you are thinking in terms of people getting the best for their money instead of people being starved and trying to make a dollar last.
Iām not, actually. When I say āin bulkā I donāt mean a 20kg sack. 500g of rice or dry legumes goes a long way for a low price.
When we were starving we mostly got whatever was on sale or short-dated, so we ate different things all the time out of necessity, but dry goods were always reliable, which is why I asked about them.
Dry goods are still reliable, but the issue at hand is that a dozen eggs are now 8-9 dollars, and that rise was pretty fast.
People relying on eggs for survival and not part as a diversified diet need to switch to other sources right now which they might not have available. You wonāt survive on rice only. Beans should definitely be added to your diet for their health benefits and as a way to be less insecure with food. However, eggs were also playing that part and now itās not reliable anymore.
In a vacuum, it isnāt that big of a deal, but in reality, already strained people are even more strained right now and the egg prices exploding is just another kick in the guts.
