We were feeling a bit antsy on Sunday afternoon, the weather was sunny but the wind was chilly...at any rate it was much warmer than it was a year ago. We took the car out for gas and a wash. Gas is $3.39 a gallon. Far Guy needed a new saw to help him out with his latest project so we headed over to Harbor Freight to purchase one. Then we went to Red Lobster for an early supper. The food was delicious...and I am certain I will have seafood dreams (very vivid off the wall dreams).
Jen and Andy were headed to a Super Bowl party...Far Guy will play with his new saw and I will crochet as we are not football fans.
As for the price of eggs. They were $5.39 a dozen the last time I bought them. I must be a terrible shopper as there are some things I do not pay attention to prices...bread, milk, butter, bananas, apples and oranges....we need them every week so we buy them.
Granny Marigold is paying $3.88 for a dozen eggs in Canada. Linda Reeder paid $4.50 for 18 eggs in Washington so that works out to be $3.00 a dozen.
I worked on the Grands photo albums...2014 is all done! I am making progress on a few of my projects. I am watching an old program from 2003 Joe Millionaire while I crochet. Yup that is me 20 years behind the times.

$4.92 at our local Aldi for a dozen.
$8.30 at Walgreens for a cage-free dozen. For that price they should include the cage!
I'm going to the grocery store today. I guess I should check out the price of eggs! Crisco I noticed last week was $12!!!
It was sure a thrilling Super Bowl. I am glad the Chief won but not sure why, exactly. Eggs are cheaper now than they were a month ago.
The price of eggs is ridiculous. Somebody needs to tell those hens to lay ore than one egg a day!!
I don't watch the Superbowl, either--but Dagan and Leah always have a Superbowl Party at their place. To each his own. Your day sounds more fun. ;)
Since I've never watched Joe Millionaire, you're way ahead of me. :)
It's ridiculous that eggs are such different prices across the US and Canada. I suspect it isn't the egg farmers who are profiting the most.
I paid $5.49 for a dozen jumbo eggs yesterday. The smaller sizes were a little cheaper, but we like those jumbos. I'm like you and don't pay much attention to prices of those basic items I buy every week. Red Lobster is one of my favorite places to eat too. I could eat fish and seafood every day of the week I think. Had some fabulous grilled sea bass with lemon risotto on our trip.
I predict some Easter traditions will be very different this year. I haven’t purchased eggs in a long time, as I rarely use them.
I have never seen the price of eggs so high. I haven't bought any here for awile, but they are sold by the 6-pack near the kids house in London. There I paid 3.89 pounds for six. The dollar is more right now than the pound so I'm guessing about 10-12 dollare/dozen! Whoa!
I'm glad the weather is more pleasant for you than it was last year.
I was also sorry to read about your cousins passing. You have certainly had more than your share of loss this year.
And congrats to Adam. Teaching is a very admirable goal.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
For Granny Marigold , allow for the Canadian dollar being able to get 75 cents when we change the Canadian dollar to American dollar. So Granny's eggs would be about $5.50 American money!
Thank goodness we have three faithful hens who lay every day. Three eggs a day add up. :)
Eggs are $2.99 a dozen at Trader Joe’s here in Southern California. The best price around here.
Eggs sure do vary in price. If I had to pay 5.39 a dozen I'd be doing a lot less baking.
No one even mentioned the Super Bowl around here, obviously no one was interested.
Our eggs are cheaper here, but our gas costs a lot more.
If I lived near, Connie, I’d give you eggs. I give eggs away. My Granddaughter sells eggs. Sometimes she gets eggs from me if she is short for her customers. She delivers too. They have to wait until she goes to town.
I pay $5 a dozen to a neighbour farmer here in Ontario, Canada. She hasn't adjusted her prices in a very long time.
Oh lucky you, going to Red Lobster. We love Red Lobster and especially their coconut shrimp! We don't have any around us so have to travel far and wide to find one. We both love football....were raised watching it since we were little kids, so we enjoyed the Super Bowl...but never watch the halftime shows. Sounds like you both had a good day!
On our ridge, Olive supplies the eggs since her hens are producing again.
I try to give her money for the feed, but last time she refused. We even considered getting a few older hens for ourselves. They would lay enough for what we use.
The bird flu is wiping out millions of birds and of course there is inflation.
Our town passed a resolution allowing up to 6 hens in a yard, so we have a lot of egg choices in our rural area.
$5 from the farm, same at the farmers market here.
A dozen and a half of eggs here is $15.00 Sucks
I don't pay attention to prices if it's something I need. People ask what I pay for gas or how many miles I get to the gallon. I don't know and so far I don't care. I know I need it so that's that. I try to combine trips and conserve on gas but I don't keep track of the price. Same with grocery items I need.
Congrats on 2014 done!
My wife went me to the grocery store last week and she showed me the two cartons of eggs that she picked up. She said $8.00. Iowa had to kill off 60 percent of its hens because of the bird flu. It takes time to start over with chicks becoming laying hens. Turkeys were also destroyed. Our president says that inflation is so greatly reduced. He doesn't shop for his groceries.
