...the website for the supermarket by our house.
A dozen range from $3.59 for large brown to $5.89 for jumbo white.
But, there is a 30 pack of xtra large white for $13.
So, prices vary a lot.
The Walmart about 15 miles away was cheaper. The best deal was 3 dozen for $13.20.

I did not need them then. I will have to check what they are on my next trip.

I know that prices vary a lot, and I also know what kroger is doing. We are NOT amused.

Our local grocery store hiked the price of Eggland eggs from $5.01 to $6.01 in one week. I bought them because the HEB brand eggs were $4.71 and still are. We like Eggland’s eggs.

Cantalopes are $3.12 each.😳

Between H5N1 Avian flu and the new law requiring cage-free hens, the prices have exploded. I will wait it out. From what I have read, grocers and producers believe the prices will stabilize in a few months.

Their egg situation is especially weird because they use it as a sort of loss-leader.

My local one had plenty of eggs but the fancy brand was not there at all..

I do think it's funny and sad that MAGATs are likely to get hit with high egg prices when it's really the only concrete thing he promised to address economically.

And they know they have a captive audience. They love to advertise “Price Lock” on items, only to bump them up by a buck or more a few weeks later, still with the “Price Lock” tag.

Eventually they will have competition with all the building going on around here, and I make this pledge now, KS will lose my business the very minute I have a choice.

F Kroger.

A few weeks ago, this same product was $0.75 (cents). Other stores were more expensive at the time.

out of my hens. It’s winter so they’re not producing regularly- I don’t add light to force them to keep laying.

When they crank back up, I’m usually giving away eggs left and right and begging for empty cartons.

I got one egg a day all winter - now 2 -probably 4 in a few weeks. I like raw and runny eggs so I have my own chickens. I’ve always had a few chickens for over 20 yrs.

But chicken math keeps hitting.

I have 17. Ten are new from last spring, so I’m actually disappointed in the 2-a-day rate. The new olive eggers collectively said no to laying any eggs this winter and they are more than half of my newest ones.

When Fresh Thyme opened up, their egg pricing was very good, plus they offered more of what I liked, reasonably priced as well. Was at a Trader Joe's today (an hour from my home, next to medical clinic I was visiting), and picked up a cage -free large brown dozen for $3.99, which struck me as a solid deal!

a dozen this week, limit two dozen per customer.

Eggs are probably the cheapest animal based protein here.

Thirty packs are the most common size though six, twelve, and eighteen packs are also available.

North America is compromised of three countries with different monetary systems!

Typical price at a supermarket, occasionally on sale for less.

but I try and buy the eggs that are certified humane. I do not want any eggs from chickens crowded in cages. That's incredibly cruel and increases the likelihood of salmonella. Whole Foods actually sells humane eggs around $5 a carton. .60 an egg is a reasonable price to me.

in Pahrump, Nevada on Wednesday, January 8th.

I thought it was a mistake, but saw that all the eggs have gone up. Eggs are a staple in my diet, so it kinda sucks.

Yeah, more expensive but way more flavor and a whole lot healthier for you.

I used to think that "free range" was good... now, who knows. From WiKi

No biggie.

Loaded with vitamins & minerals. I have my own chickens but if I need extra, I would rather pay a few dollars more and buy organic free range or better yet buy from a local farm.

I live in a suburban county in Ohio that still has some farms. One of them sells eggs and you get a discount if you come early and wander all over the place helping to look for them. Winter the chickens can get out but they stay in. Summer, you never know where the eggs will end up.

They also sell meat. I grew up on a farm so I'm really grateful to still be able to know where my protein comes from. I pay $8 for 6 eggs and feel like I got a bargain.

I have five eggs in the fridge. Carton says best by 7/5/24.
Should I throw them out?

if it sinks, it is good. if it floats to the top, either old or toss. Or just crack one open and see.

They have hundreds of drones scheduled for his Jan. 20 Royal Processional, where they intend to drop hundreds - hopefully thousands - of raw eggs on *rump and the *rumpsuckers.

(I love feeding their paranoia. )

For some reason, "I swear to god, I thought turkeys could fly" keeps running through my head.

months past the stamped date but 6 months is a long time … would spring for fresh.

I hate when the peel stick to the eggs. I have tried everything, the ice plunge bath, peeling them straight out of the hot water, vinegar, salt, or baking soda in the boiling water, purified water, tapwater. The only thing that works is using older eggs..

shells practically fall off on their own.

natural release (or longer when I forget), dunk in cool water, break the shells and peel under running water. The shells come off in sometimes as few as 2-3 pieces

I use our pressure cooker for hard-boiling eggs, but I follow the 5-5-5 rule and they always turn out great.

Put them in the pressure cook, set the time for 5 minutes
After the 'beep', unplug the pressure cooker, wait 5 minutes
Move the eggs to cold water for 5 minutes.

are. Mine always have perfect centers, but yours do too, so there you go

..by leaving them out of the fridge for a couple days, it helps them peel

I understand many don't want to shop through Amazon, but I put the price merely as an example. Other stores like Aldi will have lower prices as well. A lot depends on where you shop. Trader Joe's has lower prices than your store too.

one single penny.

Siiiigh. As I posted, we do not have aldi's here. And I had already posted about the price of eggs at Trader Joe's. Seriously, I do know that different chains have different prices. However, some of them are extremely inconveniently located, offsetting possibly cheaper prices.

Whole Foods lists them at $8/dozen. Remember that prices vary wildly across the US!

down grocery prices.

I’ve started eating tofu. That’s new for me. More beans too.

Really easy NYT recipe for tofu, includes coconut milk and green beans. They call for turbinado sugar but I just use granulated.

