Trump won’t let a little poultry disease be a bother. Hell he basically ignored an entire pandemic.
USA Question | How much is a dozen large eggs near you?
2 years ago by SnausagesinaBlanket to c/nostupidquestions
Well this was definitely an entirely US problem and didn't affect any other countries. Eggs are totally a normal price and easily available here in Australia.
… twelve?
All the downvotes are from bakers

It's 3.39€ for 10 (medium?) organic/free-range eggs in Germany... Or $4.26 converted to dollar a dozen (including taxes).
Around £3 in the UK. Sounds about right.
Edit:
The above is free range. Caged eggs are cheaper, £2.15 for 15 eggs in Asda.
I'll just note that !AskUSA is a thing. That said holy fuck eggs are expensive in America. I buy those for two bucks.
I got a 404 error with Boost (the app) with your link. Is it this one? !AskUSA@discuss.online
I didn't actually link it so thanks. Yeah that's the one.
This is a post right now because prices have (hopefully) temporarily spiked. My grocery store had a sign apologizing, blaming avian flu+high demand, and promising to keep their process competitive. I think 2 bucks is normal for us too but right now they're over $5.
That makes sense.
Can confirm these prices
The US part was added at a later point in time.
Does Lemmy let you see what exactly was edited? Big issue over on Reddit when people sneak in an edit that changes things substantially. Not like OP is being malicious, but others can be.
I don't think so, at least for regular users.
Woah I thought the Euro was more. Did it drop in value compared to the dollar recently?
https://www.x-rates.com/graph/?from=USD&to=EUR&amount=1
There was a bit of an upswin for the dollar since nov 5... weirdly, not sure how that guy inspires confidence
One month ago: ~$3.29
Yesterday ~$5.49
For 18 eggs: ~$7.19
They only have grade A eggs that come in the fancy compressed paper boxes so that's what I normally get. Though eggs have been getting harder and harder to find since they've been struggling to restock them.
$8 Canadian for a dozen fully free range chicken eggs from the farmer that raises them at a farmers market.
Between 4.67 (cheapo plain large white) and 10.02 (Golden D Large Hyperorganic) for a dozen near Vancouver.
Costco's free range 24 pack is 12.49 which I think is probably what most people are getting.
Also, all prices are CAD.
$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.
$2 for 12 eggs from a friend's chickens.
5 ish dollars for a dozen. I'm not sure exactly, a family member has employee discount.
Just paid 3.99 at Aldi in Philadelphia. Limit 2
When I first arrived in the usa from the uk, I was expecting crazy prices for eggs. It was less than 6$ for a dozen at target
Did you have to refrigerate them in the UK?
Not usually. iirc america washes the eggs and removes a protective layer, but the uk doesn’t?
It may have a large part to do with where in the UK you were coming from, and where in the US you wound up, in fairness. Bog-standard eggs are $8/dozen just outside a major metro on the East Coast, while less than half that for posters in other regions. Last week, I was in Manchester, and a 15-pack of eggs at the Lidl on Piccadily Gardens was about £3 or so, which would probably make $8/dozen seem pretty crazy in comparison. I think the lowest I saw while there, further from the city center, was £2.15 for 15 eggs.
$5.59 for a dozen extra large cage free organic in the Midwest.
$5.75 - SW Michigan
$8.99 - a Safeway in the bay area
That would be 18kt silly.
That's just due to the gold flu!
US mid-Atlantic: Pricing is elevated, but strange; some eggs that are usually higher cost now cost less than the typically lower cost eggs. For example (all for dozen large eggs):
Store brand, conventional: $6.93
Store brand, cage free: $4.95
Store brand, organic free range: $4.59
Eggland's Best (premium brand): $4.99
$4.99 brown dozen large at sprouts [almost always sold out] $7.99 large at walmart
Usd$2.70 South of Mexico, farmers market
Cheapest is $5 dozen here the lower West side of Michigan
$6.49 from Giant near Philly today, and somehow still sold out. Severe inventory issues...
Also in N Seattle, also got some TJ’s eggs for $3.99 today! Hi neighbor!
$4.58 near Pittsburgh, PA
In Sjælland, Denmark: 3.7 USD if you buy nice, organic, local eggs. In Argentina, maybe 2USD. But they are not organic.
