I dunno, at my local Shaws nearly every egg option was still over 5 dollars a dozen aside from the shittiest of the shittiest.

One of the things that cool about rural Mississippi is I can grab a dozen eggs from old people selling em for $2 dozen. These eggs are brown, not white, and they taste much better.

That sucks.
According to gov’t data, the average price for a dozen was $2.50 last month, versus $6.23 in March 2025.

I mean I can do that in the summer when it's not 30 and raining. But summer egg prices are rarely the problem.

That's commodity pricing and whole sale basis.
Commodity caged eggs wholesale for 1.70 a dozen with 30% COmmodity eggs are cheaper and shittier. If you want to get them it's fine. But they're always the cheapest. The issue with the year ago shit was that commodity eggs were more expensive than local eggs. Which flipped the market on it's ass.

Hill Country Fare is the cheapest eggs HEB offers. I found this with quick googling.
It would be like if I was trying to make my point and shared what Whole Foods is charging for Vital Farms Large Eggs.
Cheapest of the cheap, the commodity, factory eggs are that cheap. But a decent egg at the grocery store is still setting you back 5 bucks a dozen.
According to HEB, Eggland's Best which is like a bog standard egg, is 3.87. That's not cheap for mediocre eggs.
