Go figure the cheapest eggs in the country are in Ohio though lol
Re: Eggspensive
#4Looks like Washington, DC, St. Louis, and the area to the east of San Francisco are "red zones" for high egg prices for some reason.

I wonder if those regions have some kind of regulations that limit supply

#7This is cool! Whenever I see these kinds of apps though, I wonder where do you get the data? Is there a public API for all the grocery products in the US or something?

It’s a really neat visualization, but you can’t take the data to mean much. It’s only showing the price of store brand eggs at Wal-mart, and each store/region would have a pricing strategy that accounts for a ton of factors beyond supply cost (with or without regulation).
To know if eggs in general are more or less expensive in any region, or if people spend more/less on them, etc you’d need much more sophisticated data than one might compile for a hobby project like this.

It is for Walmarts only per the info page. There must be a way to scrape that from their online grocery shopping website even without an api.
