$13 for a dozen at wal mart here in Columbus Ohio. Over a dollar per egg lol.

Holy shit my expensive vegan alternative to eggs costs half that for 20 oz ( roughly equiv to 12 eggs I think?) where I live. Hope you do well.

Some fools will reflexively downvote any time they see the word “vegan,” yet I wouldn’t be surprised if knowledge of egg alternatives ends up making a difference in times like these.
With agricultural workers being deported and tariffs increasing the price of food sourced from abroad, Americans are going to have to get creative and flexible with their food habits. We don’t know yet how our grocery store shelves will end up looking, but if someone needs a substitute for an ingredient in a recipe, chances are a group of people already avoids that ingredient has the knowledge of how to work around it. They may be vegan, they may have food allergies, they may have religious restrictions, or they may simply dislike a particular ingredient. Regardless of their reasons, the point is they’ve already experimented with recipes to figure out what works, which means the rest of us don’t have to trial & error everything ourselves.

This is how we get to things in v for vendetta where it’s like “I haven’t had real butter in a decade” because it’s so expensive and only the oligarchs can afford it

Yeah, I love how easy it is to google recipes. Ten years ago this stuff was much harder. For completeness sake I mostly use recipes where one can exchange eggs for flax seeds, shredded in my mixer. The costly factory made egg replacement is better for e.g. quiche.
