shit I forgot to look yesterday.

a week ago the entire egg area was wiped out. when I walked by yesterday all I noticed was that there were eggs on the shelves again.

the online listing for my local grocer says $5/doz for the junkfed industrial white leghorn style trash eggs. which, goddam.

Major grocery stores are selling eggs 4.69/dozen AA large eggs, 6.79 organic. Interestingly the "crunchy" super-market that mostly sources from local and/or organic farms is selling normal eggs for 3.99/dozen and organic for 4.99 and 5.99 depending on the brand. Before bird-flu the crunchy store would sell eggs 1-2 dollars more per dozen than major supermarkets. The price at the crunchy store has remained static since before bird-flu. I live in an area with a relatively large number of "small" farms independent from large ag companies.

Between $5-$9 a dozen depending on store. This is in NV

5/12 is the cheapest, but sometimes thats at bulk pricing so im spending 15/36. But I've seen the expensive premium eggs at 9/12.

[–] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

In Seattle yesterday at my neighborhood Kroger-owned grocery, a dozen cage-free eggs was $7.50.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

~$17,532 using Maddow-adjusted computations.

Also - don't tell anybody - but if I lib wants to trigger me all they need to do is make an "egg prices" joke.

About $4/dozen in Kentucky.

I got groceries last week and noticed most of the eggs were around $8-12 a dozen. Before all the bird flu stuff, it was more like $3-5 for a dozen. Should note that the aisles have been looking pretty slim lately. Not a ton of stock available.

Getting to the point where vegan egg replacement is about the same price per volume which is good for me.

Went through a Walmart this weekend and my spouse remarked that the price for a dozen eggs was a bit above 6$ US.

Some clever entrepreneurs could make a killing right now by stealing wild bird eggs

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Just post the in store prices and there will be an end to the horror!

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

My last dozen was $6. In CA, we are still recovering from a recent mass culling due to bird flu

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not sure, they're out-of-stock. The grocery store website claims $5.99 per dozen.
