That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.
6.19 in Oklahoma.
I moved to California from Tulsa last year and that blows my mind. They’re $12 here one per customer but Cali had made me numb to outrageous prices but that price in Oklahoma brings it all back.
I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.
Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.
He needs to see the target he want to nuke
I know it’s crude but I still can’t kick my love for the idea of a “I raped that too!” Sticker
Not really Trump. That’s avian flu driving that.
There are certainly voters who credit or blame everything in the economy on whoever happens to be President and voted for Trump because they saw a lot of inflation under Biden and hoped that voting for Trump would result in less inflation. Those guys are probably operating on a flawed understanding, though the “if things are going well economically at the moment, credit the President, and if they’re going badly, blame the President, because it must be the current President’s doing” is not a new phenomenon in American politics.
But this particular effect is really driven by nature.
EDIT:

Why are egg prices soaring?
Behind rising egg prices and shortages is a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), known as H5N1, that killed 13.2 million commercial egg-laying hens in the month of December alone and continues to depopulate flocks into 2025, according to the USDA. Outbreaks of H5N1 were first detected in the U.S. in 2022 and are considered to be the main driver behind the years-long volatility in egg prices.
H5N1, which has a high mortality rate among infected poultry and wild birds, is being watched closely by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a potential public health threat. So far, the CDC has received one report of a person dying after being hospitalized with severe illness from the virus. Among cattle, the average mortality and culling rate is 2% or less, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. However, officials warn that H5N1 is lethal to cats
For now, the virus remains mostly a thorn in the side of U.S. consumers fed up with inflation.
And the CDC being ordered to not report any data on the avian flu via an executive order is also not the current administrations fault I guess?
That order has a long-term effect though. In a few months it will probably be significantly worse than it would’ve been without that order but no decision made in the last couple of weeks could affect egg prices today.
Say, is that the same CBS News who’s parent company, Paramount, is currently in talks to settle a legal dispute with Heir Trump because he didn’t like their accurate reporting about him so he sued?
Why yes, yes it is!
If you try to get elected by blaming something on the currently elected official and say that you will fix that, be 100% prepared to take the blame if that thing gets worse even if it was something you had no control in whatsoever, because you stood up and took responsibility for it.
If you don’t want to be blamed for saying stupid things, stop saying stupid things.
I’m calling it Trump Flu, because why not.
The primary problem is most people don’t understand inflation. Inflation is the speed at which things get more expensive. There is always creep up.
That’s what the 3% “cost of living” yearly raise is supposed to cover. It’s not really a “good job” raise, it just keeps your wage exactly the same as the prior year alongside inflation. Another thing a lot of people don’t understand, but that’s a bit of a digression.
So. Inflation speeds or slows but never reverses. Prices never go back down unless there’s recession. When the DC people talked about the economy being good they meant, in part, that inflation was fixed. We were back to 3%. The problem with that is it doesn’t bring down the price of anything. It only means that prices stopped jumping up so high compared to 2019.
So this idea that 2016 prices would return with Trump is based in a misunderstanding of economics. Prices don’t go back down.
In fact, like the COVID jump, I wouldn’t be surprised if the egg industry left prices up once the avian flu passes.
Next thing you know you’ll be telling me Biden had no control over the price of gas! 😉
If only there was some sort of center for disease control that could assist the American public in combating illness. Surely, if such a center did exist, the president wouldn’t hamstring them in some way in which may prevent farmers from taking action against infectious diseases destroying their livestock.
Oh, would you look at that, the president did hamstring the CDC by halting regular release of their scientific reports, and so it is, in fact, on him that bird flu is causing egg prices to soar.

Don’t worry, RFK Jr is going to fix it when he’s heading the HHS!
In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!
No one putting up an ‘I did this’ sticker actually gives a shit about the reasons for the price. And no one ever has.
Joe Biden in office for four years: “I sleep”
Donald Trump in office for a week: “This is why your egg prices went up”
BlueMAGA is such a bleak turn for liberalism. We’re abandoning any idea that federal policy might affect our material conditions. Presidents are just a panacea, an excuse to close our eyes and insist everything is actually great, right up until the election cycle breaks against us at which point its not our fault so we can acknowledge it again.
The only thing Democrats in leadership seem to have learned from movement conservatism is how to lie to their rank-and-file members. Now all we do is pass the buck from one failing administration to another, while asserting everything bad is caused by Wrong Party Backed By Evil Foreign Government.
No wonder the US is embracing genocidal fascism on a national scale.
You do realize the comments are tongue-in-cheek right? It’s because he guaranteed an immediate drop in grocery prices and people are volleying after we had to hear a crapton of “Biden Did That” nonsense while gas prices rose back to previous levels alongside the economic recovery after the pandemic. No one here thinks either president is God.
I don’t know whether you’re just imperceptive or whether you’re being willfully oblivious so you can force-feed us the same bLUemAgA talking points you get rightfully downvoted for in every post.
Whose tongue in whose cheek? Are you hitting on me? It’s working.
😉😉
Looks like I need to fly out to Denver to save some money on eggs.
Its just packaged chicken cum. No big deal.
I was aware the USA has some educational troubles, but either you are trolling or joking or these troubles are much more serious than I anticipated.
Yeah dude
They will have security tags in them soon
Closing in on a buck an egg.
They’re $8.75 for 12 at Aldi in CA. Or if you’re a real saver, 60 for under $45!
8.75/12 = $0.73 per egg.
45/60 = $0.75 per egg.Incredible! With bulk purchasing, I can pay an extra $0.02 per egg.

