Eggs are now expensive. The last one I bought was about $10 for a dozen and half. It used to be $3 before the Russian Ukraine war.
Cost of eggs have fallen back down since then and continue to fall. Check your local Walmart. undecided

Crops which are not native to a particular country are usually expensive.. they import them. Same way a single plate of strawberry cost alot here when it cost just a few cents over there.
That doesn't apply at all as far as rice in the U.S. A 25lb bag still costs less than $20 even with inflation. undecided

You didn’t have to lie,
Why didn’t you just be up front and show the rest of the food and tell about the delivery charge. Better yet, why didn’t you show the receipt?
So you paid that amount for an entree, rice, and possibly a delivery charge. Okay.

Don’t mind the freaking liar, he even said he got that at Wholefoods… he must have paid that for more than rice.

Why insult someone in that manner. Don't you have decency in your sleeves.. Gosh!

Why? You didn’t see what I was replying to?
Why do some of you men scold women who are defending themselves but not the psychopaths that harass them? I’ve never seen men who verbally abuse women anywhere as the so called men on this board do. In this thread alone, some male monikers walked in and immediately started insulting me without even knowing what this thread is about.
So did you miss the manner in which he insulted me in and has been insulting me in every day for two years on this board for all to see? A prostitute, talking about my vagina, praying to God that I get raped (he has literally said this), a wh%re, a b#tch, wishing cancer and death on me, telling me that he will rape and murder me? I guess you want me to be the bigger person? Would you expect your female family members to take that and stay quiet? If you do then you’ll be disappointed. Where I’m from, real men don’t talk to women, especially ones they don’t know from Adam, in that manner.
I’ve gone for months without answering him but I had time tonight. I’m not going to apologize either.
If seeing me occasionally defending myself bothers you, please skip past my posts.

You can relax. Food is very inexpensive here—-unless you want eggs. embarassed

Eggs? I don't know where you reside.. But crate of egg is the one of the cheapest commodity one can afford. Even organic crate of eggs (10 pcs) shouldn't be more than 6.5$.

Hello there. I am not God to know that you have faced such calumny from sadists. My own is not to respond to people in like manner, much more on a faceless forum.. You live in America right? As a person of color that you are, I'm sure you will not respond to abuse on the street by a random person in Texas or any open carry state if you value your life.. The best you should do is to ignore and call the cops....

That's what you can do here.. Ignore useless comments and report the moniker to the moderators... Take care!

You’re wrong about me. I am a woman who open carries as a means of protecting myself if I’m in danger. But really, men here don’t talk to me like that, not even the ones on the street so I’m only going to take so much abuse online. You guys are always admonishing women, not the mentally unwell, violent men. Reporting does nothing. I’m going to respond to him when I see fit. Goodnight.

Yea. That’s the way it goes. They judge you for not being the bigger person. Ignore. Be mature. Be respectful. Bla bla bla.

Not one word for the aggressors. Utter silence. Always.

Been on NL over a decade now and it’s the same story.
I tell them they are worse than the aggressors because at least those ones are direct with their hate.

To see that and ignore it and then pile on the person who’s defending themselves is wild to me. I’ll never understand it

All right. Do what fits you well... Go read about the power of silence. It will help you indeed. And again, it doesn't matter whether you are an open carrier or not.

I am against any form of abuse to any gender. But if you are constantly abused, then perhaps it originated from your youthful exuberance, garnered from the massive right of the nationality you bear, which is depicted by the use of your moniker. And who knows, you might have shamed others here with your residence of which you and I are privileged to have. If you are a black American, you should know better.

And to attackers, please stop trolling this damsel.

That is usually the wrong thing to do when food prices go up because they eventually fall back down. Only buy what you need and before you know it, it will all fall back down again. undecided

Gordon? I don't know this store. Is it only online?

Please post brown eggs, I don't eat the white ones, they taste like plastic. This is still cheap compared to what I see in the stores. The difference between white and brown is usually $1 or so. 5 dozes eggs for $11 is a good deal $2.20 a dozen.

I call BS. Name the restaurant that you bought only white rice for $25. Should be easy enough to check the menu if it is true.

1. It is a regular store and I also think you can place orders online. undecided

2. You can Google it yourself. All eggs taste the same to me, and they do have same nutritional value so I never fixate on such things as the color of shell. undecided
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical unless the feed has been enhanced for speciality eggs such as Omega-3.
https://www.eggs.ca/yourquestions/question/21/are-white-and-brown-eggs-different
So you may be wondering why brown eggs cost more than white eggs even though they both have the same nutritional value. Well, as it turns out, all you are paying for is the cost of feed and energy that is required to produce the brown eggs.
Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen, making it's a popular choice for farmers. Hens who produce colored eggshells, however, tend to be larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive. https://www.rd.com/article/brown-eggs-expensive-white-eggs

I couldn't find brown eggs in 60 counts on walmart site. And the Gordon store is not in southeast. Brown eggs tastes better than white, the yolks are richer, even the shells are also harder.

Exact response I had in my head lol. $25 for just an entree is far from the truth. I got a sizable plate of Jollof rice and Chicken for $24 in San Francisco which is a more expensive city.
