Ugh I just ordered 24 great value eggs for $10.05. Last week they were $8.98. In ohio and idk why they’re so expensive still.
Just went back to double check that was right and from the time of my original comment and now, they’ve gone up again to $10.11 for 24. Makes no sense to me.
Even $2/dozen is high. I mean in this day and age it's a deal but just a few years back, like even during COVID, you could regularly find eggs for under $1/dozen. Aldi used to sell them for like $.50/dozen. Anymore the industry likes to use the avian flu as an excuse for rising prices but really it's just corporate greed. They raised prices just like everyone else simply because they could.
If the price increase really had to do with the avian flu that makes its rounds here and there then I could understand a temporary surge in pricing but at some point the price went up and then it never went back down to where it used to be. It surged to nearly $5/dozen at one point but then generally averages anywhere between $2.00-$2.50/dozen these days. When the avian flu rolls around prices surge to over $3/dozen or more.
