POLL: Egg prices skyrocketed in weeks! What is the price of a dozen eggs in your area?!
What is the price in your hometown? Just name the state as I understand some people are still buying eggs less than a dollar still, while others have been paying double the prices since the summer.
Due to lack of news on the situation I find it surprising no one really knows what happened. We hear weather, but "most" of the country does not have bad weather. We hear that corn (typically fed to chickens) is now used for ethanol, but I don't buy that for a second since canned corn is selling for less that it was last year. Then we hear the bird flu and we are exporting eggs. I don't buy that either as it takes a little more than two or three weeks to funnel all those eggs immediately to other markets.
I think if a Toyota Camry went from $20,000 to $50,000 we would have heard about it and a very good reason why it happened.
Answers: Here in Oklahoma a dozen eggs went from about 89 cents to $2.20. That is up about 250% in three weeks... maybe four.

same thing here in NC, avg. $2.20. The price has suddenly doubled. Fancy cage free eggs are on sale at our local SM for less than two dollars. I'm a chef and I had no idea why thy price has gone through the roof. I have heard the corn theory as well but that is BS. More corn is produced in this country than any other crop and they make the majority of ethanol from non food grade corn.
wow, eggs are still like $1.00 for a dozen here in vincennes, indiana
$2.79 in Hawaii (the Big Island) but it has been like that for a long time (the 3 years I have been here)
$3.60 for organic in Portland Oregon
I just paid $1.79/dozen at the beginning of this week. This was for extra large eggs, cheaper, obviously, with smaller sizes... I'm in northern indiana.
Your eggs are still cheap. Here in Australia I pay between 5 and $6 a dozen for free range eggs I think the caged hens eggs are probably about $4 a dozen but I would never consider buying them its so cruel to have those hens spend their lives in a cage where they can't turn around and the eggs taste awful you can taste the awful food they feed them
I just paid $1.99 for large eggs here in northeast Missouri. They have nearly doubled in price since a week or two ago.
A dozen store brand (Safeway) eggs are $2.29 right now. That's the north bay of Cali.
uh they where buy one get one free this week haha like 3.29 for 18ct. im in cali and i tend not to see very many dozen eggs