I know it says USA but thought would be interesting to see the prices around the world.
UK, Asda, 12 Medium Free Range Eggs costs £2.70 or $3.37.
Edit: I could find cheaper that are not “free range”.
What state?
Cheapest I found just now. Just under $5. Pennsylvania.
So, we've got a range.
The cheapest set of generic eggs is the Penny Smart Grade A Large Eggs for $3.99, but my local grocery also has another set of eggs that appears to be equivalent in quality from the store brand for $4.99. There's also cage free for $7.99 and another cage free that looks to be identical from the same brand for $8.69. Generic organic (cage/etc not listed) in the plastic container is $6.99.
American Midwest, my small city, a dozen eggs are about $5.50 – $7
About $4-$12 depending on how much you believe it when they say the chickens are being treated humanly.
I split the difference and get the ones that are about $6/dozen.
Oregon valley is 4.25 for grade A from costco and winco was 4.50. Its up about 0.50 in the last few weeks.
Good thing the orange one will fix those prices soon by doing a something at some point...
Side note, WTF is up with diesel? 30 cent increase in 2 days.
Western Nebraska, basically Wyoming: non organic are in the range of five bucks at the grocery store. Organic is anywhere from 6 to 8. I get locally-raise ones for 3.50 a dozen at my mechanic's shop :) Just have to pay cash.
This economy is stupid.
All prices in USD in case that wasn’t clear
Store brand like 2 bucks and Egglands best maybe 4-$5
South east, western nc more specifically
It’s beautiful here. We got destroyed by the hurricane but starting to pick back up
I’m in an area with a lot of farms so I’m assuming that’s why
4.29 at aldi for the cage free organic ones, 4.59 for regular for whatever reason. It was like that during covid too.
what possible retail store in the california central valley is still selling a dozen large eggs for $3?
Was at the store yesterday, $5 a dozen, $7 for 18.
6.99 for house/factory & $10+ free range
$6 from the farmers market.
$4.99 a dozen large standard at the closest full grocery store near me in the Midwest, 7.49 free range large
Australia - $AUD 5.19 inc tax ($USD 3.27) - Aldi
Like 6$
Was 3$ a month ago
About $5.50 for a dozen of the brown, non-organic ones. Kinda middle-tier. This is central texas btw.
Similar pricing in SE Michigan
i buy my eggs from Janice down the street, $2/dz plus i bring her my table scraps to feed her chickens.
5 or 6 dollars, depending on where you're shopping. my parents have chickens though so I grab a dozen when I'm home sometimes.
Denver suburb, $7.99 per 18 A-large
I need to replace 4 chickens this spring, I expect more people buying them this year. Anyone who is allowed to keep chickens should consider it, IMO. Stupid easy to care for and if they get to run around and eat bugs the eggs are far superior.
E: 36hrs later they were $11 for the 18 eggs
Dozen grade A large:
$4.69 from our more trendy expensive store.
$5.09 from our “cheap” store.
Weird that the expensive store is cheaper.
We have an Aldi, too, but they don’t have their price online.
Still not enough that I'm willing to get chickens. And probably still not as much as the real cost including currently externalized pollution costs. About $8 for the good ones. Around $5 for the factory farmed ones, but they are often sold out, the supply right now isn't meeting the demand.
Somewhere around 7 to 10 dollars dozen.
Texas. $7.50, but I buy the organic, pasture-raised, fair trade, small batch, artisinal eggs where the chickens are all partial owners of the egg-laying co-op. It's a chicken coop co-op.
The price has gone up significantly, like $2 or more, since last month. I don't remember what it was exactly, but I've never spent $7.50 for fucking eggs.
Regular cage-free was like $5.50. Didn't see any of the normal sad chicken eggs last time I went.
Less than 4€ for a dozen local organic eggs. I live in a small village in France, and we're luck to be able to buy it directly from the producer.
I don’t know, I just grab them and put them in my cart when I go to the grocery store. I’m going to buy them no matter what they cost, so why bother worrying about it? Holy shit it’s like 75% of the country has gone insane.
It's one carton of milk Michael, what could it cost? $20?
Im going to check on prices no matter what my salary is. If i feel scammed i wont buy. Period.

Well, they're obviously normal price now, since it was all Bidens fault, and had nothing to do with poultry diseases.
