Just checked prices near me (Galveston/Houston area) for a dozen regular large eggs.
HEB $4.66
Aldi $4.39
Kroger $2.49 !
Maybe I should run to Kroger today and buy some extra before they go up. I currently have 15 eggs in the fridge, so if the avian flu crisis doesn’t last too long, three or four dozen should tide me over. USDA sell-by dates are stupid-short.
Around $5 is what we’ve been paying at Publix. I always buy the cage-free though, so possibly there are some cheaper. A co-worker told me she paid $7 last time she bought eggs from Wal-Mart.
And then she paid me $4 for a dozen, because my ladies have started to lay again.
Last weekend, Aldi, near Chicago: $3.79, limit 2!
I have no reference point for these prices. What was the normal price of eggs before? $6/doz doesn’t seem like a lot. $0.50 per egg seems like a bargain.
$7/dozen at Winco (a low price grocer) near Sacramento. My son reports $3.20 at Winco in Boise. So it seems somewhat regional - maybe egg farms outside CA are not as impacted?
A couple years ago the now-$6 eggs were about $2.50 most days most places. So double or maybe a bit more percentage-wise.
CA, like WA, has a cage-free egg mandate. Idaho doesn’t.
In Western PA a dozen eggs at Walmart are about $4.53/dozen. Aldi has them for around $4.39/dozen.
Shop N Save has them for $5.89/dozen.
This is according to information re: online ordering.
Have not been to the store to see what types of eggs are available but plan on shopping this weekend.
$9 + (+ if you need something fancy like organic). Just north of Boston.
I bought a dozen large a couple days ago at $3.99. The usual price for those eggs prior to shortages would be around $2. Central NC.
I don’t know what that would have to do with the current shortage/price spike. Last month eggs were in the normal price range of around $4/dozen, and the cage free mandate was in place then?
I think Christmas week was the highest at my local vista, CA Kroger store: $39 for four dozen eggs. I don’t buy eggs but a neighboring customer expressed his outrage with a colorful pejorative and about seven exclamation points!
The government controls the price of eggs here (Israel), so they the maximum price for a dozen large eggs is $3.84 after tax. Some retail chains sell them for a bit less.
Well, presumably your baseline price was already higher to begin with.
Huh. I was not aware of that.
Perhaps the issue is that CA’s normal large cage-free supply is now largely offline from the disease, and the rest of the country is struggling to supply enough of those specialty eggs. Whereas a different state without the cage-free mandate can draw replacement eggs from a far larger national pool.
Yah, that could be.
Is fifteen the usual quantity of eggs in Sweden? Because, in the US, it’s multiples of six; usually a dozen but sometimes just six eggs, or eighteen or 24.
