organic doesn’t mean cruelty free fyi. Caged hens can be labeled organic. Do your research into the suppliers the company uses..Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Avian flu, supply chain issues.
Some of it is localized due to specific regulations as well. ABC re: California:
“California's cage free laws implemented on Jan. 1, 2022 also contributed to especially high prices in the Golden State.
AB1437 required all eggs sold in the state come from hens living in cage-free barns. This in turn resulted in a smaller pool of sellers CA grocers can purchase eggs from, in turn driving prices up.
"You're buying from a smaller range of options in terms of where you can buy eggs from to be able to meet the regulatory conditions that are required.””
MA too. Fewer suppliers because they can only sell cage-free eggs. We pay $5.49/dozen for the house brand at my local Stop and Shop (aka Giant). Organic is at least $8.

The increased in egg price isn’t new. It's been on the rise for awhile. Not sure why everyone is surprised. There's been a lot of news coverage on this
The avian flu affected the turkey population too. It barely missed the huge Thanksgiving demand .
Fwiw, Costco has 2 dozen for $6.

Agreed. Still a cheap source of animal protein.

Thanks for the misogyny
I don't drink coffee. But everyone in my family eats eggs daily.

It’s cruel and not worth $3 a dozen to supper that suffering. At $6 a dozen that’s still only 50c per egg. DD and I both gave one for breakfast most mornings, she has hers on a mini bagel with fruit and I have mine with spinach/cheese. That’s still a really cheap breakfast.
I agree that it is a cheap breakfast. However, I can't afford to buy items that double in price so quickly. It is not sustainable for my budget. I wish I could afford organic free range.
