Here in SoCal the cost of eggs has really sky-rocketed. The 99 cents
stores, around the San Gabriel Valley, no longer have them in stock;
TJ's now charges $1.49/dozen . Their brand has gone from $.99/dozen to
the $1.49 price point; Fresh & Easy is the same. The hispanic markets
around here haven't put eggs in as loss leaders since December.
Wonder what the prices will be as it gets closer to Passover & Easter?

Harriet & critters (Faddy Tabby Catty & Ms Tabby Ann, who is sorta
feral and whom I haven't seen in several days, but then she has her
own box & her partially hidden food dish is always empty!)
