They are 3.99€ for 30 eggs at my supermarket. Those are the cheapest tho. I've paid double that at the farmers market. I think € and $ are close enough to be comparable. Aren't they?
Yes the US dollar was finally worth more than the euro a week ago. And I was like ooh ooh time to go to Europe. But then I realized Europe is also three times more expensive then the US so that parity wouldn't make a darn bit of difference.
Gas, diesel, electricity, heating fuel, natural gas, wood pellets and other energy fuels have gone up in price dramatically.
Food is also on the rise but not nearly as much as the energies. Gas stations begin to have less and less fuel trucks coming to fill them.
I would say it's not the best time to visit Europe or any far away destination. Cosy up your place and prepare for the worst, even if the worst don't come like you thought it would come.
I live in a camper van so eventually I won't be able to afford gas I'm sure at some point and I'll just have to just sit where I am. Maybe I'll work on strengthening up my back and get familiar with the pickaxe and shovel so I can work on a shovel team somewhere. Better than being a comfort person I reckon. Auntieclutch might have something to say about this though.
