Egg prices, and impacts you are seeing

Report on the German Eggs: hearty meal that was easy for me to make with my modest culinary skills. Served with boiled potatoes and a small salad. Itā€™s easy to imagine sitting in a rural German kitchen eating this meal. I donā€™t know that it will go into the regular rotation but it was nice for a change!

Sounds interesting. Did you have fresh dill to use in it?

My recipe didnā€™t call for dill but Iā€™m guessing it would be a lovely addition. Iā€™ll suggest it to DH, who plans to have the leftover eggs for brunch this weekend.

Pretty soon we may be hoarding onions. Big shortages worldwide.

Bought eggs yesterday for $4/dozen and felt like Iā€™d robbed the store. A year ago, I would have been looking for 99 cent deals.

I can grow a bucketful of onionsā€¦ they are easy to store. Eggsā€¦ no thanks. Donā€™t want to be tied down by having chickens. Although a few of our neighbors have them, judging by the rooster screaming! :laughing:

I just checked our prices. $3.37 for 18 at Walmart. While itā€™s higher than the $1.60 or whatever it was at some point last year, itā€™s far cheaper than the $7+ it was a few weeks ago!

I was just on the ā€œfeeling oldā€ thread and am thinking back to when eggs were 39 cents a dozen loss leader before Easter every year. It helped with Passover shopping since I needed eight dozen eggs just to start the holiday (counting all seder food).

I havenā€™t seen a dozen under $5 for a while. Where do you get your eggs so cheap?

Not if you live on the 4th floor of an apartment building, no outdoor space!

Today eggs at Walmart in my small town:
18 eggs for $3.22
12 eggs for $2.22

I bought 18. No special attention was drawn to it. I just happened to look at the prices. We are under 20 cents an egg again, so moving in the right direction!

Iā€™m seeing plenty of empty shelves, everywhere in the store, at several grocery stores in the SF Bay Area. Not sure whatā€™s happening with us here.

Bought eggs over the weekend for the first time since like November(we donā€™t eat many eggs). They were $2.99 a dz. Store brand.

At Aldi the eggs were 2.24/dozen today.

$4.79/dozen at Trader Joeā€™s in San Francisco today. Itā€™s at the point where I think anything under $5/dozen is a bargain. I do remember seeing the price of eggs at Costco last week, and thought they were pretty reasonable. Something like $3.99 for 18 eggs. But I still see empty shelves at various Bay Area stores, or shelves with only four or five cartons on them.

$1.47 at Safeway. Itā€™s a digital special, so limited to 4 dozen.

No eggs of any kind were to be found at our local TJ last night! Costco had 3 different kinds though.
