The price of eggs

Coming here soon since we now have Putin's stooges. Wah, Krogers increased the price of eggs past inflation prices. So let's destroy our country and democracy.

gripe about literally any price increases. I've done my part in not contributing to the increases in prices, but I don't think my or others not buying eggs is going to matter, as businesses are increasing prices simply because they can and do. W/o any rationale or reason, other than simple price gouging.

I know they have been going up and down and over $4 at some stores, but my experience can't be unique that eggs have been reasonable most of time recently except for some past spikes and today I saw them again about $2.50 qt Harris Teeter.

Added to say before I saw them at Walmart and HT, eggs were also just over $2 at Aldi this summer and fall.
