    Who cares how much eggs cost? If I put eggs on a pie chart with the rest of my monthly expenses, I would need a microscope to see it. Focus on real problems like price gouging rent.

    You might as well buy the free range eggs for $8/dozen. If that’s too much money, it’s not like the purchase will make you more financially doomed than before.

      Diabetic people probably care about egg prices. Low-carb diets were a bit pricier already. But I’m going to go out supposing you are really asking why every article about inflation for the past two years focuses on eggs. I just assumed it was a manifestation of that meme about United Statesians desperately grasping for any metric other than the metric system to quantify the world around them.
