Was Walmart higher? Yes, which is one reason why we go to Lidl. Aldi? We do not go there. But that’s a bigger chain and their prices are usually close to Lidl. > > Those who have to watch every dollar will remember the lowest price. > > This of course is not the administration’s fault. I can’t remember ever seeing eggs for 75 cents. Were they small or medium? It’s possible that they just don’t sell the smaller sizes in my region, plus additional regulations on how the eggs are produced, that accounts for it. Seessel actually provides a link about the eggs issue, where you read that much of the price hike was due to covid-related issues, plus an avian flu outbreak which I’d totally forgotten about. Of course these things are hardly the fault of any administration, but it would have been far more responsible if the author had mentioned this in his own article. Anyone reading the article in hard copy wouldn’t have access to the link. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-the-new-york-times-pro-trump/1003509)._
