Conservatives take any opportunity to what they think is a time to get back at liberals... Apparently superbowl is not an exception for them.

How much are normal, large eggs, not organic jumbos.

Those are large, not extra large, not jumbo.



And I've never seen eggs labelled "normal". Only Medium, Large, Extra Large, Jumbo, White, Brown, Organic, Cage Free IIRC.

I normally buy the white Jumbos, but lately it's been white Large.

I didn't see dozen of white larges, but hmm 14.49 for 18 would make about $9.75 for a dozen.

 

[WilliamM2]

That was 12 eggs!

I'll post the image if you want.. it says DOZEN.

Here you go.. it's not me lying and making it up:

And I'm at Howard Beach, Queens, New York 11414!

A very Trumpy neighborhood!

And it says organic, it's BS. I just checked a few stores in the area. $5.49, even $4.99 at the bottom of the page. I don't shop at convenience stores.

Edit: And you changed the pic to different eggs! But I can still read ORG on the shelf tag. Nice try, but it still shows the original in my quote above. MAGA propagandist...

That's not a convenience store. It's the Stop & Shop on Crossbay Blvd.

156-01 Cross Bay Blvd.

You can have someone go look at prices if you don't trust me.

BTW the non organic LARGE are here.. $14.49 for 18.. so $9.75 for a dozen but they didn't have a box of 12.

Just stop. It says ORG right on the tag. Don't show the whole carton, nice try, here's the original you posted.

The eggs pictured and the tag are not congruent.

The eggs have a Stop & Shop symbol on them, but the tag is for Pete and Gerry's organic large eggs. Of course the fancy organic brand of eggs is more expensive (especially at Stop&Shop which is known to mark up that kind of stuff).

 

[DZero]

I need to be real. Those things are the real deal? Are trully organic? Or just a marketing move?

For the most part, "organic" is largely a marketing term and doesn't really say much about the quality of the food.

Where does it say organic on the 18 white NON organic for 14.49?


That is last Friday's pricing when I was there..

The one that's confusing you is from over 3 weeks ago and they didn't have those organic cage free ones anymore last time.

Fucking hell..

Why would Stop & Shop do that.. trying to mark up 18 generic eggs with an 18 organic eggs price??

It is possible the shelf below has the organic eggs.

No if I remember correctly they had Eggland's Best eggs on the shelf below. I don't buy those ones!

 

[DZero]

Now imagine Russian quality eggs being sold as gold bars

That's the picture you linked. It very clearly says jumbo, and organic.

In the US, you generally only see large and XL/jumbo (or sometimes those are separate). Large is what most Americans know of as an egg.

XL/jumbos are stupid because they break recipes and often come with double yolk, which double-plus breaks recipes.

 

[Brainonska511]

It is possible the shelf below has the organic eggs.

Or they just had too much of the normal stock, and the organic one sold out, and no one moved the label. It's quite common, and that's why you should always glance at the label and UPC code to verify you're picking up the item at the price you think you're getting it at.

I doubt those eggs ring up that price. Just in the wrong spot.

OR, if I was conspiracy minded I could claim the photographer moved the store brand there to mislead people. This being the internet that seems to be the norm lately rather than a conspiracy theory.

But I doubt that.

It's extremely common in a grocery store to just not move a tag. People forget, or there is too much of a different stock and it overflows into the next area. I saw this a lot when I worked at one in HS, and I still occasionally see it today. It's also because the people that handle signage are often different than the ones doing stocking.

It's not rocket science or a conspiracy.

Just look at the tag and look at the product when you pick it up. The tags are not hard to decipher.

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

It depends on the product, some products have stricter guidelines on what organic means than others.

It IS mostly a marketing term, but in some cases it can either be of higher quality (due to non-homogenic feed, or limited exposure to shit that gets absorbed by the vegetable/fruit). Unfortunately there's no real way to know.

Most of the little verbiage on the product packaging (cage free, free roam, grass-fed, vegetarian fed, blah blah) is marketing.

Beware the ones that are illogical, like vegetarian-fed chicken. Chickens are not vegetarians. They are dinosaurs. Fertilizer-free <product>, dirt is a fertilizer. Fertilizer is a mixture of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. All of that is needed for plants to grow, all of it exists in dirt.

I know. That's why I said I doubt it since (correct me if I'm wrong) I believe it was a member here took the pic.

But with the current state of the internet, if the source of the pic was social media I would believe it highly likely someone is trying to BS other people.

My favorite is "no chemicals" or "chmeical free." I'm like, Oh, they're selling an empty container in a complete vacuum state?

I took those 2 pics myself.

The brown jumbo eggs 3 weeks ago, and the white 18 pack this last friday.

And no I didn't move the eggs before I get accused of framing the shopping cart mafia of doing that!

I wish. You know how valuable a box of true vacuum would be? Hell, even if a homogenous bag of <insert element> would be remarkably expensive to the right buyer.

Given the complete brain rot people have had, I might let some stuff slide on social media if it's in the service of making President Donald Musk look bad. Most people are tuned out, so anything to bring awareness to the masses of the insanity is probably net good.

Its just funny to see someone dig in here when they're told they are wrong. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. Just own it, learn from it, and move on.

On a related note, people that would willingly and regularly pay for already inflated egg prices (by buying the fancy organic ones) are clearly not having food budgeting issues.

I always liked the label for grapes/wine. Organic grapes can use as much toxic copper sulfate for fungus control as needed. It's just an utterly arbitrary list of dos and don'ts that marketers and grifters have run away with.
