Where I live (So. Cal.) price of eggs have doubled in last year. Two reasons: 1. Bird flue outbreak 2. Cage size restrictions Law. I quit buying eggs at the grocery store three months ago. I buy them from a friend, he owns a coin shop locally and has a small organic farm out in the country. I bought groceries yesterday, eggs were $4.85 per dozen. I bought a dozen from my friend $3.00 a dozen today, organic free range (not raised in a cage). I keep telling my GF, I'm going to get my own chicken. I really can't as my city passed a ordnance banning chickens two years ago. It was funny when I first bought a dozen of the organic eggs, GF wanted to know why they were brown. After she tried them, she decided they were better and OK (so glad to hear that). Even happier she hates to grocery shop!
The price of eggs is just another example of special interest groups (lobbyist) and politician passing laws, without concern or care about the rest of us!
