I went shopping not long ago and went to Walmart,I know,I know. Anyway, the price of an 18 pack of large Wally World eggs was listed at $6.79 and a dozen of the exact same eggs was $3.16. I know egg prices are going up but this is insane. Are the prices like this in all areas?

So two dozen (24) eggs were cheaper than 1 1/2 dozen (18) eggs...It always pays to consider the unit price!

This is why I have egg hens...

Same eggs at Walmart here in ND, $5.57/12, $8.23/18

That is insane for the price of those eggs.

We usually buy the 18pk brown cage free eggs at the Walmart Neighborhood store. I could care less about cage free but they taste better. Looking back at receipts, Mar 24 they were $4.26 for the 18pk. Oct 27 they were $5.84. Friday they rang up at $7.52.

Sign at my local grocery store said something about shortages due to a disease (avian flu?)

The interesting thing for me is commodity foods are getting so close in price to organic stuff I’m buying better food. I buy organic free range eggs and chicken.

And yes, bulk pricing isn’t always better.

Avian flu?

Cheapest eggs available locally are 18 for $9.79

Grocery in N. Berks,PA running ~$5.50/dz for extra large.
A dollar at the farmers market bu still double from a few months ago.

Eggs have approximately tripled in price since FJB slithered his way into the White House.

If people could find an alternative and not pay those prices, retailers would get tired of trashing expired food and prices would come down. I know, we all love eggs but if I had to I could go awhile without them for awhile and my cardio dr would probably be happy.

I am paying between $1.69 and $1.99 a dozen for mixed eggs getting close to the best by date (which really does not mean a whole lot in the end) ... for brown eggs and "Eggs Best" brand.

Buy 6 to 12 dozen at a time and eat within 4 to 6 weeks after the best by date ( usually within 4 weeks or less ).

Being a farm boy ... understand how long eggs really last and why. We are good to go here.

I live north of KC about an hour but I shop in Liberty and KCMO, I buy the Walmart generic eggs XL-18 pack and last week they were $6.97. Before Christmas they were $4.97

Have you noticed what they call large eggs are about the size of the old and phased out Medium? Also the jumbo are about the size of what the large used to be?

I have noticed both a drastic increase in egg prices and egg size changes. In fact, as to the latter, I got in an impromptu discussion with an older lady a few months back that commented on the exact same thing. Extra large eggs are what large used to be and large are anything but.

Eggs have shot up in Virginia too. But looking around the grocery a lot else has too.

Extra large grade A $4.99 yesterday.

Been going on for a month or more, caused by bird flu. Seems to be slowly getting better.

Prices have tripled here over five weeks.
