Seems like common sense. I’ve been a member for years. We generally load up on meats there. Steaks, ground beef, pork and chicken. Can’t remember buying eggs there. Not sure if they’re less there than the local chains.

Charlie Munger loved Costco’s business model

UPDATE: Egg prices have now declined 62% since President Trump's inauguration day.

They were $6.55. They are now $2.52 per dozen.

MASSIVE WIN.

The media ignored this story once it got good for Trump.

Poor Gristle. His Mama never taught him how to shop around...

I don't think you know where I buy my eggs, Lusty

But we do know you like to over-pay for them, Gristle.

Wise up.

With the money you could be saving on eggs if you shopped around, you could afford to stop for a beer on the way home!

Lol, couple issues with that but neither are important.

Sadly, Hickman lost 6 million chickens to bird flu over the past 2 weeks. That's 95% of their flock.

A West Valley farm and one of the largest egg producers in the U.S. confirmed on Friday that it has lost nearly its entire chicken population in Arizona due to bird flu and will be forced to reduce staff.

“I’m here today to tell you that we’ve lost 95% of the chickens we have in the state,” said Glenn Hickman, the Hickman’s Family Farms’ president and CEO, explaining that staff tried to contain the situation to one farm.

He says hens at one of the farms began showing symptoms two weeks ago. Swabs were sent to the University of Arizona for analysis, and bird flu was detected.

“We shut down all traffic between farms and all personnel; everything we possibly could do to isolate that farm, and it didn’t work,” Hickman explained. “We’ve been slowly losing the other three farms plus our replacement pullet flock over the past two weeks.”

About six million birds were lost. Hickman says it’s the first time in 81 years that the company has been unable to fulfill 100% of customer demands and is working to find alternative suppliers to keep Arizona stores and restaurants stocked.

Hickman also announced a reduction in force. The egg producer has approximately 850 employees, including contract workers and state inmates.

“They all have families and unfortunately, they’re going to be impacted by our inability to keep everybody employed as we rebuild our farm,” Hickman said.

It’s unclear how many employees will be affected. Hickman says it will take nearly two years to completely repopulate the farms.

Is this Trumps fault Mr Gristle?

With measures in place to eliminate the virus, Hickman says the family’s next priority is prevention.

“If our pullets had been vaccinated when we started lobbying the federal government in January, our pullets would have been saved right now. So we would have been able to restock much more quickly,” he said. “We need to access the vaccine that the federal government has already approved. We need to be able to start giving it to our flocks and the quicker that we can start vaccinating our nation’s poultry flock, the quicker that we can get back to normalized operations.”

Mebbe... either way his admin needs to have a more comprehensive plan to tackle Avian flu. That's another 6 million birds who aren't laying and piles of lost production.

Hickman was the #1 supplier for large chunks of the SE

Thank you President Trump for my delicious and well priced omelette today.

I appreciate you lowering egg prices for all Americans. I’ll go with scrambled eggs tomorrow.

Since Brooke rolled out her plan on Feb. 25, the (wholesale) price of eggs has plummeted by a whopping 69% - from $8.11 to $2.52 per dozen.

Here it is again, folks - the link for the national average price of eggs as calculated by the smart people over at Trading Economics. Check it out for yourself.

Thank you, Brooke! Thank you, Donnie!
