slo’s FRIDAY 1/10 poll - Price Of Eggs 🥚

[ClaraOswald]

Just checked Walmart online and their brand is $4.53 for a dozen.

That's what they are here (Nebraska) as well.

We typically get the Eggland's Best brand and they are about a dollar more.

We don't go through eggs very quickly, thankfully.

This thing is national. It isn't localized. I might have missed it but is anybody aware of why this is happening? Is there another bird flu that haven't heard about affecting hens and egg production? Please don't say it's political, because it isn't even slightly logical that is the reason. Have the chickens been striking for better working conditions and more time off or what?

Attempting to put this in prospective though even at $7.00 a dozen that's only $.58 per egg. Two make a pretty good omelet for just $1.16. Hard to find anything that packed with healthy things to eat anywhere. In other words quit whining and just stop buying them and eventually it will all come closely back to normal.

Quit trying to inject facts into a good rant....

If I have to pay 58 cents for an egg I won't be able to afford to drop $10k on a Disney trip.

DH paid just over $4 this afternoon for a dozen at Meijer. Hadn't bought any since before Christmas. We don't eat a lot of eggs obviously.

It’s been mentioned by multiple people on this thread that there’s another avian flu affecting egg production

$3.99, Wisconsin. Bird Flu has hit our area pretty hard.

Last week when my mom went grocery shopping every store in my area was out of eggs completely and Mom had checked Walmart who was sold out and checked Smart And Final and they too were sold out and Mom even checked CVS and CVS had no eggs as well. But just out of the blue Mom got a good deal on eggs at Safeway yesterday and she got the last carton. My family used to buy Eggland's Best eggs until they changed the taste and I can't figure out why Eggland's Best did this
