Eggs, 12 packs at tesco's

We shop at Tesco's and noted for a few weeks their messages of shortages of eggs.
We've always got the eggs but have noted that the Tesco own free rang, large egg 12 packs have not been in stock for at least a couple of weeks. However, their 6 packs of same type of eggs are around
6 packs around 180p
12 packs around 300-310p
a 50-60p difference, ie about 10% between two 6 packs and a 12 pack
At Morrison's there seems to be more 12 packs around
I can see the business side of 6 packs making more money but where there are often more than two people in a household, they will buy more than 6 eggs
Watching the news, like petrol/diesel, wholesale prices for food falling but not really in the supermarkets. I wonder why

Supermarkets are being investigated currently for profiteering
The boss of Sainsbury’s was questioned about his £4m bonus. Which took his annual salary up to £4.9m for the year.
Let’s see what the result is but I think we all know deep down.

There is definately something going on and I believe the competition regulator is currently investigating and "The business and trade committee of MPs heard representatives of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons deny any suggestion of food profiteering on their part as shoppers continue to face high prices amid the evolving cost of living crisis." |

Chickens are fighting for a living wage just like us. They voted to strike, and rather than pickets, decided to not lay eggs. The Cock(erall) managers won't negotiate.
Support your chickens's wages! Mainstream media is suppressing this huge story, but the truth is out there!

I know we’re all laughing (totally am) but this is actually true. As sad as it is we know some egg producers locally, one which does big supermarkets and the problem is that the cost to produce has gone up nearly 30% in the last 5 years but the price they get has only increased 4%.
A quick look on Google will show you there’s lots of farmers cancelled contracts and refusing to sell to supermarkets until they get more money. They get more selling locally, a huge percentage point more, so they’re moving in that direction. Unless the supermarkets pay them a fair price  very similar thing is happening with dairy too apparently.

We have our own chickens, we rescue ex battery chickens which would be culled otherwise. Any excess we sell to local people, the demand outweighs our excess.
I know a chicken farm that sells from the boof of their car in the village car park. They make far more money that way. Good on them about time farmers stood up to the greedy supermarkets. |

They need to play relaxing, soothing music to the chickens to make them lay more eggs.
Such as 'How D’ya Like Your Eggs in the Mornin?" by Dean Martin, or 'Egg Man' by the Beastie Boys.
Chilled chickens shit more eggs. Then there'd be no shortage.

Large egg producers on a contract were losing a penny on every egg, so when it came to time to restock they didn’t, as for the forecast egg shortage last April. The supermarkets thought there was going to be a shortage due to bird flue so they bought eggs from as far away as Italy, but then they realised the expiry date meant they will be left with eggs, so they created a shortage to clear their stocks |

Mr "
Supermarkets have been dictating the prices to dairy for a long time. Maybe two years back Tesco tried to strongarm Heinz into reducing their prices. Heinz didn't capitulate and Tesco backed down. |

Cheers to those that kept OT
One said "shop" at another place.
We have actually done that an in our judgement got better eggs at 300p ie box of 12 large free range.
I was not aware the supermarkets were being looking into "profiteering" as one poster said but that is good.
We never used to do Icelands until recently turning 60 u get 10% off most items even special offers I think but Helen is more aware of that. We buy our Birdseye cod fish fingers,branded pizza and a couple of more items and bill comes to 25/30 quid minus 10% a big saving on Tesco's for the same products.
Danish, small loaf was 3 for 3 quid at iceland's today or 150p each and at 129 at Tesco''s we got three, freezing other two |
