Eggs, milk, butter, flour … if you were making pancakes last year, it would have cost you. Food prices surged in 2022. Grocery prices remain stubbornly high at 11.8% year over year, according to data released Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Blame Russia, the weather, disease and a host of other factors. “Even though we’re seeing inflationary pressures ease, we still have a war in Ukraine,” said Tom Bailey, senior consumer foods analyst with Rabobank.
“It makes it extremely challenging for a mom-and-pop [business].” He added: “We’re just trying to stay alive and hope that things will come down.” But there’s good news on the horizon. The cost of food is still hard to swallow, but the latest Consumer Price Index shows that those price increases — by and large — are at least growing at slower rates. In December, “food at home” prices increased 0.2% from the month before. That’s the smallest monthly increase since March 2021.
NO! 300% rise since fall of 2021. Get it right.
We have been laying over $8 for a dozen eggs in Australia for years!
Whole foods Reston, VA. Others are $8.50 and sure not organic and just regular $5ish
Invest in chickens.
BilLd bAk beTteRer!!
you should check out $nprff neprafoods they have an egg white powder solution. high prices brings about innovation:
Show your mum this, it’s even in America 🤣 IvaDrinkwater
US can't afford the price. After disrupting global supply chains, the United States should enjoy the price increasing.
Not Eggland or other organics their prices are flat. No dead chickens.
Let’s go Brandon! You did again!
Chickens finally unionized
Strange that chicken feed prices remain consistent you have to wonder if some are just cashing in or not.
Yeah but Joe said things are great ?
Thank you Joe Biden 🤓
And what is the Republican plan to get prices down?
get ready for civil war folks
They’ll be back down too. This is so much hype about nothing.
Almost as if endlessly printing money lowers its value? Weird!
Maybe we should just buy chickens instead of eggs.
Time to start having a home coop
Why is the price of feed way up then?
Bidens america
Thanks Deep State Biden Democrats Cabal
The canary egg in the inflation mine
We all have Biden to thank for the huge rise in food prices, especially eggs!😡👎
Yes, somehow, the bird flu only affects eggs. Chicken prices aren't skyrocketing. There's no chicken shortage...just eggs. It is as dumb as it sounds!!!
Blames the flu, forgets that feed for the chickens costs money. Only mentions a little bit of the wage increase being a problem lmfao
Joe Biden sucks
Man made crisis. They are poking the bear to find what sets it off. Finding complacency and continuing the subversion of our rights. Revolutionary war is the end of these times no matter the 'side' you're on.
More great work from Brandon and his left wing clowns.
Eat other things chicken are big break maybe util next year humans …. Hasta la vista BYEEEE chicken 🐓
Unintended consequence of liberalism
Not clicking, since you'll likely blame Biden. The reason egg prices are so high is because of the Avian flu wiping out 25 million chickens and gas prices to transport the eggs (while oil companies make record profits). But mostly, a limited supply in many parts of the nation.
FJB
Bird Flu!!!!! Just like a few years ago!!!!! Climate Change too hot chicken's die too cold chicken's die!!!! Not enough water chicken's die!!!!
Where do they get 59.9% from. Eggs were 0.99 /dozen a year ago Eggs are now around 4.50 / dozen.
So don't buy them. Boy that was easy.
Thank you Brandon!
Funny. I just bought eggs this weekend and paid $3.18 for an 18 pack. No difference then I paid a year and 2 years ago.
Don't u Kobe capitalism?
Build Back Better
What world do you people live in? $2 to $7 is over 300%
These prices are egg-crustating! But your internet bill doesn't have to be. We offer 15GB of FREE high-speed internet per month! Check out our profile to learn more!
Thats a biden win.
Progressive policies are hurting the poor in California $10.00 for 20ct, before it was $3.99 per 20ct..eventually you people rather spin it for friend at the DNC.
Short of eggs in New Zealand as well
Don't tell 10% Joe. He thinks everything is just peachy. That is what he is told by handlers just before his nap.
Welcome to Biden’s America 😅😂🤣.
Thank you biden and trudeau!
Eggs make me nauseous 🤢🤢🤢
And profits jumped by the same amount. What a coincidence!
And the prices will never go down!! Thank a local Democrat!!!!
yea, the 'FLU'.....
JessTraxler Have you guys had enough of the unnecessary proxy war?
May 2022 marked one of the months with the largest egg imports in the US, totaling $11.3M, mainly from the Netherlands and Canada.
toluogunlesi come and celebrate this too.
Depends where you shop
Joe biden for you at least we got drag queens for kids right I mean that’s what we need in a time of starvation and a failing economy is to teach kids to fuck joe Biden’s son would be good at that
I haven’t bought an egg for probably 35 years.
卖鸡蛋真的比买股票赚钱，我把这叫做“”
It’s almost as if the government is printing away everyone’s life savings. 🤔 Only Bitcoin is the life raft.
