Democrats Should Panic As Egg Prices Continue to Drop
PJ Media ^ | 03/17/2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/17/2025 1:00:07 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Remember when Democrats thought soaring egg prices would be the silver bullet to take down President Trump? Their plan just scrambled spectacularly. After hitting a wallet-busting peak of $8.17 per dozen in early March — the continuation of an upward trend from the Biden presidency — egg prices have plummeted below $4.

According to the latest data, eggs are now selling for $3.45 per dozen. That's a massive $3.10 drop in 2025 alone. But you wouldn't know it from reading the liberal media's deliberately misleading coverage.

Eggcellent 😎

Despite this plunge in egg prices, the mainstream media is desperately trying to keep that information from reaching your breakfast table.

The New York Times also reported on the price of eggs last week, ignoring the sharp decline in prices by only citing February data. "Egg prices continued their upward climb in February despite some easing in overall inflation,” the paper reported, “further straining consumers seeking relief from rising prices in the grocery aisles."

Newsweek also reported on Monday that eggs are now being smuggled into the United States from Mexico due to high prices.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized more egg products from United States borders this year than it has seized pounds of fentanyl.

Statistics from the CBP website show that so far in 2025, the agency has seized 5,938 egg products and 1,631 pounds of fentanyl coming into the US.

Newsweek could not make an exact one-to-one comparison as CBP measures eggs by number of products and fentanyl by weight.

Let’s crack open some truth here: The media is playing a shell game with the American people. They’re deliberately focusing on outdated February comparisons while ignoring March’s dramatic price decline. Even when they acknowledge the recent decline in prices, they are finding ways to dismiss it. Why? Because they can’t bear to admit that egg prices are now lower than the average levels we saw at the start of Trump’s term because it undermines the one effective talking point Democrats thought they had.

But the Democrats’ attempt to use egg prices as a political weapon has backfired spectacularly. Just like everything else in their playbook, this narrative has cracked under the weight of actual facts.

Well then, the Dems are flat out of things to grouse about.

I checked the egg prices at two stores today, and the price of eggs ranged from a low of $6.99 (per dozen) to a high of about $11.00 for “free range” eggs. We have a high cost of living in this area, but I think that only accounts for a small part of the huge gap between the $3.45 claim and what I’m seeing.

The democratic party premise: “ we couldn’t get egg prices down therefore it can’t be done”.

Headline should be: "Inflation and Egg Prices Continue to Drop, Democrats Hardest Hit".

Unfortunately, the price drops have not reached northeast Oklahoma. But then, I believe price gouging has been going on around here all along. Homeland Grocery and Harps own almost all the grocery stores around here, and their prices are outrageous. White eggs were over $10 A dozen, 10 days ago. I haven’t been back to check yet. We do have Aldi around here. White eggs are over $6 a dozen today, brown ones slightly higher, there. At Walmart, white eggs are $6. There are some really good things about Oklahoma, but price gouging is a real thing, here.

It’s no great surprise that prices would drop again. After killing of the laying hens, it would be six or seven months before the replacement hens were old enough to lay, thus re-starting the egg supply.

$7/dozen in my part of North Texas last night. I’ll probably see the drop soon.

The reduction is coming, it’s not an instant drop at your stores. Prices right now are most likely wholesale, not retail. When wholesale drops, retail drops. Give it time

Guess the Dems aren’t strutting about like roosters on this one. Nothing to crow about any longer.
