37c each today. So about $0.81 (including tax) for two eggs

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.

No state income tax in TN.

None here in Florida, either.

Been on the hunt for eggs since Monday- one of the local Costco’s still had some today when I stopped in.

Price has been $5.99/2 dozen for quite awhile, but has bumped up to $7.99

$5.99 for 1.5 dozen at Costco here yesterday afternoon and only a few cases available.

Just read a news article that stated egg prices are expected to rise 20% in 2025.

No link available, I'm on my phone.

Link added.

I paid almost 6 bucks for a dozen large .

This morning at the north Liberty, MO Price Chopper which is a higher end grocery store I seldom shop at, their store brand cage free brown eggs were $3.56/dz for large eggs. Walmart great value/best choice large were $4.17/dz. When they were available last week Price Chopper had Egg-land’s Best for $4.56 per 18. Their eggs shelves were stocked full of all varieties from medium, large, xl and jumbo eggs. I’ve noticed Egg-land’s Best brand haven’t price hiked as other brands have.

I do most of my shopping in Liberty, MO and most stores there are selling lg eggs anywhere from $3.56 to 6.99 a dozen for non-organic. Most stores egg shelves are full midweek in the morning when I’m there. But by the weekend the eggs are emptied out and not restocked until Tue-Wed.

I haven’t heard any news reports of bird flu at local producers in the Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas or Missouri area.

I just seen the local Kroger ad they have 18 count large for $3.99

The Egglands Best seem to be holding their prices here as well. At BJs, $15 for 3dz extra large store brand eggs or $15 for 4dz large Egglands Best. The store brand were $7.50 and the Egglands Best price hasn’t changed.

I read that over 100 million egg laying birds were ordered to be culled by the previous administration in the past few months.

It’s going to be a while until prices ever return to “normal” and then the new normal will be double the old price.

There are a few small egg sellers around here, maybe two or three dozen eggs for sale daily. They generally go for $5.00 / dozen.

$7.00 , but they were extra large

This is at Aldis in St Louis MO:

They’ve been out of them, completely, for 2 weeks now at my Costco. I asked one of the workers WTF. She said I’d have to be there in the morning when they first open. They are gone 30 minutes to 1 hour after they open, every day. I asked WTF is going on. Another worker said “bird flu”. I then asked if people were hoarding them like toilet paper during the pandemic and I got yes nods from both of them. Eggs are not toilet paper that you can just store. 3 weeks or so before they need to be tossed. I wonder what the hoarders are going to do when the smell hits from hoarding. Expired eggs are one of the nastiest things I’ve ever smelled.

Big meh. They still have egg whites, liquid version. I can use those for 6 months or a year and be fine. This hoarding bullshit these mother fuckers do is infuriating.

It’s likely it’s restaurant owners swooping in and grabbing all the eggs they can find at opening time at Costco rather than people panic buying or hoarding. Their suppliers probably can’t get them enough themselves or have jacked up their prices too much for them.

Those Eggland's Best are a steal when you find them, though. I've resorted to baking more things that don't require a ton of eggs.

You and me both, sir.

Twas a different time, a simpler time, and a better time. I'm no fan of what we're living through now.

We stopped buying eggs from Costco months ago; the price was going up past the point of buying them there, and also lack of supply. But every single supermarket we shop at, including Krogers, H.E.B, Central Market, Tom Thumb, keep on hand a good supply of eggs at various prices. Right now, we buy Eggland for $5.29 per 18 carton at Kroger.

Nah. I’m friends with a guy that works there so I get the intel. Small restaurants are a factor sure. But plenty of people are hoarding them. They do this bullshit when we get freezing temps for a whopping 3 or 4 days. Bread, milk, eggs, paper products, especially TP, plastic water bottle packages, all gone from the shelves. We’ve had gasoline supply issues where the news says 5 days. People are in 2+ hour lines at the gas stations filling up their CUV’s, then breaking out 4-5 5gal gas containers, filling those up as well. Then the gas companies have semis trucking it in from surrounding states and the whole situation lasts 3 days at best. They panic over anything and hoard. The gas situation was hilarious. I was reminded of the Humungus in Road Warrior “Give me the gas, and the horror will go away”. LMAO. This time I’m laughing as well. Rotten eggs stinking up their entire fridge and trashcan. People are just fucking stupid. My friend that works at Costco. Last month when we had the 3-4 days of freezing temps. He didn’t have TP so he told me he had to go to the district warehouse where all the Costcos in our metro depot. He had to go real early in the AM and drive across the metroplex to get Toilet Paper. All because of the hoarding. This is becoming frequent with anything. Oh the horror, we might have to go without something for some trivial amount of time. Our society is littered with a bunch of pussies.
