Well, they’re obviously normal price now, since it was all Bidens fault, and had nothing to do with poultry diseases.
Trump won’t let a little poultry disease be a bother. Hell he basically ignored an entire pandemic.
Not here, just saw them at 8.99 and limited to 2 per customer last night. Medium free range eggs were 2.99. Large eggs were $2-3 a few weeks ago.
Well this was definitely an entirely US problem and didn’t affect any other countries. Eggs are totally a normal price and easily available here in Australia.
strange that it only effects chickens and no other birds hmmm

It’s 3.39€ for 10 (medium?) organic/free-range eggs in Germany… Or $4.26 converted to dollar a dozen (including taxes).
Around £3 in the UK. Sounds about right.
Edit:
The above is free range. Caged eggs are cheaper, £2.15 for 15 eggs in Asda.
Rewe in central Germany got free range for 2.69€.
I’ll just note that !AskUSA is a thing. That said holy fuck eggs are expensive in America. I buy those for two bucks.
I got a 404 error with Boost (the app) with your link. Is it this one? !AskUSA@discuss.online
I didn’t actually link it so thanks. Yeah that’s the one.
It is!
This is a post right now because prices have (hopefully) temporarily spiked. My grocery store had a sign apologizing, blaming avian flu+high demand, and promising to keep their process competitive. I think 2 bucks is normal for us too but right now they’re over $5.
That makes sense.
$7.42 from Walmart, $10.65 for the ones I get (Vital Farms). This is from Colorado, USA.
Can confirm these prices
4,20 CAD so around 3 usd. EDIT: Hey the US part wasn’t there when I replied! Was it?
The US part was added at a later point in time.
Does Lemmy let you see what exactly was edited? Big issue over on Reddit when people sneak in an edit that changes things substantially. Not like OP is being malicious, but others can be.
I don’t think so, at least for regular users.
$6.50/dozen for the regular eggs. Surprisingly, only $10/dozen for free range 18pack. This is in Idaho at Albertsons (not the cheapest but not a high end grocery store)
$8 Canadian for a dozen fully free range chicken eggs from the farmer that raises them at a farmers market.
Between 4.67 (cheapo plain large white) and 10.02 (Golden D Large Hyperorganic) for a dozen near Vancouver.
Costco’s free range 24 pack is 12.49 which I think is probably what most people are getting.
Also, all prices are CAD.
$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.
$2 for 12 eggs from a friend’s chickens.
One month ago: ~$3.29
Yesterday ~$5.49
For 18 eggs: ~$7.19
They only have grade A eggs that come in the fancy compressed paper boxes so that’s what I normally get. Though eggs have been getting harder and harder to find since they’ve been struggling to restock them.
$6.99 if i want local, $4.29 for store brand, $8.79 for Nellie’s Free Range.
I was curious and checked while shopping today. There weren’t any, just a bare shelf.
As of this moment: $5.49 for 12 large brown.
Last week I was able to get $4.49 for 12 large cage free.
Bird flu is obviously influencing prices quite a bit lately.
I know you said USA, but maybe an interesting data point: €2.28 or $2.38 in Catalonia, Spain.
39kr~=$3.54 for a dozen in Sweden.
5 ish dollars for a dozen. I’m not sure exactly, a family member has employee discount.
Aldi (usually the cheapest near me) SoCal Saturday January 25, 2025
39.55 for sixty eggs 7.92 for twelve
Just paid 3.99 at Aldi in Philadelphia. Limit 2
Holy fuck, that’s about 3x what free range eggs cost in Vancouver.
When I first arrived in the usa from the uk, I was expecting crazy prices for eggs. It was less than 6$ for a dozen at target
It may have a large part to do with where in the UK you were coming from, and where in the US you wound up, in fairness. Bog-standard eggs are $8/dozen just outside a major metro on the East Coast, while less than half that for posters in other regions. Last week, I was in Manchester, and a 15-pack of eggs at the Lidl on Piccadily Gardens was about £3 or so, which would probably make $8/dozen seem pretty crazy in comparison. I think the lowest I saw while there, further from the city center, was £2.15 for 15 eggs.
Did you have to refrigerate them in the UK?
Not usually. iirc america washes the eggs and removes a protective layer, but the uk doesn’t?
Correct
