I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.

Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.

A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.

Prob 4-5. I mix up breakfasts with oatmeal or cereal.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

12ish if were talking simply fried eggs, if you consider all the baked goods and stuff it probably closer to 24

Tends to be around 4 per week, I'm just one person and eggs are usually a weekend breakfast thing for me.

But.. I also try to budget meals to be close to $1, so I might just stop buying eggs if a dozen get to $6+ (around me they have been in the $5-$8 range for now)

i eat one to two eggs per day, so anywhere from seven to fourteen a week. it's about $1 per egg.

... hong kong $.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

As many as I feel like.

If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Somewhere between 4 to 8, depending on how productive we are in the morning.
