Lemme share something with you people.
Eggs are still stupid cheap, today. However, there are too many greedy people between the producer and people that need them for eating.
My everyday job has me go around to places most will not go and one day I discovered an egg farm, somewhat off the beaten path, that sells directly. Only requirement is that they sell a minimum of thirty eggs (a tray).
I made a few questions and now I'm bringing eggs weekly from there, invoiced to me by weight. No size distinction but most eggs are L size. Roughly speaking, each egg is 0,1667€, with VAT already included. The same egg in supermarkets is sold anywhere between 6 to 11 cents more expensive.
That's too much.
51 2 ReplyEggs in the supermarket near me are anywhere from $4.99 to $12.99 for 12.
Eggs from farmers near me are $4 for 12.
Easy to guess where I buy my eggs.
25 0 ReplyThe 4.99 at the supermarket because it's not worth the extra time to swing by the farmers?

Wow, this comment thread is like I'm back in reddit! Does this mean lemmy's made the big time, that now we're getting disinformation and bots? 🤩
17 2 ReplyBots are much easier on Lemmy compared to Reddit, so I'm surprised we don't see a huge number of them.
