Have you seen the price of eggs????
I bought a pack of 18 yesterday and they were nearly $10.00. And there was a limit of 3.
Eggs today are the toilet paper of a couple years ago. sigh.

They’re the equivalent of $4 USD here, up from about a dollar a year ago.

Religion brings people together: A protestant husband and his catholic wife were not allowed to be buried together. Here are their headstones reaching across the two cemeteries in 1888.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I bought two dozen large eggs (Eggland's Best) last week. They were $4.79 per dozen.

My 18 pack was also Eggland's Best and they were almost $10.00. I've seen posts on a local page where people who have chickens are making bank.
Cripes.
The guy who services my snow throwers was a bit late bringing them back recently and he gave me a dozen eggs from his own chickens for my patience. That was a boon! Interestingly, the eggs were bluish green from half Marans and half Ameraucana chickens.
