I stopped eating eggs a month ago or so. In Canada food is more expensive in general, and eggs are crazy expensive up here. I just eat beef with some vegges in the morning now. I feel it even fills me up better than eggs, so win win.

chicken stays ~2$/lb here in cali, and XL used to be ~11cents per. recently 18c per. might be 50c per after this.

wishing beef were cheaper

[Ken "Skip" Hill]

I use free range organic brown so I already am paying 50 cents per egg.

I'm from the GTA; eggs are $2.99/dozen. 5 something for omega-3, and $6.50 for free range organic brown.

Heckman, that photo is a perfect example of how different countries have different standards when it comes to food. I know a few people on the board are anti-milk, but the milk over here is great.

Exactly....Most people here buy fresh everyday at the local farmers mkt. Milk here is UHT and is not sold refrigerated....

Every time I travel outside the US I am amazed at how everything tastes different.

Last time I was in Italy, I was telling my cousins about how we have seedless watermelon here, since we were eating seeded watermelon. They were horrified and they said that the government would never allow that kind of 'tampering' with food.

Of course, corruption runs rampant in the Italian government. But as long as the food is unsullied...priorities. I love Italy.

My dad lives in NJ and I go visit him once in a while. I'm always amazed that chicken breast and skinless/boneless chicken thighs are $1.99/lb. That's an amazing deal! No way you can find anything under $4/lb in Ontario (or at least I haven't, unless maybe I buy in bulk like grocery stores do, but nowhere to store all that meat haha). The best deal I've been able to find is at Wholesale Club where I can get salt-injected chicken breast for $40/4kg (which is about $4.55/lb). Lets just say I feast like a king when visiting my dad

Not sold refrigerated and has a 6-9 month shelf life? That's just wrong.
