Why is everyone so obsessed with eggs? Do people really eat them that often and if so, is it some kind of addiction like coffee or what? Stop paying those prices, stop buying the damn eggs.
Eggs are also used in a lot of baked goods. If you’re cooking at home and making a lot of things from scratch, eggs are common ingredients. In addition to that they’re also an excellent source of protein that doesn’t require any forethought or planning to just make in minutes. My husband and I go through a dozen every 7-10 days depending on what I’m making. That’s not a ton, but considering most grocery prices are up it’s frustrating. I can cut back on a lot of things, and I can make alternative recipes that don’t include eggs for a lot of things, but then those things have a different texture, less protein, or can’t exist at all. I’m already cooking nearly everything from scratch at home to save money as it is. Not buying eggs is a bigger sacrifice than many realize, especially for someone that loves to bake.
Eggs are interesting because they are generally a very cheap food for what they are. If you can’t afford to spend much on food, eggs are generally still within your reach. Without cheap eggs the options for nutrition for people without much money are significantly curtailed.
They also drive news because they have dramatic surges with bird flu, which happens every few years.
Unlike other products, they tend to recover from the surge prices to reset things so the next surge still looks dramatic.
