the actual jist of this thread is that once again biden cannot get his facts right, not really about egg prices, you know, no teleprompter another factual mistake.
I’ve noticed Publix has been charging more on some items than Whole Paycheck. Eggs are $3.39 at Whole Foods. Publix seems to not have their store brand eggs which would be cheaper. The free range eggs are like $5-7 which is probably about $1 more than before the avian flu issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I get fresh eggs from a local farmer and only pay $5 a that's only because the cost of his feed went up. No way would I buy factory farm eggs at that price.
Record profits from egg-cellent earnings. Publix reports third quarter 2022 results and stock price. Excluding the impact of net unrealized losses on equity securities in 2022 and net unrealized gains on equity securities in 2021, net earnings for the nine months ended Sept. 24, 2022 would have been $2.8 billion, compared to $2.6 billion in 2021, an increase of 4.7%. Earnings per share would have been $0.81 per share, compared to $0.76 per share in 2021, adjusted for the effect of the stock split.
This brings up a question that has puzzled me my entire life....Every carton of eggs I have ever bought says Grade A large on it. Is there anywhere you can buy Grade B small?
I have bought medium eggs. I want to say at a grocery store. More often you see extra large and jumbo eggs. I think grade a means good for sale for human consumption.
Yeah I think I read somewhere that grade b & c eggs are used in baking & dehydrated egg products. Many, many years ago when I was in high school I worked a summer job at Tropicana in their quality control lab. We tested for USDA standards, if I remember right Grade A juice had to have a certain sugar & acid content to make the grade A standard. The interesting thing was at least back then in the 60s the top quality juice was not bottled under the Tropicana label, A&P stores had a higher standard so the top quality was bottled under the A&P label. I thought that was a bit strange.
Hasn't that old Delaware codger ever heard the expression, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"?
The state bird of Delaware is the Blue Hen. Reportedly it is not an official recognized breed of bird but has a long history that started during the Revolutionary War with a cockfighting rooster. The Fighting Blue Blue Hens are / is the University of Delaware's mascot. https://sites.psu.edu/meyerpassion/2019/09/14/the-delaware-blue-hen/ "The Blue Hen has a long history intertwined with the state of Delaware. The story begins with cockfighting. "Cockfighting is an 6,000 year old sport that involves chickens… fighting. These birds are referred to as gamecocks, and are often pushed to the brink of death. In the United States, and many other parts of the world, cockfighting is illegal due to it’s cruel nature. However, certain cultures and religious sects still believe that the sport is a prominent part of their lifestyles. The practice was very common in the United States during the time period of the Revolutionary War. "Captain John Caldwell of Delaware raised a gamecock that was a victorious fighter. When heading off to war, the men of Caldwell’s company decided to bring the brood of the famous chicken. This earned them the nickname, “Sons of Blue Hen“. "From this point forward, the Blue Hen became a symbol closely related to Delaware’s history. The bird’s likeness is often used in political campaigns and publications all throughout the state. In recent times, institutions in the area hold a fondness for the Blue Hen. The University of Delaware paid tribute to the beloved animal by making it their mascot. The college has the largest collection of Blue Hens in the world. However, this modern Blue Hen is not exactly the same chicken that gained popularity in colonial times."
I've been buying eggs from Aldi for around $2.50 a dozen. Publix indeed is selling them for $5. Moved 90% of our shopping away from Publix because of their prices.
I do most of my shopping at Walmart and Aldi now. It feels like Publix is 50 percent more than those others.
It can be. Publix OJ on "sale" is 2 for $8 when you can get not from concentrate at Aldi for $2.50. I will say that I have noticed Aldi prices rising as well just not at nearly the same clip as Publix
