Yeah, but those are Jewish eggs. Probably full of nanobots that can be used for targeting assists for the space lasers.

[Axtremus]

Say, would Israel consider being the 51st of the United States?
Be sure to bring your eggs with you!

No eggs at Costco today

Same in the US. Talked to a friend in IL and they told me the same thing. Their Costco was out of eggs.

My Costco had eggs a week ago. But I'm so egg-rich from HEB, I didn't buy any. I could pretty much bathe in eggs if I wanted to. Feel sorry for those who can't. But let's take some personal responsibility, please. Your own life choices led you to not having eggs.

[LuFins Dad]

Bought a dozen last evening. Plenty in stock, but the price was 60¢ higher than 2 weeks ago.

I’d rather learn to code.

I’d have them if I lived where I could. The eggs are better and the meat of a pasture raised bird is a lot better.

[Jolly]

Yeah, but slaughtering and cleaning chickens is a nasty job. But...It's easier if you don't want the skin. Instead of scalding and plucking, you just skin and gut.

[Mik]

Take em to a processor.

[Jolly]

How do you know you're getting your chickens back?

What is the magical egg replacement?

I’m talking about a “flax egg.” This is an egg substitute that vegans and people with egg allergies have used for a long time. You mix flaxseed with water to get an “eggy” texture, then use it as you would an egg in any baking recipe.

Flaxseed is a handy egg substitute because it’s shelf-stable and extremely cheap. You can buy a bag of ground flaxseed at pretty much any grocery store. It will probably be in the baking aisle. I buy mine at Aldi, where it retails for $3.85 a bag. Each bag of Aldi’s flaxseed contains 60 tablespoons, which is equivalent to 60 eggs. Therefore, each flax egg costs about six cents. It’s amazingly budget-friendly!

and

For each egg you want to replace, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about five minutes. If you’re making a recipe that calls for two eggs, then you would use 2 tablespoons of flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water. (Don’t replace more than two eggs with flax in a recipe, though.)

I think you can also use yoghurt as a substitute.

Hard boiled yogurt???

Or cheese, as it's better known.

[jon-nyc]

Two stores, no eggs.

I hate shortages. Shortages are always and everywhere a policy choice and an unnecessary one at that.

Give me $18 eggs if you need to, but have them on the goddam shelf when I come.

[Horace]

I guess the stores don't want to be accused of price gouging.
