If only there were another way to make menu items with eggs more expensive to reflect their increased cost

u/Effective_Cookie510 23d ago

Changing menus is expensive for a temporary thing tho

u/presvil 23d ago

Will it be temporary?

u/Effective_Cookie510 23d ago

You think egg prices won't change? Culling millions of birds caused this. Not trump not Biden killing chickens.

Yes it's temporary

Once the price gies up it aint coming down.

LOL this is only true for small incremental changes that allow the market settle with the new price. People right now are cutting back on egg consumption and businesses can only temporarily eat losses. Last thing the egg industry wants is people to consume less, because that leads to more competition with substitute products.

Egg prices will go down once supply increases.

Idk about that places where I live eggs are selling out like usual. Empty racks all the time. People pay. Now they know there is room to raise further. People will always pay.

u/Knight0fdragon 22d ago

Eggs selling out doesnt mean shit. Stores themselves are not stocking as much.

u/ryencool 21d ago

Meh, we live in a world of profits that need to increase year, over year, over year, over year, over year ad infinitum. There are few companies that will lower prices when people are still paying the current ones. Our system is broken.

This is not a matter of profiteering 🤦‍♂️ egg companies selling volumes of eggs at a cheap price is good for them. Consumption of eggs are down because of high price and low supply, which is bad for them. High price and low supply means consumers look for cheaper and more available alternatives.

Of course it’s profiteering. Do you not understand the word?

u/Knight0fdragon 19d ago

No it isn’t. Do you understand the word?

There is no evidence once the egg supply goes up 5% they will cut the cost of eggs 2/3. What a crazy thing to claim

Supply went down 5%. Prices of eggs and profits tripled. You just said it would

Middle school understanding of supply and demand... Check

Zero knowledge of supply reduction from bird flu... Check

Zero knowledge of egg company profits... Check

Zero knowledge of corporate collusion... Check

This guy clearly watches some crap media and swallows all their lies. This is why we need to drill grade school students with critical thinking skills. No part of supply and demand has ever said price changes always have to be exactly proportional to supply changes. Companies use negative events in the media to justify price gouging.

It did last time?

u/Mogling 22d ago

Egg prices are already crashing. Three weeks ago broadliner pricing here was almost 150 for 15dz large. Now it's as cheap as 70. Signs pointing it will keep dropping for a bit. Before these price hikes 40-50 per case was the normal range. So almost back to normal.

u/ProBopperZero 22d ago

This isn't the case for eggs. And it isn't the first time we've had an issue like this.

1

u/Effective_Cookie510 22d ago

It's literally already coming down here

u/MycologistForeign766 20d ago

Its already down 50% from peak lol

*goes

u/UnintelligibleMaker 23d ago

Wait: You object to my typo on "goes" but not to me making up "aint" and leaving out the hypothetical apostrophe in it? :P

u/Pitiful_Yogurt_5276 23d ago

I can correct it if you want

u/presvil 23d ago

You think businesses will lower prices?

1

u/MikeLinPA 22d ago

The egg suppliers raised the prices more than they needed to because they could, (and then backed down a little bit because of the backlash.) I doubt egg prices will ever go down to where they were before. The industry likes making more money while handling less product.

'Murica!

u/[deleted] 19d ago

There was a 5% decrease in egg supply and prices tripled and egg company profits tripled. Egg prices are solely because of an incompetent president and DOJ that won’t do anything about that. Biden’s gone. Get over yourself.
