So I was at the local walmart in my area and mind you I keep record of the prices of items in order to find the best deals and I noticed that eggs are up to 4.23 an 18 pack! That is ridiculous, I have never seen eggs that price before! So I did a little research, according to cbs news they have raised prices due to new laws that regulate the treatment of chickens, and avian influenza. So there you have it, our prices will continue to go up until the bird flu has finished. So I would suggest you break out the flour or the cans of biscuits, a half a pound of sausage and make some biscuits and gravy or oatmeal to cut down on egg prices. We have started making our own biscuits and gravy and for us 10 biscuits, 3 cups of gravy, and a half a pound of sausage feeds us for around 2-3 meals, maybe 4 if we can stretch it out. Plus a pound of sausage is around $ 2.19 here, we have all the ingredients to make biscuits on hand (flour, shortening, baking powder, salt, and milk), and gravy is easy (packets are around 50 cents or you can make your own) so right around $3.50 after taxes for close to 8 meals of biscuits and gravy. We usually have leftover biscuits we use for breakfast sandwiches or buttered and eat like that.
