Eggs down to $2.50 a dozen in US

that's good news. They tend not to sell in Dozens here.. instead it's 6 or most often 10.... but occasionally 15.. I have no idea why lol

Today I bought eggs because again there's another report of Bird flu ..so there maybe a shortage again soon...

I just got normal medium eggs.. pack of 12... £3.15p... I really wanted Duck eggs which are about 50 % more costly than hens eggs but they didn't have any...

£3.15 = $4.27 US.... for a doz medium eggs
 
"In June 2025, the price of eggs in Florida is expected to be around $3.90 per dozen in the second quarter. This price is lower than the peak of $6.55 in March 2025. The USDA predicts egg prices will decrease to $2.90 per dozen in the third quarter."
This is the recent information I could find for Florida.
We buy egg beaters in a quart. It used to be $5.23, today it is $8.95. I hope those prices will come down as well!
 
There are a lot of big chicken farms in our area. For months, it was rare to see a truckload of chickens heading for a nearby processing plant. However in the past month, those trucks are on the roads again, so the chicken farms seem to be recovering. A short stop at the local grocery store today showed the price of a dozen eggs at $2.80....a lot lower than the $6/dozen we saw a few months ago.
 
I guess it depends on how healthy your local chickens are where you live. In N.East Pennsylvania, there hasn't been a shortage. And the price does fluctuate, but nothing like other areas. I bought 12 'extra large' eggs for $2.57.
There was only one time, when a TV news report ran a story about the egg shortage and the next day hoarders bought out the entire egg case.
 
It partly depends on what brand of eggs. I like Eggland's Best, which admittedly are a dollar or two higher than the store brand. But they are really delicious, and I like the packaging. There's never a broken or cracked egg. So I'm willing to pay $4-$5 for a dozen of that quality.
 
We seem to lurch from one catastrophe to another but we always make it through.

This week the local Tops friendly market is offering large eggs at forty nine cents a dozen.

An amazing deal so close to Easter. 🐣
 
The lowest with sales, discounters etc I've seen-Jumbos $1.99/dozen, XLs 1.85 to 2.30 and cage free/brown eggs $2.50, add a dollar or two for supermarket chains with no sale.
 
I can only get to one grocery store in person. Went there today. Store-brand eggs- large- were $1.99 per dozen; I bought two dozen.

Whenever I can get there I always buy store-brand, as they're from 'family farms' so less likely to be affected by bird flu, etc.
