An Eggstrodinary Problem
A once affordable food for the masses, now eggs are a premier league elite unless you have the cash to spare. It might be a good time to play around with some egg substitutes, or try vegan January (aka veganuary) and see how things pan out.
Regardless, hopefully, these brought a smile to your face and a resolve to diversify our investments.
