Summary
Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.
The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
Sucks for Americans. I got a dozen extra extra large eggs in Canada for 5$ Canadian…
But let’s be honest. 5$ for a dozen eggs is fucking nuts too. They were so much fucking cheaper not all that long ago
Correct. But the eggs I bought were extra-extra-large. If I wanted to get just large or medium I would have paid around 4 or less.
… I still remember when eggs were .89 for a dozen. Those were the days.
$5CAD is aboutt $3.50 USD. For jumbo eggs, i would call that aboit right. These are way larger than the “large” eggs most people are used to
I remember, not all that long ago, they were so much cheaper.
I managed to find a dozen for $4.97 yesterday. It’s the best I’ve been able to find in some time.
For those living close to Canada, I wonder if they can cross the border to go grocery shopping.
Nonono. Remeber to declare when passing into to the Reich to get that 25% added.
i don’t have egg prices in my area. the grocery store simply removed the egg section
