kiryandil: "Eggs in some parts of the US are $7.00 a dozen - IF you can get them."

As of December 2024, the average US price for a dozen large eggs is $3.65.

My local Walmart (eastern PA) sells a dozen large white eggs for $4.00.
The nearby upscale Giant Foods sells them for about $5.70.
There are no shortages I've heard of.

In 2019 US eggs averaged around $1.40 per dozen.

In Moscow, eggs averaged about $1.00 per dozen in 2021.
In Moscow today eggs average about $1.40 per dozen.

If that sounds relatively cheap, then remember that the average (median) American earns 12 times more ($71,000/year) than the average Russian ($5,500/yr).
In the affluent Moscow region, the median income is nearly $7,000/yr.

So, relative to median incomes, Moscow eggs cost the equivalent of $17 ($1.40 X 12) per dozen today, and there are many reports of shortages, plus special packaging to prevent food staples from being stolen.

Might help if you stop using 1990 numbers for Russia.
