A list of things i could buy right now that are cheaper than a dozen eggs

According to The American Farm Bureau Federation on March 4, 2025 the national price for a dozen eggs was $8.15/dozen. Here is a list of things that you could buy instead, and let me say, they are much more fun
1. Rotisserie chicken
2. Thirty two quarters (yes this is worth $8 but you could be 64% done with collecting a quarter from every state and that is way cooler than eggs)
3. 12 little tank tops on SHEIN (does not account for the moral costs which are way higher)
4. My love (currently priced at $5 dm me for my Venmo)
5. Six iTunes songs priced at $1.29
6. Eight rubber ducks from my local rubber duck claw machine game (prize guaranteed every time!)
7. Two months of Hulu with ads when you’re a new member and sign on for $2.99/4 months (but then you have to call two months in and speak to a man named Tod about how you need to cancel and cannot pay for the last two months because your Hulu budget comes entirely from the money you saved when you skipped that carton of eggs at the store one time and how you got Hulu as a last resort to save your marriage since you and your husband don’t spend any time together but he always talked about how he wanted to watch “Only Murders In The Building” and after getting Hulu you finally had a shared interest and during commercials you would make out like when you were teenagers in love, you know- before he got you pregnant and your dreams of going to university and having a career went out the window to raise kids that never say thank you or ask how your day is going- and how your marriage has never been better since you’ve gotten Hulu, but you are spending too much money on little Timmy’s soccer uniforms and Susie’s ballet classes that this $8.15 you saved is all you can spare for luxuries like Hulu and how you wish you had just bought the goddamn carton of eggs because then you would’ve never remembered what it was like when you and your husband got along and you wouldn‘t have to miss a show that you never even paid attention to or cared about
8. Iced latte :)

it’s true it’s true and the other thing is, my sister had a baby and I took it over after she passed away and the baby lost all its legs and arms and now its just a stump but I take care of it with my wife and... and its growing and its fairly happy... and its difficult because I'm working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table but all the love that I see in that little guy's face it makes it worth it in the end. True story

GETTING THE SMALLER THING THAT’S CHEAPER OVERALL BUT MORE EXPENSIVE PER OZ

Scenario: I’m making vegetarian shepherd’s pie and need to buy milk (something I never buy) because the recipe calls for 1 cup of milk. I could either buy a 2L jug for like $3 or a small 300ml container for $2. I ended up going for the big one, but even after trying to use it for things like pancakes, I ended up throwing most of it away! So even though it feels un-savvy, if I had gone for the small one I would’ve spent and wasted less. This sounds hyper-specific, but it’s actually happened quite a lot recently in similar scenarios!

A list ranking The types of lists from best to worst

1. Pro/Con list: Oooo baby i LOVE a pro/con list they are the indecisive person’s wet dream of a list!! No flaws!
2. Packing list: Oh yes let me gather a bunch of items to bring with me on my next adventure! Am I moving? Am I going on vacation? I feel like a video game character going through my inventory. I love packing lists. 3. Grocery list: Exciting bc of food, sad bc it requires food money. Also calls me out just a LITTLE BIT too much like it’s embarrassing to have to go shopping again a week later because I ate all 15 granola bars I bought. 4. To-Do list: Arggggghhhhhh I don’t want to do tasks I want to go frolic in a meadow or shampoo a cow or something. Writing down that I need to do laundry AGAIN and fill out my taxes is just accepting that I must accomplish said tasks. We are meant for more than this. 5. Bucket list: Oh you want me to list everything I want to do before I die? What if I want to do everything? Why would I waste time writing down things I might or might not accomplish when I could just do the things? Not helpful.
