Mr Peacetrain just got home from the store... eggs $1.18 a dozen

[Peacetrain]

He had a completely full grocery bag with a fresh pineapple and celery and a couple of other things.. total $7.42... this is from ALDIs in Coralville Ia..

I don't know about anyone else.. but our grocery prices are starting to come back down..



Edit to add... I think the last case of bird flu we saw was in December here.. that is what made the eggs so expensive

[Lovie777]

1. Whoa hooo............

Prices still high in Los Angeles

[Peacetrain]

2. I was wondering if it was just our smaller community

Aldis.. but it sure helps I was so happy

[Flo Mingo]

3. Completely unrelated to inflation and the cost of eggs..........

Why do people insist on adding an "s" to Aldi? Some letters are silent and apparantly some are invisible.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. I would not add the "s". Not without first ...

... adding an apostrophe. Shopping at Aldi's.

[Peacetrain]

14. ROFL.. Blame it on the Iowegian dialect.. we add an S to everything... like our MN and Canadian

brothers and sisters. But the big difference.. is we do not Uff Dah.. We Uffed Hope that helps clear it up or in my case "ups"

4. Meat is cheaper right now

Picked up some porterhouse steaks for a special occasion this weekend for $7.99 a pound.

5. Dark Brandon strikes again

Bird Flu cannot resist his power.

[Peacetrain]

15. Oh you know I am stealing that!!!

[hippywife]

6. Still depends on what you're buying.

Prices on some things are still high.

[gratuitous]

7. I remember that price of eggs leading off national newscasts

It was the fall of the republic, eggs retailing for four or five dollars. And since they're such a staple of everyone's diet, we all suffered. Suffered, I tell you!

Now egg prices are back to a more customary price, and the national media have forgotten all about this vital issue, an indicator and benchmark of our nation's health and prosperity.

8. I just paid $1.99 here in CA (central coast) - $2.99 regular with $1 coupon at the shelf

It was a bit under $5 two weeks ago, IIRC...

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Prices fall because larders are full

and SNAP was reduced. Retailers were taking advantage of a situation.

[marble falls]

10. They've been coming down here for several months, especially meats. Prime cuts are still high ...

... but the stuff we normal people eat - country style ribs, most pork cuts, beef roasts, chicken, fish - have been coming down at the town HEB. Prepared foods are still high, but since the pandemic we've been baking and scratch cooking and we've kept our groceries pretty close to what they were pre-pandemic.

We've cut restaurants eating to maybe a 10th of what it was and we're eating better than ever.

[Peacetrain]

16. You know I do not do a lot of prepared foods..

I am sure that has something to do with it

[live love laugh]

11. Lots of eggs rotted in order to make this possible.

At least where I live they did.

Supply and demand still works and prices reflect the drop in demand for eggs.

Very few people were buying the gouged price eggs.

[kacekwl]

12. Bingo

99 cents doz. at some stores by me.

[BlackSkimmer]

18. Yes, and prices rose because of a number of events.

Not the least of which was the devastating avian flu.

I’m glad I have my ladies, who produce breakfast for me every day.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. Eggs are going down, yes, but that has little to do with inflation.

Gas has just gone back up where I am, as it does every other week, it seems.

I just came from the store too, not Aldi, but not a pricey one either. Nothing has gone down where I am.

Lucky you.

[Peacetrain]

19. The eggs had very little to do with inflation.. it was the bird flu..

But we had our last case here in December.. I have been expecting the eggs to drop a lot sooner than this.. but the prices are dropping now..
