We always used them to make żurek or biały barszcz (Polish sour soup, sometimes called “Easter soup”) with them. Plus egg salad and/or eating out of hand, of course.
Just came back from a grocery run. A dozen regular eggs were $6.19 Canadian, so about $4.28 US. No limit per customer.
A slight diversion but still fits into the title. Is bird flu also affecting the cost of chocolate eggs?
Not sure about chocolate eggs, but news is reporting chicken egg prices have dropped. You can see that in charts like the one below. However, while the price around here has dropped a bit, they are still way more expensive than $3/dozen like the chart says. Maybe it’s regional, but they are still expensive here.
I think that may be a wholesale prices chart. Retail’s going to be higher.
We are still in the $7-9/dozen range (at least last weekend). I guess the good news was the store actually had eggs.
There seems to be regional variability along two vectors:
a) Price, and
b) Availability
I’ve seen anecdotes on other forums that in some places, egg prices have dropped significantly since the week of March 8-15 or thereabouts. But I’ve seen other reports (including my own experience shopping locally) that the high prices have remained stable in recent days.
And aside from all that … some places have plenty of expensive eggs. Some places have shortages of expensive eggs. And now some places apparently have plenty of getting-cheaper eggs.
Unsure if anyplace is experiencing shortages of getting-cheaper eggs, but I can see it happening if people in a given locale take to stocking up on eggs all at once because they’re the cheapest they’ve been in a few months.
When I went shopping today eggs were $4.79/dozen, $7.19/eighteen, and $9.99/thirty. I’m currently out of eggs, and briefly considered picking up a 30-pack (which comes to about $4/dozen, but decided to wait for the next time they/re on sale.
Odd to see $4.79/dozen and for me to think “damn, so cheap where @LurkMeister lives!”.
These all 700 gm Australian dollar and 2 carton limit
Free range organic up to $14.00
Extra large Free range $8.80
Coles Jumbo $6.75
Coles Cage Free $5.40 < lowest
After exchange those would come $3.40 US dollar
I noticed a dozen eggs being offered as a raffle prize 
Just paid between $8 and $9 for an 18-pack at our local grocer. But this local chain store is normally more expensive than many others. I don’t think it’s changed much in the last few months.
A few months ago the store was having a sale on eggs - something like $2/dozen, with a limit of four dozen. There was a guy in the dairy section with a mini-pallet of them passing them out. I’m not sure if he was there to make sure no one took more than four dozen, or just to save the time of putting them in the cooler. One thing I noticed was that he opened each package to show that none of the eggs were broken.
You should also jiggle the eggs to make sure they’re not broken on the bottom. (Usually they’ve been broken long enough to stick.)
Holding pretty steady at the Mennonite store: conventional local 5.49, organic 6.99, both for a dozen large. The previous three-dozen-limit sign has disappeared, and there were plenty in the case.
Extra-large free-range eggs are $5.04 for 18 here, so $3.36 a dozen. And that’s at probably the most expensive store to buy eggs at in South Africa…
Kwik Trip (local convivence store) had a sign advertising $3.99/dozen.
