Americans, what is actually the price of eggs right now?

had to go to three stores before we found one with eggs
- Capitalism is when no eggs
  
  I ended up at Whole Foods the other day because I didn't want to drive across town and capitalism is also when there's no organic milk. Seriously, they had zero fresh dairy products and signs about how hard it was to get organic dairy now of days, but no non-organic dairy cause that's povo filth.

In Colorado, surrounded by the same poultry farms that gave us the first human transmission case:
Affordable grocers have had no stock for much of the last six months or so. When you can find them in stock, it's about $5/dozen with a pre-bird flu price of around $3/dozen.
Luxury grocers have had no reasonably priced eggs in stock for the same length of time. There are sometimes one or two options for high-end eggs at $10-12/dozen. They also have cartons of liquefied whole eggs and egg whites.
Both ration eggs to 1-2 dozen per customer when they're in stock.
Chicken-focused restaurants are either going out of business, raising prices (a breakfast burrito went from $6 to $9 at my favourite taco truck), or limiting their egg usage with intermittent shortages. Barbecue is another cuisine that has been particularly impacted since those animals are fed chicken shit from the infected poultry farms. I think we've lost three or four local bakeries in the past six months.
- What makes an egg “high end”?
  
  They put a little stamp on the egg that says "Eggstra Good"
  
  The conditions the chickens are kept in. Normally you can buy factory farm eggs ($2-3/dozen), cage-free eggs ($3-6/dozen) where the chickens can still be kept indoors, or free-range eggs ($6-10/dozen) where the chickens get to forage in a pasture of some sort. The factory farm conditions are what causes such rapid transmission so the only farms left are the smaller ones.
  
  The yolk is orange and tastes 5x better
  
  high end eggs are eggs made specifically in colorado, where its a liberal communist wild wild west for marijuana laws. they inject the chickens with THC and the eggs come out infused with it. the liberals in colorado feed them to their kids and what does it do? makes them lazy hippies who keep voting democrat.

I get my eggs from a local farmer who charges $3 a dozen
He calls me Skip, but that's a fair trade in my book
- $3 for an official nickname isn't bad at all.
  
  It's not official, if you call me Skip I will cry, I swear to god
- Local eggs and a nickname? That's a win-win right there!

These prices are insane. Is it because of the bird flu?
- And price gouging
- Capital is unionized…porky wants more.
  Although part of me was hoping that with the friendly face of the gop in office, porky would be on his best behavior for at least a little bit.

5.40 a dozen, I've been using flax seed and garbanzo liquid eggs in baked goods since you usually can't tell anyway.
- Aquafaba my beloved.

Shaws/Albertsons has a dozen for 4.99 in new hampshire

Sorry, but I came into this thread to brag about being

Recently, I learned to simmer tofu in extremely salty water for 2 minutes to dry it out. Drip dry. Then toss it with cornstarch, oil, and black pepper. I put it in my toaster oven at 425 for 14 minutes on each side. Or just sauté it in a pan for a lil bit. Comes out crispy as hell. Then I toss it in a sauce made from green onion, garlic, ginger, oil, gochujang, xaoxing wine, Chinese black vinegar, Sichuan chili bean paste, and soy sauce. Then I add some cabbage for extra veggie goodness. And toasted sesame oil.
For breakfast, you could do a simpler sauce with just soy, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Or something western like pesto.
Anyway, tofu slaps, and you can get an organic brick of it with 70g of protein for like 3$
- I read that soy gives you increased estrogen so I've been eating it every day for a year and I still haven't grown breasts
  
  Keep trying sis!
  loves you
- I wish I had that much time in the morning. I'm a rice and kim chi kinda guy since it takes a third of the time.
  
  Thats more of a lunch/dinner recipe for me. You can make it easier by not making the tofu crispy and putting seasonings directly on them instead of making a sauce in a pan. There are tons of tofu scramble recipes out there that are decent.

Last night I saw 9.99 for the 'we treat the chickens slightly more humanely' version

I have no idea
(

Holy shit, I haven't bought eggs in about 6 months and had no idea it got this bad. Local farmers with small operations tend to sell for much cheaper than supermarket prices under normal conditions, it would be interesting to see what they're charging at farmers markets and roadside stands at the moment.
- I haven't bought any but I've seen them advertised at $7-8/dozen at various roadside stands
  
  Damn, even them too...

4.50 USD from the walmart near me checking online, I don't buy eggs so idk if that is out of the ordinary.
- Aldi used to have a dozen for .99
  
  It wasn’t long ago that Aldi had a dozen eggs for 46¢ in my area

The lowest price on the shelf where I work is $5 for a dozen. There are none of those though.
There are $6 and $8 dozens of the store brand. I think they're organic. The highest cost dozen is like $14 I think but they're the super organic bougie ones.
The store has been receiving less then a quarter of the eggs getting ordered too so the shelves get wiped out fast.

