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.

About 12 every 2 days on my keto diet. I buy 18packs for like $5

[-] jet@hackertalks.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

What's your favorite way to prepare the eggs?

Yeah. We made a lot of egg bites when we were low carbing. Probably need to go back to that.

Probably like 2 dozen a week. I like eggs lol.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.

None, I've never particularly liked them. I know some people love them, but to me they don't smell great, kinda sulfurous farts and they have an odd smushy consistency when cooked.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

I can eat up to a dozen boiled eggs a day if I'm particularly craving them. They're my fave source of protein!

Family of four. We probably go through 10 to-12 eggs a day much of the time. Scrambled eggs, French toast, homemade bread, cookies, pancakes, frittatas, huevos rancheros tacos... It adds up. I recently started buying the 18-egg packs because it's more cost-effective.

5-6, and eggs aren’t expensive yet. I guess wherever we get eggs from don’t have avian flu yet …. Although it’s here in the wild

I have a bowl of cereal (yogurt and fruit) during the week, but usually make something with eggs on the weekend.

[-] Shape4985@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Normally around 6. Ill make scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for breakfast twice a week

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is me. I make a default breakfast a few times a week but only 2 eggs per meal, along with sautéed greens with cherry tomatoes, a small tortilla wedge, blueberries and some sausage.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

So it's costing you $1-2 more per week?

Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have like four every six months.

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

I haven’t had eggs since they were $2/dozen, so zero in like 8+ months, but when I have eggs (starting chickens and quail) I’ll be eating probably 2-4/day. When they were cheap I was averaging 3/day, including baked goods and such.

I really don’t eat much meat (can’t afford that either, but my digestive system doesn’t do well with a lot of meat anyway), and my mushroom cultures are taking foooooooorrrrrreeeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrr, so.. need protein somewhere.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mostly use them for baking. I will probably just switch to substitutes going forward. I can live without eggs.

Corporate farming better get its shit together or consumers are going to learn to live without.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

How many do you use in a week? I can't think of enough baking for it to make a huge difference in my life. Going from $2 to $4 per dozen costs me an extra dollar per week.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Eggs are not that expensive in Sweden, but in all honesty I don't really eat that many eggs in a week. Maybe if we use it as an ingredient, or maybe I'm having a boiled egg as a healthy snack, but I think most weeks it would be 0.

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Me, 10-18. 2 per work day for egg Sammy. Then weekends depend on omelets and other meals depending on recipe. 10 minimum tho. Brother has 1 more chicken than his family eats eggs so if anything I buy less eggs than most households per month.

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Varies a lot. Sometimes weeks can go by without me eating a single egg. But when I start, I go hard. It's not unheard of that I go through an entire carton as a late night snack with boiled eggs.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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