In June 2019 a dozen eggs averaged $1.20 vs. $2.72 now . . . up 127%.
In other words, the price has more than doubled in five years.
Yesterday I paid $3.39 at my local grocery, for one of the last two cartons available. The place was cleaned out!
I save 50 cents on a dozen there, if I remember to download their coupon. But that's still $2.89/dozen, not $2.72.
Sam's Club's equivalent is $2.19/dozen . . . but they're . . . ALL OUT.
So I pay a fat membership fee at Sam's for the privilege of paying 83% more for eggs than I did in 2019.
But not this week.
This illustrates why half of the country, which makes less than $41,000 per year, is still PISSED.
