Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
The call to action — or rather inaction — is asking that American consumers refrain from making any purchases at major retailers on Friday, February 28. The protest comes as people continue to endure rising prices on everything from food and gas to housing and utilities, epitomized by the soaring cost of eggs which in January averaged $4.95 a dozen.
literally can't afford anything in the stores?
let's call it a boycott and pretend it's our choice.
2.5 dozen = $20.39
$20.39÷30= $0.68 per egg.
The discount bulk store brand is still $8.16 per dozen where I am.
Eggs are 12 dollars a dozen near me.
Good thing I know someone with chickens who sells her surplus eggs for 2 bucks a dozen lol
They're using early January numbers instead of late January or early February.
So it doubled in a month. Fun times, yall.
