Today is the birthday of my one and only. Ben didn’t want cake or ice-cream or anything other than an expensive gift. Yup. You can forgo all the typical celebratory stuff so long as the gift is nice… and expensive. Some things never change. I love him lots… even though he’s a #1 butthole.
That hasn’t changed either. 🙂
Considering an expensive gift, I thought about buying him a couple chickens and a fat rooster.
- A 2-pack of 18 eggs purchased at Walmart last week cost $3.42.
- This week, the exact same eggs are $7.88.
Some sources say it’s because of the war in Ukraine — they’re a major grain producer. Other sources say drought conditions in the US have pushed wheat and corn prices up significantly. And even other sources say it’s because of inflation and gas prices plus the bird flu outbreak.
No matter, we need to get ready.
If eggs are that much higher in one week, we can expect a whole lot of other stuff to jump in price too. Right?
I should’ve bought the chickens. 😉
