And the latest prices at your local fav, thr Dirty Bird

Hillendale $3.99

Egglands Best $5.49

Seems the prices are stalled and don't wanna go lower. I may have to write a letter to The President.

Latest report shows reduced egg production. Also, reduced wholesale prices... but we're still not where we need to be

Egg market report

The USDA’s Egg Markets Overview report issued Aug. 8, stated the wholesale prices for national trading of truck lot quantities of graded, loose, white large shell eggs decreased 46 cents to $2.46 per dozen. In the major Midwest production region, wholesale prices for large, white shell eggs delivered to warehouses decreased 9 cents to $3.50 per dozen with a weak overtone noted.

Shell egg demand continues to struggle into early August, as the report noted consumers have yet to fully adjust to current retail price levels and while grocers have been offering some relatively attractive price levels with advertising, the week-to-week consistency has been lacking leading to an “in-and-out” buying pattern by consumers. The report does expect demand to increase as a new school year approaches.

3.09 for Hillindale free range brown eggs at SnS this week.

I had to give up buying insulin for the next 12 months, and that was tough to do, but you have to prioritize the things like EGGS, that really matter in your life.

I'm just glad they were under 3.50, or I would have had to let my health insurance go for a year as well.

That's rough Devo. Gotta make those tough choices, though. Prioritize. Adapt.

$3.99 for the Hillandale Large White Grade A this week

$5.49 for Eggland's Best

Those Giant Eagle prices remain stubbornly high.

No, you don't say Giant Eagle prices are high??????

I really like to pay 19.00 a pound for a NY Strip and that was before the beef crisis.

Even the Dollar General, which you must near, has had eggs under four dollars a doz for weeks.

Gotta shop for those bargains.

GE is the largest regional grocery store. It makes more sense to use them to compare pricing than discount stores, big box, specialty grocers or convenience stores.

My comparison isn't about finding the highest or lowest prices. It's about the avg price of eggs for the avg consumer and using a consistent metric. GE allows that easily, as they carry nationally sources and regionally sourced eggs so we can compare those, too.

If you'd like to share the Aldi's price every week, have at my dude.

It's not about finding the cheapest eggs possible, either. It's about the price of the eggs we prefer to eat being higher now than it was a year ago.

I prefer organic, cage-free eggs. They taste *much* better, they're healthier for you, and healthier for the chickens who lay them.

Never paid more than $4.59 before JV started whining about the prices of everything (which they've still done nothing to address, btw). Those same eggs are $5.99 today.

trump et al. don't give a shit about egg prices. Never have. They just pretended to care in order to secure the angry moron vote.
