What the heck happened to the price of eggs?  Tjey have gotten so expensive here in So. Cal.  Even Aldi which used to be very affordable is now $3.48 a dozen.  Are prices high where you are?

I've been paying in that price range for the last year at my local WV  IGA store; for large or jumbo eggs.

I just checked my local store in MD.  $2.99-$7.99 depending on whether you want "regular" or organic cage free.

The generic brand where I shop is $3.50 for a dozen large.  At least twice as much for name brands, cage free, veg fed, etc.

I'm fortunate to have five major grocery stores in my area. So eggs are usually on sale around here. I pay between $1.99 for a dozen eggs and $2.77 for the eighteen count of large eggs.

At this time of year I am buying large, farm fresh brown eggs from a small farm just up the road: $3.50/dozen.

Will reluctantly return to buying eggs at Aldi in a few months.

Multiple outbreaks of avian influenza or bird flu causing large flocks having to be euthanized.  Chicken prices are likely to go up too.

SW Missouri...$2.50 a dozen at Walmart

I always have hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator because DH likes them. He has them for a snack once in a while.

 I just got a notice yesterday about our local 4H fair. The kids specializing in poultry will be there to answer questions, but there will be no poultry. This avian flu is pretty bad.

$3.48 sounds like a better price than what I'm seeing in the stores: $4.99/dozen
