The price of eggs: At my King Soopers store yesterday, the house brand of [View all]

basic, grade A eggs was 7.49/ dozen. There were organic eggs that were 11/dozen (with people actually buying them!). I refused to pay those prices (and it was nice of KS to finally getting around to putting price tags on the eggs).

Today I went to Natural Grocers. The egg case was completely empty! Disappointed! But there was a staff member stocking another section, so I talked to her. She said a shipment had just come in, and she would go back and see if there were eggs. A few minutes later, she came back with two different cartons of eggs. Organic extra large brown for 3.99, or pasture-raised for 6.49. I got two cartons of the organic. While I was waiting, another woman came up, also looking for eggs. So she left with two cartons of the pasture-raised eggs. Bless Natural Grocers. I also got two free reusable grocery bags, and a free can of tuna.

King Soopers and I are going to have a little chat. One of mine ( and my kitty's) favourite treats was their NY style cheesecake w/whippy for 2.89/slice.Kitty loves the whippy and a bite of the cheesecake. Several weeks ago, they were out for a week. Then the new shipment came in. .at 3.99! Then several days later, remarked at 4.49. All in less than a month. (kitty will now be getting a bit of reddi-whip for his treat because I will not encourage their greed) KS is in contract talks, trying to screw their union employees as well as their customers. I told them during the last contract talks, and I will tell them again. .if those picket lines go up. . .I will not be crossing them. .I will be walking them. Corpirate/corporate assholes.
