Egg prices, and impacts you are seeing

I will pay for good coffee. H doesn’t drink it so my pound goes a long way.

Yes to the beef prices.

During the amazon prime days I stocked up on toilet papers, coffee, and other household goods. But I am going to have to pay higher prices at some point.

Brazil is a major exporter of beef and coffee to the US
 while it looks like some goods like OJ were exempt from draconian tariffs, beef and coffee weren’t, so the prices will go even higher.

@HImom’s local eggs are pricey but much better than the mainland ones. That’s what we buy when we are in her neck of the woods.

I noticed this week that the price of eggs has gone back up. I didn’t need them so will wait till I get to Costco later this week. I try to only buy pasture raised.

I love Costco and also only buy pasture raised. The last few times I bought eggs from there, the quality wasn’t as good. Very small eggs and a few were actually bad.

I saw that M&M/Mars was doubling or even tripling the price of candy bars. I can live without beef and even without eggs, but M&Ms? No

I saw a news report three or four days ago saying the price of chocolates was going up about 10%, partly because of tariffs, but mostly because of bad cacao crops recently.

DH got back from some errands and said his usual $19 (one pound) bag of roasted coffee beans was $25 dollars today.

Anyone getting 30% raise lately.

Given the cost of living is rapidly increasing, I think COLAs for retirees should be a lot more than 2 1/2 %.

I’m at the point where I don’t want to even look at prices anymore.

We are back from vacation and ended up shopping at Sam’s (the car that stayed home needed a drive but was low on gas). Normally we only buy a dozen eggs, but Sam’s had cartons of 18 for under $6 - that seemed a good deal.