Great over rice and pretty fast to make.

with all that white stuff on the ground. Thank you for telling me, and for alerting me to the H5N1 avian flu, which I never would have known about.

Thanks so much for alerting us with your informative post.

on that day, as other threads by other posters on this topic have done.

It wasn't that long ago my main dinner consisted of boiled cabbage and potatoes. Day after day .

Bird Flu is why the price has skyrocketed, and selection has plummeted.

effect on availability, and, consequently, on pricing. What some people do not seem to understand, is that this thread is simply discussing differing prices in different areas, as well as differing prices in the same area, the same way we see posts here about the price of gas. The implied superiority of posts announcing the existence of H5N1, and winter, is actually quite amusing.

As there are in every thread about gas prices.

decent, they would NEVER do ANYTHING unethical or dishonest. But do keep trying.

Nobody NEEDS to eat eggs.

Loaded with good protein, good fats and lots of minerals.

Very healthy food for little money.

Cooks like egg. Bakes like egg. Made from mung beans. Vegan. Cruelty free.

I went in, which I would guess we can expect from now on.

Try Oliver’s. Last time I was in, the whole case was local house brand and they were 4.49

Thanks, will check it out

That way, TSF can claim he brought down the price of eggs immediately on taking office, the grocers only sustain a few days of suboptimal revenue before returning to competitive market price, and everyone can blame POTUS Biden for high egg prices one last time. Not saying it's necessarily happening, just that it's conceivable.

It's basic supply and demand. If you have to destroy millions of birds the price of eggs goes up. I'm watching everything else. Fresh fruits and vegetables are priced pretty high now, but I suspect after the Trump roundup starts they will skyrocket. I watch store sales and buy nonperishables even if I don't immediately need them. I'm planning a bigger garden this year.

We also understand about price gougung and manipulation. And some of us know how to shop frugally. .many of us have no choice. And many of us live in apartments not necessarily near community gardens. We do the best we can.

being snotty, so I was a bit surprised.

As for gardening. . I spent the weekend watching gardening videos, including people who finally realized how wasteful lawns are, and turned them into gardens. Years ago, friends and I tried to talk our community into doing just that, having been inspired by a community in England (whose name escapes me at the moment) that had done so, with great success. People were not willing to give up their lawns. You should have heard the anguished wails when serious watering restructions were declared (months later than they should have been, as we live in a high-altitude desert!). . "BUT OUR LAWNS!!!" JFC people, what part of "we are running out of water" do you NOT understand. Fortunately, we had no major fires that season.

Millions of hens, killed due to one or a few in a group with bird flu takes a toll on production.

There were few eggs in the fridge.

shortly before I arrived.

such widely different prices, ranging from reasonable to outrageous to insane, there is more than just avian flu (which we all know has been going on for some time) going on. We all know the nasty price gouging, greedflation, shrinkflation, etc., in which corporations engage at all times, the avian flu gives them cover.

it warms up

Orange juice just went up again to $8.50 a gallon for Kroger brand. I was buying half gallon at $3-3.50, now $4.50. I will find a replacement until prices come down. I know there is some sort of blight going on but I think they raised the price in anticipation of the orange monster's coronation.

Will have to pay more attention.

At my Kroger's here in West Virginia, a dozen of Kroger brand Grade A Large eggs are $3.99, with a 50 cents off coupon knocking that down to $3.49. The 18-count carton is $5.99 - no coupon.

Their website also says "Due to recent supply shortages of fresh eggs across the market, we are currently limited in sourcing eggs that meet our strict quality standards. We appreciate your patience as we work to get all egg varieties back in stock." But when I was in the store on Monday, the egg case was about one-quarter full. I was able to get eggs.

there were almost no eggs, which I understood. But the difference in price between King Soopers and Natural Grocers and Trader Joe's is interesting.

grocery stores to get customers in. Two days ago I was in twik trip and eggs were $4.50/dz for large eggs. I had not bought eggs since just before christmas-bought several dozen for christmas baking, guests etc and then they were regular price.--limit 2 doz per customer. Anyways, the price shocked me the other day.

Since I was going to stop at Gen Dollar for cat supplies, I thought I would get them there. Went there and eggs were 4.75--but NO eggs anyways. damn.

our motto should be, "buy them whenever you see them"!

got there when it 1st opened and went straight to the area where eggs and milk are placed. Got my eggs which prices where higher (24 at $7.50)) but way more less than markets. 15 minutes later, that section was packed full of shoppers buying eggs.

Actually, I think we are going back to shithole era of paying more because there is less.

It’s been a blessing to have them plus the hens and the goats are a total stress relievers.

I just love eggs to much.

loving and wanting one's eggs. I missed mine until I got to Natural Grocers the other day. I am waiting for my friends' hens to start laying again.

Life seemed simpler back then.

All I can report is that none of them were priced in the stratosphere. Higher than normal, yes, but not beyond all possibility.

Something I have only seen mentioned once, is that there is bird flu affecting the flocks, and that something like a million chickens have been slaughtered to keep it from spreading. If I understood correctly, that would certainly affect the availability and price of eggs.

amusing, as if we did not know anything about a subject that has been discussed on DU any number of times. Most of the thread has been like threads on gas prices, people simply reporting on prices in their areas, pointing out, in some cases, the widely varying prices at different chains in the same area.

Records from the USDA show that 20 million egg-laying chickens died in the last quarter of 2024, and that taxpayers subsidized chicken farmers to the tune of over 1.25 billion dollars for their losses since the latest outbreak started in 2022.

eggs from 7.50 to 10, with the better eggs even higher. She walked away from them.

Eggcellent price.
