I didn’t know that the price of eggs was a big point in the presidential campaign (and how silly that is compared to the thousands of other troubles we have), but in a way you make my point. German people like to complain about the price of gas (yeah, I know that was/is a real big thing in the US too, but most people here would love to pay what you folks pay for gas. Not me), bread or beer, but not of eggs.
I just paid 61 cents/egg for 18 large local eggs at Safeway. That may not have been my cheapest option, but my first priority is to avoid plastic containers and my next is to buy as local as I can. I had to pay $10.99 for 18 eggs from a farm on Oahu, packaged in cardboard.
I generally expect everything to cost more here in Hawai’i, but it sounds like $.61 is probably not bad right now.
The question is less about absolute prices and more about where they go over the next four years, of course.
Also Hawaii, CairoCarol, but on Oahu. COSTCO was out for a bit but has limited dozens at $5.99. Safeway has always had some but crept up to $7.99 and $8.99 organic /doz.
I did score two dozen jumbo at the $7.99 and better yet - every other one has been a double yoker. 
I’m more concerned about the price of chicken and ground beef.
Ground beef has gotten expensive too.
$4 a dozen here at the Kroger in Little Rock.
Yes, meatloaf is now a gourmet meal, price wise, considering it has ground beef and eggs. Incidently, I’ve seen ground chuck per lb. at the same price as steak. I’m waiting for our all powerful grifter in chief to bring all those prices down. 
It was a week ago or so, but I was at the store and
saw that I could get large, free-range eggs for $3.79 a dozen, or I could get a different brand of large, free-range eggs for $9.49 a dozen.
Decisions, decisions…
I’ve been with my parents for a few days and twice I tried without success to buy my mother egg salad sandwiches from two delis (one in a supermarket). I wonder if the price rise in eggs is the reason it wasn’t available; I assumed it was the wrong time of year for egg salad. (More of a summer thing?)
The math here would indicate that the “street value” of this heist is 40 cents per egg.
A woman I work with has hens … lots of 'em. She sells eggs for 3.25 a dozen. I like local farmrd eggs, so I’m pretty happy about that.
I might know of a person who knows a person who could get you some eggs….no questions asked. (Obviously jk)
I wish my chickens would get to work! I’d be making a fortune! At least we don’t have to buy eggs very often.
Wife hit (not literally) Costco here in Hawaii and was eggstremely happy to find eggsported mainland organic eggs back in supply. Hmmm - Organic eggs eggspurtly blaegged (see blag) in Pennsylvania, Hawaii is a perfect place to fence them. Two 24 packs not eggorbantly priced. She checked for cracks in case they “had just fallen off a truck.” Nope, perfect, eggselent. Three egg omelets are back!
How much for 24 eggs at Costco in Hawaii?
I heard/read this morning that the egg shortage should start to recover in the 2nd Quarter of the year.
They were $8.99 for 24 organic eggs.
Aldi near me had no eggs at all.
The bigger supermarket, Stop and Shop (a regional chain in the northeast) had several varieties. The cheapest were Large, $6.99/dozen. Other dozens were 7.29 for brown, 7.49 for XL, 8.99 for organic and 9.49 for free range.
So the cheapest eggs were 58 cents each.
