A firsthand lesson in bird flu price squeezes

FEBRUARY 12, 2025

Hey y’all,

I was at the grocery store on Sunday buying groceries for a pair of dishes that I was planning to meal prep this week.

I’m trying to eat healthier, so I found this Instagram influencer (I know, I rolled my eyes, too) who created a cookbook of super-healthy, high-protein replacement meals that you can prep in advance and keep in the freezer for months.

I’ve made several of them and always enjoyed them, and my stockpile was running low.

So I had to get the ingredients to make two new ones: chicken parm pasta and tikka masala burritos! 😋

While I was at the store, buying the various yogurts and cottage cheeses and things that I’d need to make “healthier” versions of these meals, I thought to myself, “hey, you're low on eggs. Better get those, too.”

So I walked a few feet to my right and then immediately fell to the floor.

The price of eggs at my local Publix had surpassed EIGHT dollars!

Now, of course, I’ve heard all the stories about bird flu and fights in grocery stores and prices rising… but I couldn’t believe the damage until I’d seen it with my own eyes.

And this isn’t a Florida anomaly. The price of eggs has surged to an all-time high nationwide, reaching almost $5 according to the latest figures.

I guess my budding hard boiled egg addiction is going to have to hit the brakes!

Now, all jokes aside, I’m fortunate to be able to afford as many eggs as I need, but even for me, at $8 a dozen, I did a double-take and really thought about passing this time.

As someone who grew up in a family where things were often pretty tight, I can only imagine the challenges they are facing right now.

That moment in the grocery store reminded me: the price of eggs really matters.

In politics and in trading, we often talk about inflation and jobs numbers and the price of eggs and other staples kind of agnostically.

They’re just a number that affects other numbers that we care more about, like the QQQ or SPY.

But the truth is those numbers have a huge impact on the day-to-day lives of Americans and folks from around the world!

And the government seems more content to try and use the bad numbers to cudgel the other team than make any attempt to fix them.

That means it becomes all the more important for everyone to know how to take their financial fortunes into their own hands.

Of course, there’s no guarantee of success in trading. But knowing how to generate cash in the stock market can be an absolute game-changer for folks just to help take the sting of these higher prices off.

Whether it’s Jack’s new Bitcoin Cash Blueprint or Nate’s Automated Options or any of our other fantastic income strategies, there are plenty of ways to make a little extra spending money and cover the price of eggs and then some.

You just need to look around and find the one that fits you best.

We’re here to help.

And if you want to get started today, Nate broke down his trade setup that’ll target $1,250 this week for anyone with $2,500 to invest — but if you want to start way smaller (like I did with this strategy), you can. Check it out here

To your prosperity,
