A question about eggs...

My area is pretty cheap for food, but I also get awesome deals fairly often. It's not uncommon to find yogurt on sale for 10 cents (actually picked up a ton of yogurt for a penny a piece one time!), kale for 10 cents, milk for $1, stuffed portabellos for 25 cents, etc - it's one of the perks to shopping late at night 
Aldi is also an amazing place, especially for produce (so long as it's "common" produce). 5 pounds of oranges for $1.48, avocados for 39 cents, grapes for 49 cents a pound fairly often, 3 pounds of apples for 99 cents - apparently Aldi has their own farms, so they get produce direct instead of having to get it from a 3rd party. They also have milk for $1.99 a gallon right now which is AMAZING. Eggs, regular price, are around $1.29 at Aldi.

That's so awesome. Milk is $3+ a gallon, avocados $1 a piece (or more!), and I've seen specialty lettuces for $5+.
Aldi sounds awesome. There aren't any in the DC area, I think. I can see where having your own farms would drastically lower the prices.
Well, the downside is because food and housing is cheap (my last apartment was $300/month), pay is lower, too
And I am very jealous of your food prices! LOL. Food is so much more expensive here!
I was just 7 when I killed my first chicken. I then had to clean it in order for my great aunt to use it for chicken and dumplings.
Honestly, I think people who raise their own animals for food tend to place a higher value on them, therefore they treat them with respect.
*Notice I did t say "all" before someone jumps on me about it.
There's something about raising an animal properly and then seeing it nourish your family in return that makes you honor and respect that animal even more.
Now feel free to disagree.....

I agree with you, Staci, but there's a big difference between killing an animal and eating it or feeding it to your family and friends (which I have never done but honestly think I'd be more comfortable doing that than buying meat from somewhere else), and working at a processing plant and watching animals living really poor quality of life being slaughtered on a mass scale.
Aldi is amazing. It is the reason that I am able to eat so healthy, everything is at least a dollar cheaper than at the grocery store!
At Aldi I can get a pack of blackberries for 99 cents! I pay at LEAST $2 for the same at any other grocery here. 5 kiwi fruits for $1.99, yes please! And this isn't a rural Aldi, either.

Please tell me your Aldi looks like this:
Because if they do... why the heck are there German supermarkets in the US? :rofl1:
And yes, Aldi is awesome.

Most people around here hate Aldi for some reason. Mostly because of the shopping carts. They think it's SO AWFUL to have to pay a quarter for a shopping cart. HELLO PEOPLE! YOU GET THE ****ING QUARTER BACK WHEN YOU RETURN THE CART!
