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 :/
Yep, that jives with my experience too (southeastern US).
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)
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
I used to be able to buy 5 DOZEN eggs for $10 at Sam’s Club
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.
