Egg prices near you?

[Huskee]

I have recently reignited my love of omelettes, and we blasted through the last of our eggs so I went to the store yesterday. I purposely didn't even look at the egg prices at the main grocery store I went to, a mom & pop place. I stopped at Dollar General for the eggs, because they had always been the cheapest place to get eggs.

$6.95/dozen. Insane. I did a double take, I thought maybe the price tag on the cooler door was for something else. Eggs have always been $.99-1.99/doz.

What are your egg prices? And, if they're absurdly expensive does this affect you buying them, or do you buy them anyway because you gotta have 'em?

I pay 6 dollars 40 cents for 30 eggs (which is the standard batch size in Sweden). This is from a chicken farm, so we know the eggs are top notch.

[Huskee]

Is that the USD equivalent? If so that's pretty darn good, nearly 1/3 the price as here right now.

[Henrik]

Yes, I converted 70 SEK to USD. And yes, it's a good price in Sweden too :-)

[SheilaAnn]

That’s unheard of here!

[Purc]

$3.97/dozen at Walmart Neighborhood Market, Hurst Texas.

I'll check, but I suspect similar here. Most of our eggs come from the farm.

[Prof Bunky]

They're a little less than that at Aldi.

I get farm eggs at my co-op. Open flats of 20 eggs, $11 for white, $13 for brown. Yeah, I know, eggs are eggs, but I alternate buying white/brown so I know which are oldest in the fridge. Occ he has the blue/green ones (?Arauncana or something like that) but they apparently bring a better price at the farmer's markets. I take my own container in, so leave the cardboard flat for the farmer. I like what we called, as a kid, "country eggs", but I know lots of "country kids" that do not. So, I'm happy. Lot of the eggs, especially the brown ones, are double yolks. I know egg prices have become a political issue, but for heaven's sake, BIRD FLU is the issue. I like knowing where my eggs come from. So.

Smart on the color swapping. Hard to beat farm fresh. We used to buy them from friends but now they're keeping more and selling less.

The Giant by me now sells organic, free range large eggs for $4.59/dozen.

[smokenoob]

My orders were to bring organic eggs. Admiral thinks yard birds are catching a cold of some sort.
$8.49/doz

Don't know off the top of my head but they have definitely gone up. I think Colorado pass a no cage law, so that will help the price increases. Our neighbors property has a chicken coop, maybe I should pay a visit.

HEB store brand eggs are $3.97 a dozen for large. I always buy the cheapest eggs as well. I don’t need them fancy schmancy farm raised brown, blue or purple eggs. These taste just fine to me. Same price at my local Walmart. Extra large at Walmart are $4.47 a dozen.

[surfdog]

I noticed that you left out green eggs…
Now those are worth the extra cost.

[OC Sandy]

From Costco in So. California. As of this morning.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Costco is in the middle of a massive recall, just make sure ya look into that if you already have some of those in the fridge

[tstalafuse]

It is only the Signature Organic 2dz pkg sold in Georgia/Alabama/NC/SC/Tenn... We buy the 5dz pkg, and I think that is the same price

[Jfrosty27]

Large are about $4/dz at the grocery store. That’s up for sure.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Wally world brand, 12 large for 3.97. Egglands best 3.68 and at the farmers market 6.00 a dozen.

[LA Pork Butt]

Ours are up in price. They used to be cheap, but now are going for $3.50 to $4.00 a dozen.

[CandySueQ]

I have a friend with chickens. So, I can usually have all I want if I bring back empty cartons!

[shify]

Large cage free eggs at Whole Foods here in NY are $4 per dozen and add another $1/dozen for organic Organic name brand eggs like Pete and Gerry are like $6-7 per dozen

[tstalafuse]

We buy the Costco 5dz pkg that equates to $2.47/dz.
