Eggs, store brand large white, $7.99 a dozen.

That seems a lot. The large free range eggs I just bought would work out at $4.60 a dozen. Is $7.99 more than you would normally pay? I understand that bird flu is causing shortages in the US.

Yeah, that's high. We have widespread shortages -- not bad locally, but had to get non-store-brand last time.

Here in Kentucky I paid $3.99 for the store brand dozen, the only brand that was there. Also no other sizes than large. (When my friend has eggs to spare I buy from her, but it's winter and also not long ago a possum got several hens, so she doesn't.)
