How much are a dozen eggs where you live?

[ziplock]

Caged, uncaged, organic, not organic.............my goodness.

I sure hope a quick solution to this bird flu comes soon.

Cheapest dozen here is: $4.17 at Walmart. And that is only if they are in stock to begin with.

Maybe where you live, $4.00 a dozen has been the norm for 20 years? Not here. $1.00 was crazy even 2 years ago.

Restaurants who serve breakfasts must be suffering very much.

What are you seeing in your neck of the woods with the price of eggs,

or things made with eggs, like mayonnaise,

and so much more.

In small town BC Canada. 4.17 Canadian. Waiting for Angela and figured I would walk over and look. That’s about 2.90 American…ish.

In 1930 a dozen eggs were $0.45- $7.01 in todays dollars.
In 1941 $0.40- $7.08 today
In 1944 $0.55- $8.13 in todays dollars
Eggs are cheaper today than they were 95 years ago.

Prices have been swinging substantially here partially cause the only option are small, rural markets. last year they shot up to over $8/dozen then were back down to $4. I just got back from the store and they were over $8 per dozen or $12 for 18.

Headed up to Pueblo tomorrow and will see what they cost at walmart there

The Safeway here in Auburn had lot of eggs the other day. I hear the bird flu strikes again keeping the price up and some places have a shortage, but certainly not the Auburn Safeway!

Anyway, I did buy a dozen "Open Nature Free Range Grade AA Large (Brown) eggs." I have the box of eggs to look at, but I cannot find the receipt, so I have no idea what I paid for them.

I normally do not even look at the prices when I go grocery shopping, I just get whatever I want, and I don't even think about the cost, so I didn't notice the price. But if I knew you were going to ask, I would have checked!

$4-$6 depending on which of the local farms I go to, been the same for more than a few years. Can get them for $3 but have to drive 10 miles. These are big eggs. Two of them in the morning with toast and I'm done eating until dinner.

Got eggs this morning here in Louisiana, couldn't believe how much eggs jumped in price in one week. Yikes!

At home in Indiana, my 4 "girls" have stopped laying over the cold months right now. It's too cold at home and the pen / cage I made for them to give them a nice place to live over the Winter is too dark and the day light hours are shorter too. So a combination of cold and not enough daylight, they've stopped laying right now (which is 100% perfectly normal). Hopefully, this cold weather will pass over soon and the girls can get back out in the sunlight!

It kills me to buy eggs when we are away from home because my 4 girls give us about 4 eggs every day in the prime of their egg laying yearly cycle. That's a LOT of eggs in a short while, and we'll have several dozen stocked up. But they do get used up too, and then cold dark months ... nada! We're in the "nada" zone right now.

(Where I'm at, right now in Louisiana??? around $7.00 a dozen).

I was just getting ready to leave for Reno but in the car I found the receipt for the Safeway Eggs. After Reno for a few days, I will head out for an RV trip in my 2022 Class A. A few new places to check out east of Gila Bend AZ.

On 01/17/2025 @ 1004 hrs I paid $5.99 for "Opn Nat Eggs Brown" as shown on the receipt. They probably had cheaper eggs there, so I cannot tell you the lowest price. I usually buy brown eggs. I once raised a few chickens (New Hampshire Reds) and I thought their large brown eggs were the best at the time.

But TBH, I doubt if I could tell any difference between the more expensive and cheapest eggs these days. The brown eggs are just habit with me.

Read the price tags last Friday.. The answer (This is just one store) ALL OVER THE PLACE.,

Low was around 3.89 and high nearly 8 bucks Of course they also offer "other than a dozen" and IO did not do the math on those sizes (Kroger).

In my state of Iowa alone millions of birds have been killed due to bird flu. Hundreds of thousands of turkeys too. Look out for your turkey dinner next fall!

I noted at Walmart the Egglands best which are ordinarily pricier than WM's store brand were not only far less expensive but almost all gone. Apparently Egglands is not taking advantage of the bird flu hysteria to hike prices whether they're affected or not.

In Fort Myers, Florida, a dozen eggs is twelve (12).

In Europe, with the metric system it could be different.

In a Public’s in FL, large is 5.19 and extra large is 6.29

It's $4.75/dozen (large) at my local Publix. Pennies less at Walmarts.

Walmart here is $4.17. A local market is $3.49. Walmart seems to be higher on most things. We also shop at Aldis. Beats Walmart on everything.
Last ones we got were FREE. My daughter has 6 young chickens and they are still laying.
Nice to have all different colored eggs. Plus, they make the Walmart Large Eggs look like peanuts.
