Summary
Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.
The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
I’m regularly seeing $12+
For me it’s more in the 6-10 range, the cheapest store brand are 5 something. They’re saying wholesale is averaging $8 at this point
Damn, and I thought seeing around $10 here was bad.
I remember buying a pack of 18 for $0.30 (pre-covid) and now the same pack cost $9-$10
