Have you seen the egg prices lately...? ;-)
- jacekm 2y agoI am curious how much they are in your country? In Poland one egg costs about $0.30
- buildsjets 2y agoAbout $0.60 currently in the USA, which is quadruple what they were at this time last year. Supposedly this is mostly because many egg suppliers had to cull their flocks due to the current H5N1 bird flu. But there is also concern that egg prices have been rising in general in the long term due to industry consolidation and monopolization. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/business/egg-prices-bird-flu-producers.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/business/egg-prices-bird-...
- 1024core 2y ago> About $0.60 currently in the USA, ... IF you can find them in a store. Our local Trader Joe's (a grocery store) in SF has been out of eggs for a while.
- grogenaut 2y agoNo shortage in Seattle. About $8/dozen which is about double normal.
- sgt 2y agoAbout USD 1.50 per dozen here in South Africa.
- buildsjets 2y agoI would not consider Trader Joe's to be a grocery store.
- markdown 2y agoUSD$0.30 to $0.40 per egg in Fiji.
- sgt 2y agoWhy so expensive in Fiji? I mean it's not that expensive, but more than I'd expect from Fiji, where I can imagine chickens and pigs are running around everywhere between the straw huts and palm trees.
- markdown 2y agoOur producers don't have the economies of scale that yours do. Also, our chickens refuse to stay in their cages and lay eggs, preferring to spend all their time lying around on hammocks under coconut trees sipping pina coladas.
- bregma 2y agoOne dozen is about CAD 3.00 just north of the US border. So I guess about $0.20 USD each.
- fifticon 2y agoanyway, the new political administration is bound to solve the problem with costly eggs any minute now, and the soaring egg prices were without a doubt caused by the previous administration :-)
