Reply to comment by TheThirdThigh in Costco - Prices are 20% high. Organic Milk during shortage/COVID was raised to $9.99 per gallon and today it was 11.99 per gallon by MogamboKushhua468

Most WSB posters are low/middle class who probably don’t have Costco memberships. I just got the fucking tastiest organic eggs from Costco last week that were blue with a deep orange yolk. Delicious. That, paired with their organic milk is a fantastic breakfast. I’m sure it cost more than McDonald’s but then again what the fuck do I know about inflation I just buy shit I want/need. (Ps their rewards card if fucking awesome, I got $1100 back last year )

I bought organic milk $6 gallon and organic eggs $4.25 a dozen. Neither came from Costco. I don’t know what the current organic egg price is. It’s probably higher then $4.25 at my local Costco.

Don’t know I shop around so I don’t overpay in the first place.

So then you probably agree with me there is a huge exaggeration of this “egg crisis “ where on average eggs are probably up $0.50-$1 max and it’s really not a big deal…. Only it’s a huge deal to the bottom 1-5% of the population and of course, as all things government, let us all overreact to a minority (in number of people) issue
