had to go to three stores before we found one with eggs

In Colorado, surrounded by the same poultry farms that gave us the first human transmission case:

Affordable grocers have had no stock for much of the last six months or so. When you can find them in stock, it's about $5/dozen with a pre-bird flu price of around $3/dozen.

Luxury grocers have had no reasonably priced eggs in stock for the same length of time. There are sometimes one or two options for high-end eggs at $10-12/dozen. They also have cartons of liquefied whole eggs and egg whites.

Both ration eggs to 1-2 dozen per customer when they're in stock.

Chicken-focused restaurants are either going out of business, raising prices (a breakfast burrito went from $6 to $9 at my favourite taco truck), or limiting their egg usage with intermittent shortages. Barbecue is another cuisine that has been particularly impacted since those animals are fed chicken shit from the infected poultry farms. I think we've lost three or four local bakeries in the past six months.

I get my eggs from a local farmer who charges $3 a dozen

He calls me Skip, but that's a fair trade in my book

These prices are insane. Is it because of the bird flu?

5.40 a dozen, I've been using flax seed and garbanzo liquid eggs in baked goods since you usually can't tell anyway.

Sorry, but I came into this thread to brag about being

Recently, I learned to simmer tofu in extremely salty water for 2 minutes to dry it out. Drip dry. Then toss it with cornstarch, oil, and black pepper. I put it in my toaster oven at 425 for 14 minutes on each side. Or just sauté it in a pan for a lil bit. Comes out crispy as hell. Then I toss it in a sauce made from green onion, garlic, ginger, oil, gochujang, xaoxing wine, Chinese black vinegar, Sichuan chili bean paste, and soy sauce. Then I add some cabbage for extra veggie goodness. And toasted sesame oil.

For breakfast, you could do a simpler sauce with just soy, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Or something western like pesto.

Anyway, tofu slaps, and you can get an organic brick of it with 70g of protein for like 3$

Shaws/Albertsons has a dozen for 4.99 in new hampshire

Last night I saw 9.99 for the 'we treat the chickens slightly more humanely' version

I have no idea

Holy shit, I haven't bought eggs in about 6 months and had no idea it got this bad. Local farmers with small operations tend to sell for much cheaper than supermarket prices under normal conditions, it would be interesting to see what they're charging at farmers markets and roadside stands at the moment.

4.50 USD from the walmart near me checking online, I don't buy eggs so idk if that is out of the ordinary.

The lowest price on the shelf where I work is $5 for a dozen. There are none of those though.

There are $6 and $8 dozens of the store brand. I think they're organic. The highest cost dozen is like $14 I think but they're the super organic bougie ones.

The store has been receiving less then a quarter of the eggs getting ordered too so the shelves get wiped out fast.

American Lite here, I'll check when I go to the store later, I'm curious how it compares to down south

Saw a coupon for 4.⁹⁹ with super card (not pictured) but most are between 7-10 dollars

in the Midwest. a bit more expensive than a year ago maybe, but not like what I'm seeing online.

Dems think they look like sassy geniuses for holding Trump responsible for egg prices, and not like total psychopaths for flipping 180 degrees overnight to suddenly claiming food prices matter and that the president is responsible for them

Couldn't tell you, I'm a vegan BTW. However, a large Hass Avacado in my area is $2.50 a piece which is preposterous

Canada, not far from the border

This is in Canadian dollars too. Someone good at the economy please explain

Over 9$ a dozen in my part of CA, at the grocer that sells them the cheapest (so these aren't particularly good eggs either). I'm very glad that I don't care for eggs much.

I've seen it fluctuate from 4-6 dollars for a dozen of the factory-farm shit. It's actually cheaper (for now) to go to local health-food store and get something off your local Amish farm or the like. Usually 4-5, or 7 on the super organic specialty stuff.

Kinda wish my sister still had her coop, but a fox got in or something and went DoomGuy on them.

$6.59 according to doordash at my store.

$7.50/dozen it's just dropped down a tiny bit.

I live in Major Metropolitan City and eggs I’ve seen fully sold out for $7.99. At local subreddits I’m seeing $11.99 and such.

Granted Major Metropolitan City has a problem with price gouging already.

I used to buy these at $11 a box. They used to be the best way to ride out the price jumps, but they've been up around 20 and above since summer sometime.

It was 6 dollars a dozen at my local trader joes

My in-laws said they paid $14 for a dozen last week.

My wife and I have stopped buying eggs at this point though. Between the bird flu ripping through our farms and the subsequent price increase caused by it, we just don’t think it’s worth it.

The store near me was at $9 for their store brand organic free range last week (which were the only ones in stock), but this week they’re at about $5 for the same.

$6.50 for 12, I live in a MCOL area

god damn

eggs here are like £3 for a dozen

not even
