To hopefully help anyone out that buys eggs at Costco like I do:
- Despite the picture used in the article, these are the brown eggs, not white ones.
- They come in the plastic eggshell container in packs of 24
- You’re looking for the expiration date of Jan 6, and a Julian code of 327. These are printed directly on the plastic ON THE SIDE of the container, not on the top. It’s very easy to not notice the printing at all if you’re not specifically looking for it (or sometimes even if you are).
- Costco97.com has a much clearer image and explanation of what you’re looking for here
- You would have most likely purchased these Nov 22-26 (The Saturday to Wednesday BEFORE Thanksgiving in the US)
That’s 2 if’s. Sure, IF both of those things were true, maybe it would net out, but still be a paperwork and cashflow delay for the company (pay the duty today, get the money back at some point in the future) which sucks liquidity out of the market and generally holds back growth and investment.
But that isn’t particularly relevant since neither of those two things will ever happen. The tax cuts will go to the top earners, and retaliatory tariffs are very much a thing and cannot be ignored.
