January 2021, the unelected vote fraud fake president came in.
Eggs were 99¢ a dozen.
They rapidly went up to three, four, five.
Now they are ten dollars a dozen as the illegitimate “administration” leave.
Crazy.
I can get a dozen large eggs (Great Value) from Walmart for $4.17 - just looked it up on line. I’m in S, MS
Where are you - Kalifornia?
I live in texas, Houston, and the eggs are $9-$13 dollars a dozen.
In East Texas, eggs are $5.49 a dozen - this week.
HEB has their house brand $2.49 limit two, they sell out before they hit the shelves people are buying them out of the stock boy’s boxes in the early mornings.
It’s just the flu bro...H5N1 is spreading fast amongst flocks in over half of the continental states. It’s irrelevant whether you “believe” it the effect is mass cullings of flocks to contain the spread. If to u thing the incoming admin is going to stop the cullings you are naive it’s the best scientific way to limit the spread. And yes that means for a period of time supply and demand means those with the capital get the eggs they desire at the price they are willing to pay. Winter should slow the wild spread as birds bed down , but in spring when they migrate back their droppings will spread it around again. H5N1 has been around for years it periodically has outbreaks that’s just life and when it jumps to cows and pets it starts to spread faster and wider.
Here in Indiana, they range from $2.99 for 18 eggs to $5.39 for 18 eggs depending on the sales for the week.
91 pesos ($5 or so) for 36 eggs in Mexico. Not great, not horrible.
Could probably find cheaper if I cared enough to shop around
WOW.
They went from 11 cents in ny during Trump to 41 cents back to about 35 cents, which would be $4.20
10 bucks is INSANE
2.95 - 1.65 jumbo dozen
Does Aldi put out ads so that you know when something is on sale, or do you just go there to see what’s on sale that day?
I saw $9.39 for 18 at Woodman’s Market. Ridiculous.
$3 dozen in Dallas
What is ugly increase is my car insurance. $2/day for basic liability,
No collision, minimum liability. No accidents on record. Drive less than 5000 miles in a year.
Well if they just stomped out all the good ol country hicks with a chicken pen raising fresh eggs around the state, like they ought to because they don't have licenses and inspections, Texas could have their own egg shortage. I am sure Abbott will get on that. And if he doesn't the Vipers nest of RINOs could work with the democrats again to impeach him like they did Paxton, once they get done impeaching Paxton again like they's talking about.
I decided to raise my own chickens for egg production. Granted, the landlord and the other 60 tenants in the building are not too pleased, but at least they will be able to buy my eggs for less than 2 bucks a dozen.
>If eggs go to $20 a dozen, I’m gonna buy some hens.
Count on a 6 month lag from chick to first egg; get started well before you’re in need.
Personally I’m in favor of distributed production of as much as possible for both individual and national resilience of necessities, for our health, to raise the level of self-reliance to combat leftist thought, and along the way effect a real conservation for our natural beauties and resources (not environMENTALism).
Here is one of the supposed causes. Who knows?
For more than two years, farmers have fought a battle with
a fatal strain of bird flu that continues to disrupt the U.S.
egg supply. Recent outbreaks of the virus across multiple
states claimed roughly 8% of the U.S. flock of egg-laying
hens in just four months. With limited supplies, shoppers
have seen skyrocketing prices at some grocery stores, and
many have encountered buying restrictions or empty shelves.
Egg prices rose nearly 37% in one year

$2 a dozen for large brown pasture raised eggs - from my neighbor
I’m getting some day old chicks this Spring
Here in michiganstan, a law just went into effect that states only cage free eggs can be sold in michiganstan...
6.32 a dozen at wally world..
Thanks for your thoughtful response!
Because I have purchased free-range and/or organic eggs since time immemorial, I neglected to take into consideration the fact that they were once a "specialty product" and thus might have had a correspondingly high price "back in the day."
I still wonder why free-range organic eggs here in Germany are so much cheaper than in America; I would have expected the reverse to be true.
Addendum: I just checked my receipts for the produce we get delivered weekly to our doorstep by a local truck farmer; his free-range (not necessarily organic) eggs cost €5.oo for a ten-pack.
Regards,
Our grocery store had NO EGGS when I checked last week. Lucky we have private growers who still sell eggs for up to $4 a dozen! I used to have laying hens till I got too old to take care of them.
My wife’s niece refused to eat our farm raised eggs as they were too orange yokes. She was used to store bought eggs with a pale yellow yoke.