Climate change
59%
Who taught you math? Over 200% increase here. From $1.89 to $4.99.
If eggs are expensive, don't buy it. Let them rot.
I’ve not seen a change in pasture-raised egg prices.
I used to pay $1.99 for a dozen eggs here in AZ. This past weekend they were $8.19. Do the math.
Whoever controls prices is to blame I don’t know how people can’t see this, this applies to literally everything. But yeah I’m this so called free market system let’s blame some idealistic mysterious invisible hand of capital or something.
Biden did it. When will you report that
😳😳😳
LETS GO BRANDON !!!!
The govt even froze prices to try to stop inflation back then. The arabs and their oil gave many other industries the idea to raise prices and create shortages. Sugar, flour, and many more.
It's really $6 now
Fake News. Try about 200%.
S*** eggs are $10 a dozen in Colorado
Joe
Democrats/liberals don't mind paying more.
FJB
What eggs? My Costco had no eggs yesterday, and it was the last store in town to run out. Thanks dems!
jasonanavitarte Might be time to set up that coop in my backyard! InflationSolution
Buy a chicken
Want to raise prices, fabric a shortage, don’t forget sugar
Thanks Joe
i live in a place where avg gas prices are like 1.50 more than the nationwide avg. I went to store scared yesterday cause we needed eggs. 5 dozen eggs for 15.99. Is that a lot? What are people paying now?
Then buy $EGGS eggserc
Build back better baby!!!! FJBiden
Price gouging! The corporate guys are making millions.
F A K E N E W S !
My local municipality, Sharon MA, charges $35 annually to keep a hen. The fee pays for the cost to administer the fee.
Ya, because liberals suck as humans and only protect their scum bag friends.
Prices go up at an astonishing rate, but when was the last time you yourself had a decent pay raise Its not the fact egg prices and other crap have increased, its that pay check to blame!
Thanks to you people in the media who bent over backwards to bring us the Biden admin.
Biden sucks 👎🏻
This is the last thing I’m worried about. Meat is the real issue here
In 1973, inflation was going to last forever.
Thanks crooked Biden
This is Joe Biden’s America.
Every company is taking advantage of people since Biden screwed up the supply chains day 1 with pete
Biden blames Russia
FJB bidenInflation LetsGoBrandon ImpeachBiden BidenWorstPresidentInHistory BidenWorstPresidentEver
As he flys away In a helicopter every weekend to his vacation home 😂 while you can barely afford to feed your family. 🙏
Another scam.
Liberals “BiDeN 20tewnety4!!!!’” Trump was so bad but you can barely afford to eat now lol. like Obama did. You’re all puppets. Conservatives could care less about Trump. you’ve been sucked into thinking Big government is the answer lol. What happened to the hippies? billmaher
Thanks to the worst people in our country. Democrats.
ThanksBiden Bidenflation
Just figured that out
Another Biden failure.
Thanks, Biden
Didn't POTUS JoeBiden and TheDemocrats say that egg prices were coming down and that prices generally were dropping?
So who do we have to bomb to take their cheap eggs
I paid $8.79 for 2 dozen large organic eggs at Costco.
Brandon says the economy is kicking ass!
Putins egg hike
wtf ? where are the chickens ?
This is the agenda to make people weak eating just insects and vegetales.
Dimocrats
Thanks democrats!
Sure. Has nothing to do with literally record profits and price fixing. DO BETTER.
Thank Biden.
There was no pandemic in 1970s, too..
Thanks Biden!
Hmmm 🤔
AOC: it’s not Brandon. It’s corporate greed!
poor get poor rich get more rich. To middle class welcome to our strangle
fake news CNN under demecrat President Carter it was never in history as high as now but gas lines were horrendous.
If everyone would just have chickens they could have free eggs everyday and there would be no need to be bothered about how much the price went up or down
Those chickens must be making a killing. Good for them!
Eggs cost so much now that I don't feel like using them much when I buy them because now they've come from the goose who lays golden eggs.
Winter months people eat more eggs, more demand, this also contributes to price increase. Bread, Milk and Eggs cost should be monitored, maybe government should subsidize essential food items. 🆓🥚
It’s a regional issue. Here in Western Washington a 18 pack of eggs are still only $2.42.
remember to cook eggs over 70° C. at leat for 5 minutes
Biden is not the cause!
This is why you don’t vote for democrats.
I’m actually shocked cnn is reporting this
Nowadays men are looking for women that know how to catch a chicken 😍
Corporate greed
Everything Democrats touch turns to💩
Avian flu spread like wildfire because the FDA and CDC were more concerned about pushing covid boosters and mask mandates than doing their actual job. FJB and those who continue to prop up his worthless government.
Only a democrat can mess up that much.
But Biden is doing so well or so you claim so frequently
Domestic poultry farming is getting important to eat eggs
Let’s go Brandon! Is this because of JoeBiden’s sloppy handling of classified documents as well?
