2.5 dozen = $20.39

$20.39÷30= $0.68 per egg.

The discount bulk store brand is still $8.16 per dozen where I am.

Eggs are 12 dollars a dozen near me.

Good thing I know someone with chickens who sells her surplus eggs for 2 bucks a dozen lol

They're using early January numbers instead of late January or early February.

[–] Plum@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

So it doubled in a month. Fun times, yall.

Yeah idk where that number is coming from. I spent $8+ for a dozen the other days. It’s ridiculous.
