Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper. This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.

I’ve always bought the most expensive pasture raised free range cage free eggs at Whole Foods. If I recall they used to be around $10 per dozen. Been a while. Anyone know Is this still the case?

The free range eggs at Aldi in PA are ~$5.30/doz vs ~$6.50/doz for the normal eggs. Might be cheaper than normal.

I live in CA and saw a massive jump in prices when the state ordered chickens to be euthanized due to bird flu. It was also the first time I saw grocery store shelves completely empty of eggs for days at a time. Prices for organic eggs have somewhat returned to pre-bird flu levels but the regular sales and discounts have stopped. Non-organic eggs are still significantly higher.

My understanding is that free range law have recently gone into effect in CA. Were the organic eggs already free range? That would explain the price stability there and variation of the non organic.

Do you mean cage-free hen regulation? This statewide regulation has been in effect since 2022.

Seems like a great time to stop eating eggs.

First they came for the chickens and I said nothing because I was not a chicken... What's next, avocados!?

Perfect time to build chicken coop. Also eggs price is increasing globally witch is not good.

I built a chicken coop, mostly as a hobby, and the eggs were a bonus. the 1,000 in materials for the structure and 25 bucks a month in food and bedding make that amortization table go out a couple of decades before you see ROI.

I joke that they are the most expensive organic eggs you can buy. ;)

I'm in CA and TJ's was empty for months not too long ago.

I'm in NorthCal, they usually have some supply in the first few hours of opening

I don't find it funny at all.

I found it exactly in line with everything I know about right-wing politics.

Good luck finding any hardcore Biden fans. This is not the zinger you think it is.

Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.

Eggs store pretty poorly in the fridge because liquids transpire through the shell. Within a month your egg will be 20% air.

This is why we must freeze USDA funding, halt all public health communications from our federal government, and urgently (TOP PRIORITY!!!) scrub all mentions of the word "women" from every public-facing piece of scientific content we can find.

I hope they stop this cultural war and focus on the real problems that actually affects the population,for example, high prices.

Prices aren't high on anything except for housing.

No politician, either past present or future, will ever run on a platform of reducing housing prices.
