I couldn't believe that price, so I checked Aldi - $4.19 - I'm sure I paid less than half that at the beginning of the month?

i live "outside the bubble" and pay over $4.00/doz.

Winn Dixie has jumbo eggs....$7.41/doz ridiculous for sure

It appears that inflation is self-sustaining. Stores that sell eggs may have a legitimate reason to raise the price. But, if it is a known fact that the overall inflation rate is 8 percent, then anyone who sells anything can raise their prices by at least 8 percent for no reason at all. That is why inflation is so difficult to reduce.

The Farmers Market, but you have to get there early. Back home I have a lady up the road. I always bring a couple dz. back with me.

I ordered 1 doz. eggs through Kroger Delivery just this past week for $3.89 That was their cheapest as the price went over $4.00. Having own chicks might be an idea but it's not allowed here PLUS they tend to stink. Chicken and pig farms have that reputation. I would purchase from someone who does have eggs for sale as fresh are better than store-bought.

Do some research. Eggs are high in cost because of a spreading bird flu - killed egg laying hens. Solution for restaurants - don't serve eggs or meals that contain eggs. Worker shortage - pay employees a living wage. Otherwise, get out of the restaurant business.

I would tell you, but they would kick me off this site.

Same thing with the mini Walmart across from Publix on 466a. Got 6 eggs at Publix for $3.29 For real.

We have been spoiled by cheap egg prices in the past - a dozen eggs for $1.44 is 12c each!

The average large egg weighs around 2oz so a dozen weighs 24oz.

24oz of bacon in WalMart costs around $7.50 so almost double the cost per pound of eggs.

Then again, bacon is four times as tasty as eggs...
