Curious.
Usually, say in an upscale restaurant or the like, when there’s no price shown you know they’re saying, This is for those who *sniff* can afford it. All others kindly step aside.
There was one sign: Limit 1, with an explanation for those living news-free that there’s a national shortage. (California’s been particularly hard hit.)
No price.
Well, when you need them you need them, as I put the egg carton in my cart. I couldn’t remember when I’d even seen them there this year.
After we got home I found the receipt because I really wanted to know. The surprise was not what I’d thought it was going to be.
$4.99? I haven’t seen that price in months! I told Richard. The cheap ones at Safeway were $8.99!
I guess that’s why Trader Joe’s didn’t post it: they didn’t want their cashiers to be put on the spot having to deal with people trying to hoard in spite of the posted limit.
Think we’ll ever go back to $2.79?
Although, when you put together the chicken coop, chicken food, egg retrieval, egg boxing, egg transporting, egg stocking, (egg breaking), egg checking-out-ing, any of those prices for something so useful in so many ways while offering protein to boot really is a bargain.
One birthday cake, coming up.
If only someone made a half-angel food cake pan.
