Egg prices

[eljefino]

Eggs historically have gone up in price as Easter nears compounded by a bird flu which has been in the news. The prices are still much cheaper than they were a couple years back.

I have my own small flock of backyard chickens and they naturally lay less in winter. In fact I had to buy a dozen eggs for the first time in a long time last week. It only takes a couple percent change in an inelastic demand to push prices up a lot.

I almost laid an egg myself when I saw the price for a dozen eggs at a local farm stand: $18! Their 8-inch pies were $30. I've got decently long arms and shallow pockets but I won't roll with that. I will keep enjoying my bartered eggs.,
