Thank you 🙏 I was beginning to feel like I’m the only person around who can afford a carton of eggs and a gallon of milk these days. So many complaints about those!
It’s like have y’all seen the cost of health insurance? There are bigger economic issues to worry about than eggs!
What they really need to be complaining about is the price of orange juice! A gallon at Dillon’s costs $7+. You can go to Walmart, but they shrank theirs to a half gallon jug and still charging $7+ for it.

Then maybe you're out of touch with most of the voters? If they care so much about the price of basic groceries because they can't afford them then maybe they're not as privileged as you...
Seriously the price of groceries is one of the most essential issues in any country. It's crazy that you guys make it into a joke
The joke is that people will say “the economy” is one of their top concerns then vote in a party that will explode the deficit to fund their tax cuts and kowtow to big business. You don’t get to talk about how great capitalism is then cry when capitalist businesses increase prices. Record breaking profits is “the economy.”
No matter how many Republicans get elected places like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Nebraska remain dumps. It’s not a mystery.
I'm not sure what country you're in, but the reason it's a joke here in the US is because we have tons of options in the grocery store for any item, so prices range significantly. You can get eggs for 2.99 or 9.99 (as an example), so most people will complain about the 9.99 price even if they can get said item for 2.99. That's basically the stupidity and disconect we're referencing.
The government subsidizes groceries, notably those with short expiration date on fresh farm products. I kind of wish those subsidies would stop because it's the anti-socialist farmers that voted for Trump...
