      Not sure which state you reside in, but our Aldi was 1.87. Walmart $8. Just for a dozen.

      Price gouging at its finest.

        Probably bought at different times and at different areas. Just get what you want.

        Anyone complaining about a dollar difference in eggs had better not be drinking alcohol or smoke cigarettes.

          The price of chicken feed is outrageous.

          They have to buy food, water, antibiotics, bedding, heat / cooling, hired help, egg cartons, gas to haul to the stores, upkeep on all equipment, it’s not just going into the store and getting a dozen eggs or anything else you get at the stores.

          A lot goes into getting the food to the stores.

          So, you see a dz eggs are cheaper at another store.

          What does it cost you in gas and wear and tare on your vehicle?

          Are you really saving anything? Probably not.

            They’re just jacking up the prices so they can drop them right before the election and tell you that they made the economy better because the price of groceries are down 50% even though they’ve raised them 80%.

                We get them from local families with backyard chickens. $3 a dozen and they are free range and support local families.

                  By from local farmer. You know where they came from and are fresher. Support the farmer instead of corporate stores.

                        I just payed $2.37 at Aldi. I really don’t have time to go to several stores for groceries.

                          I have a Whole Foods a mile from me, Target, Shoprite 10 minutes down the road.

                          Walmart is 30 minutes away.

                          I don’t bother going to Walmart anymore because so many things are the same or more expensive than the other stores.

                          Whole Foods has been my go to for eggs for months.

                            Eggs seem pretty cheap at the grocery stores here. I pay $4.50/dozen for free range chicken eggs at the farmers market (or get them free from my daughter’s chickens.)

                              We have our flock and when they’re running low we buy from the Amish. $2-$3 a dozen.

                                Are you anywhere close to a farmer? I’ve never paid more than $3 for a dozen of the freshest eggs available.

                                They’re also very pretty…blue and green.

                                  Stores get price changes from their suppliers all the time. And the prices can fluctuate a great deal.

                                  So quit blaming stores- they have to make some profit on eggs.

                                  And for most stores eggs don’t make much profit.

                                    Are those pastured raised? I pay more for pastured raised. That’s not the same as cage free, cage free just means they are still kept indoors, just not in a cage!
