    I get that, but eggs aren’t a commodity yet non factory farmed egg prices are also soaring.

    This. Is. Greed.

      I’ve been paying the same price for local free-range eggs for four years.

      But yes, the egg cartels and large grocery stores are fixing the prices too. Better to not buy from folks like that rather than supporting their oligopoly.
