ALDIs had a 5 carton limit at .89 cents, so in essence you could stock up for future needs. But eggs were nowhere near the $3.09 that you posted. You LIED!


BTW, I haven’t been to ALDIs in years. Is it still a quarter to get a shopping cart? Or did Bidenomics push it to .50 cents?

Bam, just admit you didn't read the article and don't understand what's being said or the context. Those were real prices.

As real as the price of eggs behind Vance while he's lying through his teeth in front of a sign confirming that he's lying through his teeth.

Important context for $3.09 below. Be sure to show us your receipts for that week in March 2020. I'm sure that, even though it means nothing, we'll all be very happy for you that you may have paid low prices during the early pandemic surges

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Increased demand for eggs in the United States has sent egg prices soaring in recent weeks as consumers scramble to stock up on staples due to coronavirus shutdowns.

Wholesale prices of "Midwest large" eggs hit an all-time high of $3.09 a dozen on Thursday, triple their level in early March, before President Donald Trump declared a national emergency, according to the Urner Barry market reporting service that provides daily monitoring of commodity egg prices.

That could have big consequences for consumers given that eggs are an inexpensive form of protein - and a staple in some 93% of U.S. households.

Consumer prices have also increased, although not quite as much as wholesale prices, experts said, since some grocery stores have not passed on the higher wholesale prices - at least for now.

Brian Moscoguiri, a director with Urner Barry, said the current spike in wholesale prices exceeded that seen in 2015 during the avian flu outbreak and was due to increased demand.

Eggs weren’t $3.09 in 2020. I buy eggs every week. I don’t need to read your bullshit. Just like gas was $2:30 in Pa, $1.80 in Ohio and WVa. Now, it’s $3.65 in Pa and $3.45 in WVa. The simple fact is, EVERYTHING is more expensive now than 2020. Not just eggs.You can’t spin this Mr Gristle. It’s a fools errand.

Thank you Gristle for explaining this more eloquently than I would.


I am not debating any historical prices on eggs.


I made this thread to point out that
- JD Vance was holding 24 eggs as an example
- He was standing in front of a cooler selling 12 eggs for $2.99, literally right behind him
- JD Vance says 12 eggs cost $4


I am not talking about how much eggs cost in 2020 (though JD Vance did). I'm not talking about the price fluctuation of eggs.


I'm talking about Vance saying 12 eggs cost 4, while standing in front of a sign that says 12 eggs cost 2, while holding 14 eggs.

Vance was pointing out the eggs are more expensive under Biden/Harris. They are. Well, 6 weeks from today we find out if we get affordable groceries or WW3. Trump wins, affordable eggs. If not…………..

By the way, USDA publishes numerous farm related commodities reports daily for various regions, states and national.
I happen to watch the cattle reports.
Yes Commodities, as in commodities trading.

Now part of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange

For this thread, for eggs, there was a temporary up spike in early September, but that's already gone.

My point being, highly accurate data is available for weeks, months and years, so it's amusing to see politicians, newsies and other folks do knee-jerk reactions to isolated events.

- The price for 12 eggs, which are right behind him, cost $2.99

Man is downright retarded.

I watched the video. There are a variety of eggs on the shelf behind him at different prices. One says "$3.99".

I'm sure you could pay even more than $4 for a dozen eggs if you prefer cage-free jumbos.

Exactly. But people in this thread think eggs are the same price today as 4yrs ago. LMAO!!!!

Wish you would read. You'd see his numbers are wholesale while you're fixated on your memory of what you paid at Aldi and using inflation adjusted retail pricing data.

The point is, Vance can't make his point without shooting himself in the foot and looking like an ass when he's standing in front of an instant fact check

Gibberish. Vance was standing in front of the egg cooler. Different eggs, different prices. They’re all more expensive than 4yrs ago. Unless you have your own Roosters and chickens, you pay retail price. As usual, you try to make things more difficult than they are.

Except that he didn't. Watch the video again. One sticker says $3.99 and another is over 4 bucks. The people who look like asses are the so-called fact checkers.

[HDGristle]

And that's how we get back on topic

Exactly, Vance didn’t say a specific price. He said “around $4”. Which is true.

Those youtube vids zoom in on the cheaper eggs ($2.99) and ignore the ones costing $3.99 and up!

Man, is this really the best the dishonest left-wing media can come up with?? They look desperate!

It’s all they have. People who actually shop at grocery stores know reality. It’s irrefutable. Eggs are more expensive than 2020.
