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

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.

Egg prices were $10 to $12 a dozen here in the San Fernando valley near Los Angeles.

Still expensive.
Walmart - 12 large eggs are $7.12 and $10.52 for 18 large

Where in the US are eggs $3.45/dozen? I live in Southern California. Cheapest I can find here is $9.99 for a dozen medium eggs and $10.99 for a dozen large eggs.

The report is from the Department of Agriculture, so if you don’t believe them, well, it’s up to you.

The delay between wholesale price drops and retail price changes in grocery stores can happen for a few reasons:

Inventory Turnover: Stores may still be selling eggs purchased at higher prices. Until that stock is sold, the lower wholesale prices might not be reflected on shelves.

Supply Chain Lag: It takes time for price adjustments to work their way through the supply chain, from producers to distributors to retailers.

Retail Pricing Strategies: Some stores may choose to maintain higher prices temporarily to recover costs or maximize profits.

Typically, it can take a few weeks for wholesale price changes to be fully reflected in retail prices.
