What is the price of a dozen eggs in your neighborhood?

Asked by jonsblond (44417points) 2 hours ago from iPhone

We buy free-range eggs so we’re used to paying more. I’ve heard about prices going up for mass produced eggs but I never paid attention until today. I was shocked to see $5.24 for a dozen at Walmart. There were plenty available for purchase but the free-range and cage-free were wiped out. I’m assuming those might have been less expensive or equivalent, so why not buy better quality eggs?

My store is selling them for $0 because we literally don’t have any eggs.

Wow. I’m surprised. We aren’t far from each other. (btw, I was in Brookfield today.)

Yeah, it is kind of scary not seeing eggs. I don’t know why, it is just odd.

Oooohhh I was there at Macs a few weeks ago! Yummy place

Local Fred Meyer has almost all some plainer-carton brand – tons of them, except for a few hard boiled eggs. The new types cost more than they used to there. I think a little over $7/dozen, though I was looking at the free-range ones, which they do have, just a different a lower variety of brands.

A more expensive market only had one brand, for almost $10/dozen.

I think I could probably shop around and do better, but there’s definitely been egg chaos with the main stores.

I just paid 6.49 for two dozen large eggs yesterday at Costco in CT. Regular white eggs, not sure if they’re free range (they’re in the refrigerator and I’m cozy in bed so I don’t feel like getting up to look).

About a month ago, I got two dozen large eggs at Costco for 5.99.

Right now, I have over four dozen eggs in my refrigerator, because I feel like the price may go up. Eggs last for months in the refrigerator, so I’m not worried about them going bad. Sometimes I’ll boil up 5 or 6 to have or to put one on a salad, and I bake occasionally, so they go.

A friend who lives in NC told me she got eggs for 5 dollars a dozen (not sure what size eggs).
