Summary
Egg prices in the U.S. have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.
The shortage is compounded by rising feed, fuel, and labor costs, as well as increased demand and stricter cage-free regulations in several states.
Consumers face empty shelves, surcharges, and limited availability, with some areas pricing cartons at $10 or more.
Prices are expected to continue rising, especially with Easter demand.
Prices in Ireland for 12 eggs are €3.75 for free range or €2.70 for barn
I’m in Colombia. My local grocery store has them for 23 mil pesos ($5.58 USD at today’s exchange rate) for 30 eggs. That comes out to $2.38 USD per dozen.
The tienda by my home has them cheaper, but I can’t check their prices online to verify the exact cost.
How much for you to paint them to look like toy eggs and ship to the US?
Prices here in Norway are… uh, I don’t know. I bought a large pack yesterday, and the checkout total was about what I expected. So normal, I guess. Probably same-ish as Ireland.
