I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Tends to be around 4 per week, I'm just one person and eggs are usually a weekend breakfast thing for me.

But.. I also try to budget meals to be close to $1, so I might just stop buying eggs if a dozen get to $6+ (around me they have been in the $5-$8 range for now)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Prob 4-5. I mix up breakfasts with oatmeal or cereal.

When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.

Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?

Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.

Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.

Zero now that the price has gone up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How much had the price changed where you are?

Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Zero because I don’t have chickens and fuck animal abuse.

If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.

i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.

... hong kong $.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

As many as I feel like.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I just don't really like the taste, so about 1 per week in my fried rice.
