I was in the supermarket today ( local chain) and checked availability/prices. The shelves were about half full, and a man was literally restocking as I was looking. Prices per dozen varied, but the lowest was $4.99/dozen. I didnât buy, we eat a lot of eggs, but H bought plenty at Costco last week.
For reference: this is in the Twin Cities.
Our Costco - 2 dozen brown eggs are $8.19.
At TJ today prices ranged from $3.49 to $6.99. Well stocked, this is SE Michigan
At various bodegas and fruit-veggie stores in downtown and southwestern Brooklyn yesterday, there were plenty of eggs abut I saw none for less than $9/dozen. I have a few left; when theyâre gone, Iâll look for cheapest but buy what I find regardless. As a nonbaking single person household, I take a while to get through a dozen.

Publix in North Central Florida:
Highest dozen eggs $13.99
Lowest priced dozen eggs $3.99.
Most (as gauged by my eyes!) seemed in the $6-$8 range.
My local Costco raised the price of the brown organic to $9.99. Had been $7.89 last week.
We got Egglandâs Best, 2 dozen, 5.49 each today at Harris Teeter. Even their own brand was more. I dunno why but consider myself lucky this time.

Husband is in a senior basketball league - today he went to shoot baskets as he often does with one of the other guys. This other guy has a farm (used to run a booth at the farmers market). He often brings produce for the others, sometimes from a neighbor of his who has a roadside stand. Today husband came home with a dozen eggs - courtesy of the guyâs neighborâs chickens.

My brotherâs neighbor (living in upscale suburb with him) is starting to raise chickens so she can have fresh eggs and gave brother 4 fresh eggs to try.

My parents had chickens for years. Itâs not hard, but it definitely requires a time commitment and work. The most interesting thing is it seems most new chicken people regard them as pets because they are definitely personable little animals.
Same! The only thing annoying me is that ever since returning from Italy, I have been trying to make everything from scratch including bread and pasta. Bread is fine as it doesnât need eggs but pasta does so that has halted that! Other then that, I have 3 in my fridge right now and canât think of anything else that I need them for. My concern is the increased cost of the products you buy that are made with eggs and those going up.
Someone educate me on the egg whites in the box you buy? Is it any good?
I would think any products or services (restaurants) that use eggs will raise their prices soon.

I just checked in and Iâve seen people post prices that are all over the place. It would be helpful to know if those prices are actually up, and if so, by how much?
There are people posting prices now of $3.49 - $3.99. Thatâs pretty low. What were the prices before that?
If people want to buy fancy eggs at $10+ thatâs their problem.
DH has been using the egg beaters for a while on doctor recommendation. His take is that theyâre just ok for things like scrambled eggs/omelettes but adding even a single egg to the mix makes a world of difference. No info on the vegan ones or others though.

One dozen cage free eggs at Aldi $5.04 limit of 2. Michigan, northern lower to be more specific
One thing that I read that has also affected egg prices is the war in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are (were) a huge supplier of grain which chickens eat and with the rise of feed, the price of eggs goes up.
Seems crazy that a war on the other side of the world is effective in raising our food prices goes to that itâs a global economy and that there are many factors that contribute to rising prices
