They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.

Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it's 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.

Meanwhile in sweden its $3.50 for 12 pieces cage free and if you get cheap ones its $4 for 24 pieces.

Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?

Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..

Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.

No taxes on food here, although Amazon Fresh has a delivery charge.

I imagine the huge disparity of prices is that culling due to bird flu must be regional and our chickens must not be infected yet

I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...

Hate to be that person, but now that they know people are willing to pay it- it’s probably not going to ever go back down.

Today, I paid $7.79 for a dozen, extra large, white, store brand eggs here in New Jersey.

What's the thing with eggs in the US ?

But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!

Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.

Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.

As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that's if they aren't sold out due to the shortage.

$4-6/doz in NC.

Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.

It'll be even more soon...
