uwteacher, fixed income.  locally (small rural) price has tripled in a year, 600% in 3.  Protein options (pre-pandemic) were already problematic but, for decades eggs were a functional nutritional hedge.  trying to establish a sustainable menu/budget where one item requires an extra $12/mnth is a challenge.Once the 'new normal' is established it is unlikely to include eggs in any way similar to how I used them 5 yr. ago.  Not bit*7ng.  Just reality.  The 12 bucks has to come from somewhere & there's no where (at this point) for it to come from. (don't drink lattes and have to have a cell a phone)
