Might be the store you shop at is to blame. I can get a dozen cage free eggs for $2.49 at my local Safeway. I feel like some stores just refused to lower their prices back down after that bird flu panic. They’re all greedy, some just greedier than others.
I grew up in Chicago area. Out of curiosity, I looked it up on the Jewel Osco website and a dozen normal eggs is 2 bucks a dozen, currently on sale for $1.79.
You are correct. Da jewel has their brand at that price, but no one ever buys those more than once. Here are the prices from jewelz about an hour ago…note the completely untouched house brand. And for anyone else, this is a mid-tier grocery store edit: pinch and zoom for fucks sake. was uploaded mobile. stopped paying adobe and i still need to put the time into learning Gimp. EDIT2: why are you downvoting can you not see or does it hurt when your lying eyes see this?
Although I agree that the egg industry has shown itself to be miserable bastards, I feel like all you’ve demonstrated is that consumers are still being gouged for eggs in chicago.
Prices have come down a lot here, and based on replies to your comment, many other places also.
That does suck, but it also leads me to believe that some entity local to you is the source of the problem.
That’s crazy. I was happy to buy Aldi’s eggs for $1.29/dozen, and I searched the brand. The results are so disgusting, I understand now that I most hard-boil or hard-scramble them or risk illness. I guess eggs are on their way out because I’m not paying that. Maybe firm tofu for protein.

Jewel and Mariano’s both have the cheapest eggs at or under $2.50. I get the ones that are supposedly more humane and for $5 though.

People shop at the stores available, to which they can travel.
