Them eggs is spensive cuz they real good ones. I gottem and gonna eatum with my limited edition cheese and laugh at the poors!
Limited edition cheese - grated, plated and curated!
Just 2 more payments, gentlemen, and this beautiful 12-slot luxury egg carton is all mine!
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.
And goose eggs are also way better than chicken eggs for a lot of pastry.
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.
no but see it's about hierarchy. the factory farm is bigger than me, and so I must serve it and obey on its terms. the local farm is just a person. I bet I could take them in a fight. therefore they should serve me and all interactions should be on my terms.
Here in southern california the only eggs I have even seen on shelves are my usual small farmers market eggs, which are now the same price or cheaper than the grocery store. It has been astounding me that the better and now cheaper option is the one not sold out. Humans really are just psychology multiplied.
If me neighbor had eggs like that I would buy it as often as they would let me.

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
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

Subscription payment on eggs is wild! lol
You call indebting/loan a "subscription" in US?
We could call it Satan’s hell payment if that fits better or parasitical payment…
Even worse, it's buy now pay later.
Just watched a video a month ago about how Gen Z is doomed to own nothing when we die, and how so many of us are in crazy debt already because of buy now pay later services. So thankful me and my sister are borderline allergic to spending money and that I just hate shopping for clothes because that shit was depressing to hear.
Apparently my gen fell into this debt whole because we think they're not the "scary & bad" loans that our 2008 financial crisis parents had, these are "different" somehow 😬

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.

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

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.

I used to buy these after recent price hikes. To be fair, these were always three times the price than regular eggs.
Yeah, but they were $8.99 before the shenanigans started.
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.
