  • I’m in Denver as well, you can’t find regular eggs in stock. The only thing I can find is the cage-free/brown egg stuff. So this price isn’t too far off (especially for King Soopers (Kroger). I’ve seen price tags for as low as $5.50, but never in stock (this was at Trader Joe’s).

    I go to a local grocery store, end of last year a dozen eggs could be had on special (pretty regularly) for $1. I spent $4.50 for a half-dozen on sale… ($9/dozen). It came with a card that said Jubilant Julie is the bird of the month, LMAO. This was the cheapest option, including sold-out stuff.

    My recommendation to OP is stop shopping at King Soopers and Safeway. Shop around, try out Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Target, etc. Or, better yet, find a local grocery store (Brother’s Market, Max Market, Clark’s Market, Sun Market, Syracuse Market to name a few). Not only will it probably be a better product for the same/less price, but you’ll support a local business and you won’t have to wait in line for 10+ soul-crushing minutes.



  • The park that I live next to has 3 apple trees (I’m in USA). These are not grocery store apples, they’re small and riddle with bugs, this isn’t an orchard.

    When the apples are ripe, they’ll get picked by kids and familes for a couple weeks. Nobody hordes them, nobody sees it as stealing, they’re cool, and great for the community.

    I’m just sad that they’re getting old and about to die. There used to be 5 just a couple years ago. I think they may have planted a couple new saplings, but I’m not an arborist.

    Fruit trees typically don’t live as long as other trees, that’s probably why parks and rec usually don’t plant them. Having to replace an apple tree every 25 years as opposed to a Maple, Oak, Sycamore, Pine, Elm, Cedar every 100-200+ years, kinda an easy choice. With that said, I like it, and think it’s worth. More parks should have a handful of them.
