With all the hubbub about the price of eggs, what's yours?
$5.29 for a dozen 'Large Grade A' in-house store brand, marked Cage Free and Certified Humane.

Did the grocery shopping Wed Jan 29. (I live in a western Detroit suburb.) My wife and I have shopped at this same store for 20+ years. Local TV news claimed that there is a shortage of supply in our area. The refrigerated case at my store was FULL of egg cartons. No shortage of eggs at my store on that day.


Best regards,

Went to my local Publix last night and there was not a single egg in the place. Supply has been off and on for the past few weeks.

I didn't look at prices, but the egg section of my nearest HEB [Market Street in the The Woodlands, for the N Houston folks] was mighty bare last night when I ran in to get a few things.

Seeing the same thing at my HEB.

This is looking like toilet paper all over again. The media and social media are creating panic, not much product on store shelves, stores are implementing purchase limits, prices are increasing. I acknowledge that a lot of chickens have been killed and hens produce less eggs in the winter, but other than media and social media coverage nothing substantive has occurred in the last 2 weeks.

^ Yours is my usual, or 242, but in a pinch, Market St is the closest.

Sunday, when we do our typical grocery run, didn't notice any shortage on the shelves, seems to have ramped up through the week.

Price is high...
But Aldi still had a good amount last I was there over the weekend.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

There were none at my grocery store today.

I may have to go over to Restaurant Depot and pick up about a dozen dozen eggs since that might be the only option for awhile.

Wife does an Aldi order now each Thursday and then one of goes and picks it up, very convenient with a busy family.

She told me this morning that eggs there are now $5 a dozen, they were like $4.50 last week.

$7.12 for 18 pack of Brown Cage Free @ Walmart yesterday. The eggs were very large & are the most tasteful I have found.

Food Lion usually has the best price on large eggs and are now $3.99 where as they were $2.26 about a month ago.

I just alternate between Steel Cut Oats and eggs. Steel Cut Oats with an apple, raisins, and raw peanuts from the Asian store cooked on a Waring induction cook top with a dash of honey after cooking. Smile

A few years ago when prices were lower I bought a decent supply of dehydrated powdered eggs and scrambled egg mix in the #10 metal cans. Those #10 cans now are headed up and will probably be close to $100-ish.

Free! Every 5 0r 6 weeks Krogers sends me a pack of about 14 coupons tailored to past purchases.
Almost always one for one dozen free, any size.
Still have one that expires Feb.2
Kroger's is the only Store card I have.

Paid $4.49 for a dozen large yesterday at the local Woodmans. The "usual" brand was $6.49 but they had some small independent producers brand for that.

3.99 for 12 organic large brown eggs. No supply issues. Was 2.99 a few weeks ago.

The highest priced eggs at Walmart were 64c each. That was for organic free range.

Regular Store brand cheaper ones we usually buy are 37c each today.

So about $0.81 (including tax) for two eggs for my breakfast.

I really don’t have a problem with that.



Endeavor to persevere.

If my maff is working correctly, that's 9.5% sales tax. WOW!

Sales tax here in Florida is 6% for the state, and anywhere from 0 to 1.5% add-on for local, but tax on groceries is zero, so those 37¢ eggs would be 37¢ out the door, here.
