    Lemme share something with you people.

    Eggs are still stupid cheap, today. However, there are too many greedy people between the producer and people that need them for eating.

    My everyday job has me go around to places most will not go and one day I discovered an egg farm, somewhat off the beaten path, that sells directly. Only requirement is that they sell a minimum of thirty eggs (a tray).

    I made a few questions and now I’m bringing eggs weekly from there, invoiced to me by weight. No size distinction but most eggs are L size. Roughly speaking, each egg is 0,1667€, with VAT already included. The same egg in supermarkets is sold anywhere between 6 to 11 cents more expensive.

    That’s too much.

    You guys don’t throw cow manure at your traitorous neighbour’s freshly white washed house walls?

      If you’re getting fancy eggs. The mass produced eggs are like $2.99.

        In a high cost-of-living area too?

        $7.42 at Wal-Mart in Northern California omg wtf (that’s for the fake cage free, that discount store doesn’t even have the pasture raised at all)

          I‘m glad Austria banned battery cage systems in 2009 and the EU banned it in 2012. Also, Austria banned cages in 2020 and regulated the amount of animals depending on the space of the stable.
