Staple foods tend to rise in price by leaps rather than gradually. I think that stores accept a low profit margin on them at some times because of their disproportionate effect on the store's reputation for cheapness. We were probably about due for a leap in egg prices anyway, and the recent production difficulties provided an excuse. Now egg prices can come down slightly and be seen as a relief.

How come one of the highest taxed countries can have lower price per egg than the land of the free and brave? We haven't invented a special recipe for making eggs. It's probably exactly the same as in US, probably even more expensive since you do everything by massive scale.
