Eggs are excessive, but ALL grocery prices should be investigated. My favorite cookies went up $2—for 15 cookies. Birdseed went up $3 a bag. The bread I used to buy went up $2.5. I finally brought my bread machine up from the basement & now make wonderful bread. It only took a few flops to get the recipe down right.
