I have to say I am rapidly losing interest. I buy diamonds regularly to enhance the play but go into the paper to find nothng but "eggs". I feel the balance of the game needs to be addressed.

The newspaper contains what farmers advertise. The influx off any item or any items fluctuates with the helpers, certain events and farmers attempts at machine mastery.
I remember as a rookie farmer marvelling at all of the bacon and eggs, but then that was one of the first things I could produce!
There will always be SOMETHING dominating the DD - when I started it was B&E, blue sweaters, and red berry cakes! Now it's eggs. Last year it was red hats and tofu dogs. There's always something :)
I buy A LOT of eggs, and I am always surprised to find some expansion materials or a premium item mixed in.
It's supply vs demand. Ever since Rose got introduced farmers have been producing more eggs than they can consume.
Like Perky said, if it wasn't Eggs dominating, it would just be something else like Wheat etc.
Cloche hats are about as plentiful in the paper as eggs. I only make the hats to keep a supply in my barn, don't even bother trying to sell any.
The upside to this is that there are items that are generally always available in the DD.
So that if you want you can choose not to bother with making chicken feed because eggs are so readily available. You can choose to grow crops that take longer because wheat is always available.
Indigo, red hats, tofu dogs. Always available. Even wool and goat milk.
And focus on making and growing items that are not commonly sold.
I have a very low shopping threshold too but I recognize that the paper is what it is and play accordingly.
I don't grow pumpkins, peppers or strawberries because I know I can find them in the paper easily enough.
I click on those egg ads because folks are hiding good stuff behind eggs, hoping their ads will stay in the paper longer - ESPECIALLY folks who need help with trees or a boat :)
I find I often buy eggs when I'm doing a lot of cooking. So I love when they can be easily found. When I have too many eggs and the barn is overflowing, I put them up for sale, usually at default, to make enough space to wake the pets and collect their drops.
My chickens sat hungry for 2 years so i cant complain over eggs lol
.....and today when I needed eggs in a hurry and there were no eggs in the paper😱😂. Later on there were lots. LOL.😂😂
