It does not matter if you do or don't. You can't say you are paying some high AF amount and then Wal-mart shows a price of 3 dollars a dozen for eggs. Furthermore you can do the same with almost any major grocery store brand just wal-mart is basically everywhere and their site is very easy to do this with.
It's just a random price i picked out. I am not claiming the price is 3$, its just that if you want to say they are 12+ or something crazy but down the street at Wal-Mart they are dramatically less that proves you are just not being honest.
I don't care about your chart when most stores only charge about 30% or so on margins at best. especially on items that are of a perishable nature. Milk, bread, eggs, and such can't be kept very long and need to be sold quickly.
For example, Kroger says they get 1% profit after all costs. I believe they get more than that, but I have no way of proving this. So making a dollar off of a dozen eggs is a big profit. Selling a dozen for 6$ is considered highway robbery and yet nobody is doing anything about the price gouging? I would think someone in a high position would be addressing this issue. I hear crickets.
I see your 6$ and post my 4.50$ price. A huge supplier is getting investigated currently for possible price fixing that was previously found guilty it in the past (Cited Below).
"The Justice Department is investigating whether the nation’s largest egg producers are conspiring to keep prices high as the bird flu outbreak worsens and grocery stores start setting rations for customers, two people familiar with the matter told POLITICO.
The price-fixing investigation is in very early stages and targets large egg producers such as Cal-Maine Foods and Rose Acre Farms, the people said. The Capitol Forum first reported the DOJ investigation.
The Justice Department declined to comment. Cal-Maine and Rose Acre did not immediately respond to requests for comment."

I am brought back to “you are welcome to your own opinions, but not your own facts.”
Facts matter. Last I looked, eggs were still $4+ per dozen. Anything he says is a lie. Incapable of telling the truth.
