked more than we realised.
I barely use eggs, maybe one or two every once in a while to make something but in the morning I’m in a hurry so it’s breakfast shakes for me!
I don’t buy eggs, so not directly.
The price of eggs in particular I haven’t noticed. I have been vegan for ten years, so I am over here trying to give people tips on how and where to replace eggs with other, cheaper stuff. I do anlot of baking and cooking, so I have tried all the swaps the internet recommended and have a pretty good idea which ones work.
However, the price of food as a whole is going up as well, and I don’t expect it to stop anytime soon. I am hoping to set up a ‘victory garden’ to try to help. If anyone else is looking into this, I recommend looking for an official victory garden guide that would have been issued for your particular area. I found one that was written by an agricultural professor at the University of Ithaca in NY, for example, and it goes over what crops and food preservation methods will work in my area. It will give you important information about temp tolerances, which is about to be more important than ever.
