My wife and I started a vegan diet 6mo ago and while there was a transition period, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected. If you're feeling the egg prices I'd encourage you to find ways to limit or remove eggs from your diet. It's easier than you think! Egg replacers work wonders in baked goods and a tofu scramble is similar to scrambled eggs.

My midget of data is that the local cage-free eggs have remained the same price for 3+ years now, but the "regular supermarket eggs" are now more expensive than the local ones.
That's about right. Ever since I stopped raising chickens, I've been buying cage-free eggs. The price doesn't seem to have changed much over the last year and that is probably why they were selling out faster. I just bought groceries yesterday, and checking the Walmart I went to, this site was accurate at least for that location.

this is not true whole foods in LA shows $3.29 for a dozen eggs https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/365-by-whole-foods-...
Did you see them with your eyeballs at the store? You miss the point of the parent completely.

Depends on where you are. Shows "Currently unavailable." for me. Also, +$9.95 for delivery. Who knows if Amazon is willing to deliver to you because of that and empty the store shelves instead? So again, unless you see them with your eyeballs or get them at $3.79 all in in your hands, I am not sure what this means.
I was every bit as skeptical (and agree there's nothing particularly meaningful about a bargain on a product that's unavailable), half expecting the available eggs to cost $6-7 or more as they do just about everywhere I shop in California. (Which is not at high-end markets like Whole Foods, either — we're talking places like Grocery Outlet, Smart 'n Final, etc., that are just barely a step up from a 99¢ store.) On th…

Talk to people who raise chickens. Costs for everything from baby chicks to egg-laying hens have tripled pretty much country-wide. H5N1 has hit the US and Europe extremely hard this year and there seems to be no end in sight to this current outbreak.
Ok sure but eggs are still $3 something at whole foods
At the moment, eggs are probably a loss-leader for them and they're encouraged to still move on volume.
If you look at the data in this app as a whole, the stores with the highest egg prices are small chains with low buying-power.

The US government has extremely strong incentives to report inflation as low as possible, so it's likely less about "thinking" we're at negative and more that they pick and choose data to show it intentionally.
Do you have any evidence that the methods to calculate inflation have changed at any point in the Biden administration to show negative inflation right now or are you just heavily implying that it's probably happening without any such evidence?

Here in Australia they use the term "free-range" and additionally publish the number of animals per land area (density). There's some pretty vicious things being sold as "free-range". I think "cage-free" is a scam also. You want the hard numbers.
Of course free range eggs aren't totally safe either, there's been a few scandals where a company has just lied about the conditions of the chickens entirely and gotten away with it for a worrying amount of time.