American Lite here, I'll check when I go to the store later, I'm curious how it compares to down south

in the Midwest. a bit more expensive than a year ago maybe, but not like what I'm seeing online.
Dems think they look like sassy geniuses for holding Trump responsible for egg prices, and not like total psychopaths for flipping 180 degrees overnight to suddenly claiming food prices matter and that the president is responsible for them

Couldn't tell you, I'm a vegan BTW. However, a large Hass Avacado in my area is $2.50 a piece which is preposterous
- I mean it is winter, I don't think they're in season

Saw a coupon for 4.⁹⁹ with super card (not pictured) but most are between 7-10 dollars

Canada, not far from the border
This is in Canadian dollars too. Someone good at the economy please explain
- For now it seems like Canadian egg supply hasn't been hit (or hit hard maybe? I'm not too sure) as that was also the price I saw when I went shopping yesterday. From looking up the currency exchange, 4.17 Canuck dollars = 2.90 Yankee dollars.
  
  cold weather might play a part, or migration patterns.

I've seen it fluctuate from 4-6 dollars for a dozen of the factory-farm shit. It's actually cheaper (for now) to go to local health-food store and get something off your local Amish farm or the like. Usually 4-5, or 7 on the super organic specialty stuff.
Kinda wish my sister still had her coop, but a fox got in or something and went DoomGuy on them.

$6.59 according to doordash at my store.

Over 9$ a dozen in my part of CA, at the grocer that sells them the cheapest (so these aren't particularly good eggs either). I'm very glad that I don't care for eggs much.

$7.50/dozen it's just dropped down a tiny bit.

It was 6 dollars a dozen at my local trader joes

I used to buy these at $11 a box. They used to be the best way to ride out the price jumps, but they've been up around 20 and above since summer sometime.

I live in Major Metropolitan City and eggs I’ve seen fully sold out for $7.99. At local subreddits I’m seeing $11.99 and such.
Granted Major Metropolitan City has a problem with price gouging already.

The store near me was at $9 for their store brand organic free range last week (which were the only ones in stock), but this week they’re at about $5 for the same.

god damn
eggs here are like £3 for a dozen
not even
- Yea lol

My in-laws said they paid $14 for a dozen last week.
My wife and I have stopped buying eggs at this point though. Between the bird flu ripping through our farms and the subsequent price increase caused by it, we just don’t think it’s worth it.

shit I forgot to look yesterday.
a week ago the entire egg area was wiped out. when I walked by yesterday all I noticed was that there were eggs on the shelves again.
the online listing for my local grocer says $5/doz for the junkfed industrial white leghorn style trash eggs. which, goddam.

$6.50 for 12, I live in a MCOL area

One country

Major grocery stores are selling eggs 4.69/dozen AA large eggs, 6.79 organic. Interestingly the "crunchy" super-market that mostly sources from local and/or organic farms is selling normal eggs for 3.99/dozen and organic for 4.99 and 5.99 depending on the brand. Before bird-flu the crunchy store would sell eggs 1-2 dollars more per dozen than major supermarkets. The price at the crunchy store has remained static since before bird-flu. I live in an area with a relatively large number of "small" farms independent from large ag companies.

A few euros I bet

Between $5-$9 a dozen depending on store. This is in NV

4.50 for a dozen at the place nearest to me

$6.75 per dozen here today

5/12 is the cheapest, but sometimes thats at bulk pricing so im spending 15/36. But I've seen the expensive premium eggs at 9/12.

$8/18

$6 for a dozen jumbo eggs

The cheapest i saw on my grocery stores website is 4.95 a dozen

~$17,532 using Maddow-adjusted computations.
Also - don't tell anybody - but if I lib wants to trigger me all they need to do is make an "egg prices" joke.

In Seattle yesterday at my neighborhood Kroger-owned grocery, a dozen cage-free eggs was $7.50.

I got groceries last week and noticed most of the eggs were around $8-12 a dozen. Before all the bird flu stuff, it was more like $3-5 for a dozen. Should note that the aisles have been looking pretty slim lately. Not a ton of stock available.
Getting to the point where vegan egg replacement is about the same price per volume which is good for me.

About $4/dozen in Kentucky.

Just post the in store prices and there will be an end to the horror!

My last dozen was $6. In CA, we are still recovering from a recent mass culling due to bird flu

Some clever entrepreneurs could make a killing right now by stealing wild bird eggs

I'm not sure, they're out-of-stock. The grocery store website claims $5.99 per dozen.

Went through a Walmart this weekend and my spouse remarked that the price for a dozen eggs was a bit above 6$ US.
