That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

    It’s weird, there is no reason for eggs to be expensive. Eggs are ultra cheap to manufacture. You can do that anywhere and just need some kind of food because they can eat a lot of different things. It doesn’t need precious metals or rare earth or patents or import raw materials - any country can just produce chickens and eggs easily.

    So egg prices skyrocketing is either a fundamental dysfunction in a countries economy. Or maybe a political move to influence an election.

      well, losing tens of millions of hens to bird flu is bound to make a dent in the supply side of the supply/demand balance.
