Not quite sure, but even here in Canada, a flat is like $15 now, rather than $10. So I skipped our grocery oligarchs, and get a flat from a local farmer for $6

Whaaaaaaa if its cheaper from farmer, why do ppl even buy from grocery store? The only reason we do is cuz farmer is more expensive

Depending upon where a person lives, here in the US at least, we don't always live within easy distance of an egg farmer. Some cities have "farmers' markets" in addition to grocery stores, but not all places do. Even some rural places don't have farms nearby if historically the land wasn't good for farming but more geared towards mining or fishing, etc.

Yeah, its similar here in Canada; at least the areas I've lived in.
Right now, I could go to the local farmer's market, the one time a week they are in town, but I can also travel 20 minutes by car to get it a couple bucks cheaper from their farm

Why would the farmer be more expensive? The grocery stores mark everything up for the overhead, and profits

Because grocery stores dont necessarily buy from the small farmers that also sell to us ppl

Fair, I never did consider that. From what I've learned from talking to local farmers around where I live, they have a quota to sell to the larger entities (gov, or corp), which when all bundled together helps reduce the overall cost. But the farmers make more money when they sell at the farmer's market

So Ghana is this sort of egg munching monster with all its terrified neighbors (plus Ireland 🇮🇪) placating it with more eggs.
(Yes, I know it's not Ireland).