Jesus that’s a huge difference in the Aldi price nearest me (about an hour by car).
Yeah, you know shit is fucked when eggs are over $8/dozen at Aldi!
Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.
Well that fucking sucks
Ate at 2 in Japan and loved it, asked for whipped cream on my pancakes and the dude very seriously emptied an entire can while staring at me. I tried to stop him, he did not listen
Generally, the staff and vibes are cool. I met some great people working there. They like to put up that front that they’re trying to be cool and edgy. I was a cook for a long time at that point and flipping eggs isn’t exactly hard or special, but they made it this big ordeal, which is fine but you can’t look me in the face and tell me that what we’re doing here is a culinary feat.
With me, I worked at their GCM location in L.A. and they were opening up a new spot in Glendale. They asked me to help open up the store under the stupilation that if I worked for so long and did ‘X’ things, I would get a promotion. When it came time for the raise and I had completed what they asked of me, I was constantly told it would happen, but they would give me the run around. Until finally someone else in the store was eligible as well, so instead of just giving us both the position they made us do a ‘cook off’ and when me and the other persons food came back exactly alike and they couldn’t discriminate the begrudgingly gave me a portion of what they promised.
I cooked for them well, did what they asked of me, and came in on time so they couldn’t fire me unless they wanted to pay me unemployment or maybe have me file a fucking lawsuit for unlawful termination. I just didn’t play ball with their bullshit and didn’t let them walk over me because they left such a bad taste in my mouth with my inital (verbal) offer being essentially reneged upon and they didn’t like that at all. So they just made my job hell until I left. L.A. was hands down the worst place to cook. I’m sure there are a lot of opportunities there for people, but man if you aren’t taken advantage of at every turn…
Oh, also. When L.A. raised their minimum wage, the store in Glendale didn’t get the raise because it wasn’t in L.A. and the whole store went on strike because of it. Don’t know what happened with it. I just heard it second hand from an old coworker.
These fuckers are opening places all over THE WORLD and they nickle and dime their employees and generally treat them like shit. Fuck Jaime, and all of the owners (they were nice in person but they pulled the strings to make our lives hell).
Edit: forgot to say, glad you enjoyed your pancakes ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
They’re $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don’t have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs
Uh…
Love how everyone blames trump for this when egg prices were way up before he was in office.

It’s both.
lol. It’s only been 11 days of his presidency
You mean he can ban transgender, eliminate DEI, fire thousands of people, withdraw from multiple treaties, and start trade wars; but he can’t bring down the price of eggs day one.
Sounds like you just making excuses because you fantasize about gargling his orange eggs in your mouth.
Getting rid of pointless jobs, genders, and identities. All in one day? Damn that’s impressive work
So, I guess no… Denver omelet? Sorry I’ll leave.
Don’t leave man that was a solid one
Thanks! It cracked me uo, too.
Omelette that one slide, but you better watch yourself.
Check out Yoke - oh Ono over here.
So a dollar more than a banana
How much can it cost, Michael?
Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about “Biden’s high eggs prices” just last month. Haven’t heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it’s just “God’s will.”
Nows your chance to return the favour. Complain to her about how expensive eggs are now under Trump.
Nu-uh Fox and friends said it was DEI and wokeness causing eggs prices to soar.
I know it is fun to think about getting back at these people but it doesn’t really work. They were never rational to begin with.
I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They’re sitting on bird gold.
As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that’s if they aren’t sold out due to the shortage.
In Colorado Springs, I’m seeing Eggland’s Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth “Kipster Large” eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.
While these prices are certainly high compared to what we’re used to, it’s definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I’m seeing online.
I can’t imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.
You could just look at their website to see.
So could you… These are the same exact prices that I mentioned in my last comment in their app from the Nine Mile Soopers location in Denver.
I’ll clarify. Not all the prices in Denver are going to be that high since Denver is large. My example from Speer Blvd was likely a worse case scenario since it’s downtown Denver. Not on the edge of the city limits like 9 mile.
You said you can’t imagine the prices being that different in Denver. In some parts, it is. The deals you posted at 9 mile are not representative of Denver as whole. Likewise with the more expensive downtown locations.
I see…
So your point is just that convenience costs more? I don’t think that’s really any kind of news flash for most people.
Whatever dude… I’m not going to waste any more of my time to prove it but I’d bet that the exact same options are actually available at the location you shared screenshots from, as well.
Anyway, have a good one.
new innovation in capitalism! 4-pack of eggs. costs what a dozen used to
