Egg prices, and impacts you are seeing

Bought 18 cage free (no organic available) Eggsland large eggs for $9.

I felt lucky.

Aldi had eggs for $5.09/dozen today; they were on sale for $4.79 at Kroger. Gulp!!

I bought 18 eggs the other day at Safeway grocery store for $11.19. I have a hospitalized friend, and I wanted to send her family my usual gift meal of egg/cheese casserole (sent along with a jar of green chili) - ā€œthe breakfast, lunch or dinner foodā€. It uses 10 eggs, so with current shortage they’ll know we really care :wink:

A small war broke out on the FB page of a local family owned grocery store. They have a rewards program where you get a point for every dollar you spend and then those points can be used on a series of weekly specials. For instance, a couple weeks ago, I used like 200 points to get ground chuck at $2.99/pound.

Well this week they advertised something like ā€œtired of paying outrageous prices for eggs? Our own local (mass) produced eggs are only .99 this week by using 300 points!ā€ People were furious - ā€œso I have to spend $300 to get one dozen (limit of one) eggs for .99??? I’ll just pay the freakin $7.99!ā€ Let me tell you, their ā€œspecialā€ did NOT go over well!

Last night I saw a cost comparison for eggs in the US (average) at $7.99 and in Cancun Mx at $2. I’m off to Mexico! (really I am, on Sunday, and I plan to eat a lot of eggs).

Is there less bird flu in other countries? Or are we more aggressively trying to stem the spread by culling flocks?

My daughter in CA says her Trader Joes is always out. I’ve been to the local one here in WI two days in a row now and they have had plenty, but do limit to 1 dozen a customer. But they are only $3.49 a dozen which is about 1/2 of what I paid at Kroger earlier in the week.

@kelsmom what part of country are you in? I live in DC/Baltimore region and just bought eggs on Monday at Aldi for $3.44/dz. Interesting to see the price difference.

The same day I stopped at Safeway for something else and checked their egg prices out of curiosity. $5.99/dz.

Prior to Monday I last bought eggs at Trader Joe’s two weeks ago. They were $3.49/dz but not sure how much they are currently selling for.

Hopefully by the time my kids get home from college egg prices will come down b/c we go thru a lot more eggs when they are home.

One of my neighbors died last week. They are vegetarians, and I want to take a veggie quiche to them…when I find eggs!

Same thing at our TJ’s this week. Limit one and they sell out early.

We were out of eggs for a week or so before my annual checkup. So oatmeal was our breakfast of necessity :joy:. Not sure if that was a factor, but my bloodwork was amazingly healthy.

:open_mouth: :scream: The time stamp in this article is not correct. This happened last night, not in July of 2025 :laughing:. The thieves took eggs and bacon and left the booze behind.

So some software read 2/7/25 as 2/July/25. Portage Bay better watch out! Leave the money/gun; take the eggs/cannoli.

Second weekend in a row, no eggs of any kind at the Costco in unincorporated south Snohomish County, WA. The cooler space usually reserved for eggs is filled with other refrigerated items like butter. As if eggs have never been sold here!

Went to my regular grocery store today, and eggs were still available, yet the inventory was rather depleted compared to ā€œusual.ā€ Additionally, there was a limit on how many 18+ cartons you could purchase (only 2 per customer). I didn’t check prices this time.

Here in the Silicon Valley area, my local Safeway has priced cartons of 18 eggs at $8.99, which I have bought at that price multiple times in the past couple of weeks.

Haha, I’m pretty sure this isn’t how you meant it, but it sounds like that one carton has been sitting there for a couple weeks with no takers.

That’s not what I meant, but English is my first language, so there’s that. I’ll correct for stupidity.
