My grocery order this week included 2 cartons of 18 eggs. At the current price, that purchase cost me almost $12 for 36 eggs.
I don’t eat anything until I’ve put in treadmill time so what I fixed this morning was basically for two meals. Still, a simple breakfast prepared at home without meat should be really cheap, right?
I figure what I prepared AT HOME cost about $5 dollars…
The Walmart site tells you that the cost per egg is approximately 32 cents. What it doesn’t tell you is what that means you’re paying per pound for eggs — but I will tell you. It’s about $3.00 per pound.
For the record… eggs are $9+ in Las Vegas right now.
Since I have plenty of space on the barndo property, I’m thinking I need to add laying hens and a fat rooster. If you think I’m joking, check out my thoughts on shelleyerwin.com. I already asked Mr. Pesky if he’d be “in” on the chicken raising thing, but his answer was less than enthusiastic. Once I said Perry would be assigned the feeding task, he started to lean my way. 😉
At what age does the average human start caring about how much eggs cost?
There are some that are a whole lot more careful with money than I am. The Peskies can tell you the price of a gallon of gas down to the tenth of a dollar for the entire state of Indiana at any given moment. Katie uses coupons and has been talking about egg prices for weeks. Yet here I am… thinking about owning laying hens to save around $40 a month on egg purchases but would drop 10 times that amount at a casino in a night.
So whatever the age is for the average human when they start to care about the price of eggs — it’s less than how old I am right now.
