I’m in Europe and pay nearly €4 for 6 grade 0 eggs, have done for ages. These say free range, so I guess equivalent to grade 1? This is obviously slightly more expensive but not by crazy amounts - were eggs there that much cheaper before?
In the US, back in 2023, a dozen eggs at Aldi cost $1.35. Before all the bird flu/inflation/corporate greed I would frequently see them for .79 a dozen.
When I was there 2 weeks ago they were going for $5.65
I was thinking about this when shopping last week. Went to lift 6 eggs, Saw they were like £2 and thought “clearly just an American thing at the minute”

.79 a dozen sounds mad, that’s gotta be battery hens :/
That’s insane. Sounds like your egg prices were being artificially kept low.
Nope, we just have an abundance of eggs. Plus the fed buys a large amount for vaccines(now that trumps in power. I doubt that’s still happening)
Yep, that jives with my experience too (southeastern US).
I used to be able to buy 5 DOZEN eggs for $10 at Sam’s Club
Am in Europe, that’s expensive as hell for eggs.
In Cyprus in fairness, small island economy 😁
The brand in the image typically sold for about $6 a dozen last year. In a number of cases the prices have risen 50-100% in the last month
That’s expensive, although I’ve never seen the grade system before. A 12 pack of comparable large grade A eggs in the UK is around 4.50 GBP.
