they said "avian flu." I went to Whole Foods and found a whole wall of eggs on the shelves, and bought the cheapest dozen at $3.49. TJ must be having a supply chain problem.

(I'm in Massachusetts; I hadn't noticed this was in the CA group)

Whole Foods is usually twice what Trader Joe's prices are.

And when one bird gets it, the whole flock is culled. In Phoenix I’m seeing them around $5 a dozen, $8.50 for 18, and most of the “brand name” eggs are out of stock.

for a good price.

So does my local farmer!

My hens won't lay no more!

I paid damn near $5 for a dozen today at Giant. Those were the cheapest ones on the shelf- regular old large white. Normally when I have to grab some at the grocery store, I get the free range brown ones. Next week I’m definitely going back to my coworker’s mother in law’s. She charges $5 for a dozen from her hens, I just didn’t have time to go by there today.

she has a refrig outside with 20 dozens in them!

Wish I could ship them to those having issues finding them. Many near us have chickens - we are lucky that eggs are plentiful!

Kroger used to have a digital coupon for a dozen free eggs.

Now almost four bucks for a dozen large regular.

I pay, $4.59 up .60, but they are good. Bet there is someone near you doing same thing.
Found $3.00 in Maine last summer on side road.
Sometimes worth a trip to those spots.
I'm in TPA.

I have noticed large eggs aren't really large, they are more medium. Once a month I get mailed grocery coupons and get 3.00 off on any dozen of land of lakes. In 18-24 weeks the supply should stabilize if they have new uninfected chicks. Its been happening here too

$1.99 for a dozen eggs at Kroger's this week. Actually found a pound of butter for $3.49 instead of $4.69.

in Central Iowa. Up maybe 50c. The eggs that have really gone up are the cheap eggs at Aldi that used to be 88c and are now much higher. My mother buys those.

No real shortage despite the avian flu.

I love eggs in all forms, just as long as the whites are firm.

Interesting ideas. Looks like the kind of things I'd try. Best of all, eat fewer and the market will drop the prices.

Interesting.

A couple of years ago, they used to use low-priced eggs as a loss leader to lure shoppers to the grocery section.
