      Prices of eggs will go down if nobody can afford them because there’s no jobs.

          Holy shit I thought 6.15 for dozen was cheap here where I am at. Thanks for information. What the value difference in currency?

            Last grocery shop in the Intermountain west, 1 dozen was over $10. May be re-evaluating recipes for a bit. Could sub 2 pounds of sausage and still save money.

            Currency converter says $3.93. So not quite half price, but still a lot cheaper than in the U.S. right now I guess.

                No luck on the latter yet, but the former two are not at issue at the moment, thanks.

                    Good luck to you.
