Summary
Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.
The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.
Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.
Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.
Bruh. I just paid $11.83 for a dozen (granted they were organic pasture raised but still)
I just saw an 18 pack for $14.75 yesterday at my local grocery. A dozen is $10, and that’s for the white eggs, not the brown ones. Luckily we have a Grocery Outlet that had a dozen for $7.50, but holy shit.
2 packs of 18 used to be $7 bucks. Now one pack of 18 is $8.
I’ve stopped buying eggs.
“i just bought the always high priced ones at a high price!”
Amazing.
They used to be $6 🤷♂️
