What's crazy to me is that people won't even buy local eggs that are still being sold for cheaper. A year ago, the free range and pasture eggs were going for $5-7 a dozen in my area and still selling. We sell eggs for a relative that pasture raises chickens and we were selling out weekly at $4 a dozen. Had to raise price to $5 a dozen because of feed cost and we have just gotten no sales in weeks. People just, in general, have stopped buying any eggs. A guy down the road from us sells for $4 a dozen still and he's fully stocked. It's kind of surreal. Meanwhile the cheapest eggs at the store are $5+ and the pasture raised type store eggs and in the teens. It's a few days before Easter and I haven't sold a single dozen eggs in two weeks.
