Has the price of eggs gone up where you live?

[Phentex]

Due to the shortage and diseased chickens, the news keeps reporting a price increase in eggs. I just bought some at Costco and the price was the same.

Have you noticed a change?

[NJCher]

1. no change in Northern NJ

I see those reports, too, and keep wondering if they will be raising the prices, but so far, no.

3. I was thinking of buying ahead...

but then I figure how much can they actually raise the price? 50 cents?

[mopinko]

2. not at my house.

course, i have my own chickens...

[Phentex]

4. they also had stories of people in the city doing just that...

then the rooster haters got all upset about the noise.

We don't use a lot of eggs but in the summer I want egg salad sandwiches. And deviled eggs.

[mopinko]

5. yeah, i got my share of haters.

we shall overcome.
there are so many other noises around here louder and more annoying that my boys. i think once it becomes more commonplace, it will melt into the background like the noise from the trains at the end of the block.
a lot of my neighbors love the sound. most of them come from mexico, so it really reminds them of home.

but you dont need roos for eggs. a lot of towns allow hens but no roos.
i keep them to keep the girls safe, tho. big upsurge in cooper's hawks around here. i blame the roo haters.

12. now you've made me nostalgic

I remember going to Gramma's house and hearing the roosters in the morning! It was wonderful!

I can't see how it's any different than the hooting of the owls.

14. or the honking of geese.

or the mating songs of robins in the middle of the night. those suckers are LOUD.

6. Southern New Hampshire-yes

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

7. Yes in northern Illinois

By at least a third.

[azurnoir]

8. oh yes last I looked a few days ago $4+ a dozen but then again I'm in MN

[Galileo126]

9. Yes, in the High Desert of SoCal

I just bought a dozen for $3.99.

Yikes!!

[becca da bakkah]

10. Hi Galileo126. Which part of the SoCal High Desert

are you in? Sounds like we could be neighbors. I'm in Landers, outside of Yucca Valley, CA.

[Galileo126]

11. Sorta neighbors

I'm the the Antelope Valley, about 100 mi west from you. But I guess it really doesn't matter, since it all looks the same in any direction after one goes north of the mountains, eh?

[becca da bakkah]

13. Ha! So True.

Good to know another desert "rat" is nearby. We need all the progressives we can get in this area!

[SoCalDem]

15. MoVal here..sort of deserty..brown & ugly

[becca da bakkah]

18. I Assume MoVal is Moreno Valley.....Right?

Or, from my neck of the woods, it could also be Morongo Valley. My daughter lived in Moreno Valley for about 12 years, on Old Valley Road. Now she's in Mira Loma.

But yeah....eggs are out of sight. Bad news for my son and I, since we eat a LOT of them!

[SoCalDem]

19. Moreno Valley

or as my boys called it "Moron Valley"

[becca da bakkah]

21. Hah! We Call Morongo Valley "Morons Go"!

How's the fire treating you? Much smoke and haze your way? It's really thick here....lots of soot and ash all over my kitchen counter tops for the past 3 days. Our eyes are stinging and watering like crazy. And we're the OTHER side of the mountain from Big Bear. Stay safe.

[SoCalDem]

22. sad to think of all those trees...gone

[sinkingfeeling]

16. They've just about doubled in price since January.

6 eggs went from $.79 to $1.49. A dozen Large Grade A eggs went from $1.69 to $3.29.

[Phentex]

17. Wow!

guess I should stock up!

I am surprised by all of these responses.

[Major Nikon]

20. A dozen eggs here used to be $1.49 not that long ago

Today I paid $2.49.

Still a pretty cheap source of protein compared to beef, chicken, or pork.
