With the tariff threats and bird flu impacting American mega bird farms and driving prices up for them, I’m curious. Has Schadenfreude and more affordable eggs in Canada increased our typical egg consumption? Anyone know where such stats would be found?
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have at least one egg each day. As a family of four, we will typically go through three dozen eggs each week.
We eat more eggs than a few years ago because they’re proportionately cheaper sources of protein as beef and chicken have gone up.
I’ve been making eggs Benny because eggs are so cheap I might as well use a few of them on just the sauce to accompany my eggs.
i know my familys egg consumption is up, but thats mainly because its a easy and healthy breakfast for baby
Perhaps American tourists are buying Canadian eggs and smuggling them back home. Wouldn’t be worth the trip across just for that, but if you’re already there…
I was legit talking to someone about selling eggs to Americans.
A dozen here is still like $3 CAD for large eggs. More for the fancy stuff.
Over there they are selling them as singles because they are so damn expensive now. $10 USD for a dozen.
With exchange at around 30%
That’s like 400+% ROI.
My ancestors were fishermen (aka: rum runners) maybe it’s time to get back in the family biz but with illicit farm eggs.
