Yes, "Easter egg hunts" will take on a whole new meaning

this year.

I don't think it has to do with a shortage. It has to do with how expensive eggs have become.

@lgfan. Eggs are expensive because millions of hens have been euthanized due to bird flu. Yes, this made them expensive. This happens when demand exceeds supply. Basic economics.

My Trader Joe's still has large eggs for $3.49, as opposed to $6-$13 in the other markets. But the problem is that they are only receiving a portion of what they usually get to sell. They get two deliveries a day, and if you want to snag the affordable eggs you have to be there within the first half hour of them being put out. I lucked out the other day and felt like I won the lottery!

@Mz iMac

baltimore area here.....

i have been buying them from sams club and they have a limit as to how many eggs you can buy. not even sure what the time frame is, but i buy them online to be delivered and i get an error message that i have already reached my limit.

in the grocery stores i shop in there are a lot of empty shelves where eggs usually reside. i love buying jumbo eggs, but they are often not there and when they are, they are $9+ a dozen.

In Michigan eggs have gotten expensive — 6.99 or higher/dozen. It may be due to the state going cage free. It’s crazy!

@akaburtonfan

Here in SoCal I've seen them for as much as $13.99. Now, that's a shocker!

Did you hear on the news last week that a large amount of eggs were stolen ... something crazy ... like $100k worth.

I was wondering how they'd get rid of them .... sell them to people from the back of their trunk? lol

I have seen THIS STYLE lately in clothing stores:

Probably "handy" for those egg hunts...

Actually, I wondered when that type of thing would happen--- where I live, some dirtbag stole 560 eggs from a local cafe during the night----fortunately the owner got notified and got down there to stop this jerk from stealing more--he took the eggs and some meats and even egg substitute--there was even bottles of champagne but they were left alone. But it was all caught on video.