Madam henny are more stressing for hatching now cause she know the human are need so badly with her eggs 🤩🤩🤩
Putin!!!!
We need to stand up to those Saudi egg barons
You pushed Biden for President this is what happened…weekend at Bernie’s destroyed everything
Oh no, responsibility within the supply chain and a lack of animal abuse. What will we do ...
Thanks Brandon
What happened to reducing inflation, huh? What happened CNN? Maybe it was the scaremongering and shutting down the world economy for 2 years, and printing money and pretending that it won't fuck the economy harder. Ever heard of a place caller Weimar Germany? Got read a book.
Hallelujah! We shouldn’t be eating them. 👏🏼 Too bad so many had to die for us to feel inconvenienced.
Oh great, Dem policies are only slightly screwing families now. Take that you plebiscites!
5his can't be true because Biden and White House continually tell us how this is greatest economy all time
Know what else is hard to swallow? Bullsh*t. So stop trying to feed it to us.
Government is the problem!
~ it certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
But Biden says we don’t suck as bad as we did? Win Win, right?
Yea, they are STILL growing thanks to Biden. We haven't seen the reports on heating fuel. It's been buried by the fake news.
CNN IS FAKE NEWS FASCIST COMMUNIST EXTREME LEFT
Thank god, finally some relief, prices are rising slower. Torture is suppose to be slow and painful so they are doing a good job. This inflation is past ridiculous. If Covid doesn’t get you inflation will.
CNN sucks.
Let's go Brandon.
Who cares. So you are paying $4.50 instead of $3.00.
TheDemocrats ERODING AMERICA ONE POLICY AT A TIME
If wages have to keep up with that, and then rents go up because wages did...insane has economy wheel
That’s good for chickens’ wages. More opportunities & better 2023 vacations for chickens families.
Have you asked the WhiteHouse about this trend.
“Egg prices have increased by 59.9% year over year, a rate not seen since 1973” -thinks to the bird flu, which had producers kill over 50 million birds last year.
How about the grocery stores are not paying the farmers what they want for there eggs. Yes inflation on the farmer. The few eggs the stores do get are inflated. The stores make same amount on fewer eggs. Simple business.
They were $2.38 for an 18 count at Walmart this morning
Inflation is 6.5% just every item you buy is experiencing much greater inflation
Thanks democrats
WHOM COULD YOU BLAME, CNN OF COURCE, SHAME
Thanks for this, too, Joe.
Inflation, avian flu to blame.. is definitely not Bidens fault
50 million birds dead and the response is “11.99…”.
An overlooked consequence of the utter failure that is the Biden presidency. My son, when he was 12, had a better economic plan with his lemonade stand...
Still Cheaper than a Starbucks Grande!
Not true. Avian Flu is a problem every year. Stores are not paying farmers enough for eggs to cover their rising costs so they cut orders for hens and won’t produce eggs at a Loss. Costs went up & what they are being paid stayed the same. Someone is pocketing huge profits.
What's the cause of inflation? The speed of US going green without having any infrastructure in place and refusing to frack gas and oil until it is. Btw, when the cost of eggs was $1.79 and it reached $4.25, the rate of increase is 137%, not 60%.
CNN had to add inflation with the Avion flu
Thanks Blue Bellies!
Ever heard of the golden egg
🤡👇Joe Biden, stop your lies and admit the truth Record inflation. Record crime. Record illegal immigration. Expensive groceries. Expensive gas. Expensive utility bills. Failing schools. Foreign policy disasters. High mortgage rates. 401k’s down. A failed administration
Omegama36117904 Let’s Go Brandon
Democratic politicians got us here ! I’m 66 and seen this coming only because it’s not the first time I’ve seen this! Oh CNN propaganda machine for the treasonous corrupt politicians! Democrats
Why I switched to raven eggs 😂😂
100% LIE!!!
But inflation is getting better.
😳
Biden’s doing a bang up job with the Inflation Reduction Act.
Avian flu
'Damn Joe Biden and the Dems!!!' Oh wait, Avian Flu world wide....
What cost more: 'The Chicken or the Egg?' lol
1973? I think Biden was president then.
Don’t worry the administration is saying their policies are working to correct the problems their policies created.
And how much did Zelenskyy make?
Yet you continue to blow those that did it.
Give Democrats more money = Everything gets worse
Yea. Food is a necessity. There is no way around it.
...2021.. Eggs were $.99 a doz.. Last week they were $3.84 at Walmart for store brand.. $7.00 a doz for 'Eggland`s Best'.. do the math.. y`all are way off.. Coolers full.. no shortage.. Like gas.. no lines..no shortage..just Wall Street price gouging..
Stop it with the eggs. It's because of Avian flu not inflation
Gee it's almost like the media just completely disregarded the monopolies and corporate greed side to this.
And yet, companies are making record profits...
Still Biden claims the economy is better now then what he inherited 😂
