Well, I did make it to Ruler Foods as I mentioned earlier was the plan and got pretty much everything that was on my list. It was a bit frustrating that I did not need potatoes or onions—I have plenty and they're a perishable—because both were on sale for $1.97 for 5 pounds of potatoes and $1.97 for 3 pounds of yellow onions.
Oh well, maybe the sale prices will continue until I need either of those two items.
But while I was there I wanted to glance at their egg prices. Not that I was expecting a deal worth taking home, but I do need eggs (I have 7 left) and if the price would have been good, I'd have gotten some.
But I got sidetracked and forgot to look. I bet they were 99 cents or something and this is just a little irony to throw at me. The one time I don't check is the time the deal of the century just passed me by.
Oh well. Can't cry over spilled milk, and what I don't know won't kill me.

I have found a way to circumvent the high price of eggs altogether....I just tell my daughter to grab a dozen eggs on her way home from work. Let her pay those high prices, not me! LOL

@moffittjc I wouldn't know, and sending the cats out for eggs would be useless. lol

Oh well. Better luck next time. Perhaps getting sidetracked meant that there wasn't anything worth the time.

I thought of you when I read this article today. The average price of a dozen eggs is almost $5 and in CA they are almost $8. But no worries because Trump is going to magically lower the price of them, right?

No. He is not going to magically lower the price of eggs, or anything else for that matter. He will thoughtfully examine what lead to the inflation in the first place and remove those things to help lower the costs that were added to the costs of our goods and services, such as energy.
Keep in mind the last time someone said, "What, does Trump have a magic wand," and laughed. Trump pulled out a magic wand and did exactly what Barack Obama said could not be done.

@NJChicaa Because you aren't thinking things through. You can't see past your hatred and you have an inability to see the world with clear vision. Based on the disaster Biden left in his wake, if you think for one minute HE was thinking anything through...
You're pretty damn blind, and make no mistake about that.
If you think that a single coherent thought ever went through Harris' head with all of those scrambled word salads she spit out...
It is even clearer you aren't able to see anything at all.

With an 18 pack of eggs at $7 here, I won't be making egg salad or deviled eggs for a while. Maybe you didn't miss a great sale.

My local Russian store was selling an 18-pack of large white eggs for $11.99. 
And they weren’t organic or cage free.

The cheapest dozen large brown eggs at my local Russian store were $7.99. Of course, I didn’t buy them. Hubby went to the supermarket and a carton of dozen large brown eggs were $4.49 so he grabbed them. That ain’t cheap but not too bad considering egg prices these days.
