a thread to track the “promise” of the current regime in the US to “lower the price of eggs”.

Publix here in Key Largo is currently charging $6.83usd. not special egges, like free range or organic.
that is exactly $3usd up from one month ago. as of 11 February, 2025.
unfortunately, the feral chickens are of no use. they hide their nests very well. it is a treasure trove when we do find a nest!
what are y’all throwing down for a doz?

Storebrand large grade A are $5.68.
Sunup brand is $4.86. never heard of that brand
Edit to add: this is near Austin, Texas
Not sure how that compares to a few months ago. I don’t do the grocery shopping most weeks.

Currently I trade with a coworker. A jar of my salsa for a dozen of her chicken eggs.
I am running out of salsa though. May have to switch to cider

my hot sauces command what was a higher price - tuna and lobster - but now may get me a half dozen heuvos.

A grain of sand no eye has seen, two flowers cut at night, three garden snakes laid head to feet, and a memory of love’s first sight (cage-free, large). Or $5.95 if I drive all the way to ALDI.

Last Saturday, I paid $4.79 for a dozen large organic eggs at Wegmans in Wilmington, DE. At that time, I don’t think they had a limit.

Not sure about today’s price but Trader Joe’s is limiting purchases to just one dozen eggs per day, nationwide.

This is one of the few issues I’m not directly blaming Trump for, yet. This is mostly just a result of farmers and the FDA trying to keep the spread of bird flu under control and obviously Trump lied about his ability to fix the issue but I kinda hope that he doesn’t even try. Because the sort of “solution” that he’d probably try is to ban farmers from culling infected flocks or just stopping testing for the virus, and that would be terrible for everyone.

Costco North Alabama: $8.49 for 2 dozen, limit 3 ($4.25/doz). They marked the organic eggs down to the price of their regular eggs because they’re out of regular.

Suburban ATL here… $10 for a dozen organic, and $7.50 for free range for a dozen:
Regular eggs, for 18, $7.40, but that was discounted eggs that were probably about the pulled:
At a Kroger…
At the local farmer’s market, the last time I was there, they had very few eggs (since they get direct from farmers).

The price here ranges from $5/dozen to $9/dozen. We ended up buying a pack of 2 doz for $9 since we’ve planned some baking.

My local TJs hasn’t had eggs (at least by the time I get there) for weeks now. We’ll see if this limit changes that… I suspect not. Costco is also apparently instituting a purchase limit as well.

Just checked prices at the grocery store in the town next door. Almost all cartons of one dozen large eggs were $7.99. There were two outliers, $7.77 and $11.47. The less expensive eggs were WIC approved (if those run out can WIC be used to purchase more expensive eggs?) and the more expensive were organic. Still no limits on number of cartons purchased, or requirement for a signed loyalty pledge to the fascist regime.

Depends. In Texas, the eggs can be any brand but not pasture raised or free range. Might be different where you are, since those eggs apparently had the WIC designation. In Texas, other things are brand and product specific. Caused a huge mess during the formula shortage. Special exceptions had to be approved.
WIC is really useful for some families. But it is also stupid complicated. Should just give the families money

YES. Let families spend it where it’s needed. How much money is spent trying to figure out and track what it can/can’t be spent on?

Way way way too much. It’s incredibly wasteful on all levels.
