Welp. Not that we were holding our breath anyway, but I think we can kiss reasonable egg prices good-bye for the foreseeable future. I photographed this sign affixed to the egg cooler at the Bellingham, WA Winco grocery store this morning. You know what? I only eat 1 or two eggs during a normal week, so I think I'll just skip eggs altogether for a while. By the way, one dozen large, free range eggs cost $4.65 today, about a dollar more than we usually pay. We just returned from California where the cost was between $5 and $7 per dozen. #BirdFlu #H5N1 #Pandemic #USPol #USPolitics #Eggs #Groceries #Healthcare #PublicHealth

@shansterable I wish all I paid was $4.65 for pastured organic eggs, when they have them.

@WmShakesp3are I think $4.65 is within the range of reasonable, but Winco obviously thinks its customers will think the price is high. I was pretty shocked to see $7 dozens in California though. That seems within the realm of predatory price-gouging, and they weren't even apologizing for it or trying to make excuses. Winco is an employee-owned regional chain whereas the store in California that had $7 eggs is part of a monopolistic mega chain. Go figure. Those "economies of scale" the monopolists claim will bring prices down never seem to pan out, do they?

@shansterable @WmShakesp3are winco isn’t that small and regional, in fact they have locations in California
