I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

    Jokes aside, over here in Europe a dozen large eggs cost between 5.16 and 7.80 € (for cheap barn eggs and pricey organic eggs respectively. Cage eggs have been outlawed for quite some years already)

      Have you actually seen what a cage-free barn is like? They still spend their entire lives touching at least one other individual, choking on ammonia, never seeing the sky, never expressing any of their natural behaviors. There is no compassionate advantage to cage-free vs caged as it is practiced in the UK.
