| I am not in the DMV area but I was at the store yesterday and went to pick up a carton of eggs. Nothing fancy, not organic. They were $5.98! When did this happen? How much is a carton of eggs near you? |

| I paid $4.99. Good time to go vegan. |

Avian flu has killed millions of birds.
OTOH farmers market eggs have been $6 for years |

| At least there are eggs. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s is limited my area to one carton of eggs. This is SoCal |

| I tried to avert my eyes yesterday when buying them. Price was somewhere between $5-6 at Target. Non-organic/free range/etc. Basic eggs. |

Good quality eggs have been $6/dozen for a very long time.

| I’m down to one dozen a week. I still force myself to buy pasture raised from a company I vetted but I’m getting close to removing this from out grocery list. |

Op here. Yes, I understand that. But these were the "basic" kind. Usually $2.98! |

What are good quality eggs? All eggs seem the same to me. |

| I noticed that regular eggs were $3.99 in Trader Joe's yesterday. I don't usually buy eggs there so can't say whether that price has gone up. We've been buying pasture-raised for $6 for years but we tend to only buy a dozen per week anyway. |

| I just bought an 18count of pricerite brand large eggs for 4.99 a dozen/7.49 for the 18. I had just been at Walmart and saw that the cheapest dozens were a little over $5. I get that there is a real supply reason for the price rises, but it's tough. Eggs have always been the cheap, reliable protein. I did buy a bag of egg replacer when prices started rising last year, so maybe I need to start using that in baking. |

Avian flu OP, it's killing lots of birds.
As the climate changes and get warmer, we will have lots more events like this one. |

It’s truly awesome we live in a time and place where this can be. |

| My chickens sometimes drive me crazy. But these days, I’m really glad we have them. They produce more than we can use. The food pantries won’t take them and I understand why. I’ve just been giving eggs to friends. I saw the prices at the grocery store last week. $6 for a dozen cage free. Yikes! |

| I live in north Florida. I made a walmart run three days ago. Bought 18 eggs for $6. I am pretty sure that when I bought 18 eggs the previous month it was $4. There were plenty of eggs available for purchase. |
