About $0.60 currently in the USA, which is quadruple what they were at this time last year. Supposedly this is mostly because many egg suppliers had to cull their flocks due to the current H5N1 bird flu. But there is also concern that egg prices have been rising in general in the long term due to industry consolidation and monopolization.

... IF you can find them in a store. Our local Trader Joe's (a grocery store) in SF has been out of eggs for a while.


No shortage in Seattle. About $8/dozen which is about double normal.


About USD 1.50 per dozen here in South Africa.


I would not consider Trader Joe's to be a grocery store.
