I know the prez said he'd drop the price of groceries on day one, but he got a little sidetracked by his side project of destroying the country. But give him a few more weeks to get that done and then I'm sure he'll get right back to the groceries.
-
Oh no, grocery prices are this term's infrastructure week.
-
Groceries, the term he popularized that no one was using until he started saying it.
-
-
Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about "Biden's high eggs prices" just last month. Haven't heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it's just "God's will."
-
I used to buy those eggs at the bottom of the picture. They come with a newsletter inside about how the chickens are doing.
The cheap eggs now cost what those eggs used to cost.
-
I still buy those eggs, the notes they put in are cute.
-
I wonder if writing that up is a full-time job. I'd love to interview chickens.
-
-
-
Weird: this is Safeway, Canada
-
Hey Internet stranger, can I buy some of your eggs?
-
quick, before the orange clown adds tariffs 😆
-
-
(For readers, with the USD-CAD conversion they're closer to
$5$4) -
This is from a Zehrs, it's Loblaws so not even remotely the cheapest place in town
With exchange, that pack of 30 organic eggs is ~11.90 USD. I usually just buy no name.
-
That's expensive. I live out in the boonies where things cost more and my local store is $4 a dozen.
-
Those are fancyish eggs too. I paid $3.69 yesterday for store brand and they are often on sale for a little less. Our avian flu situation isn't as bad yet though so it can still go up.
-
Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also probably some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.
Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.
-
-
Your monopoly money buys more eggs than our real money?! Now I've seen everything!
-
-
That's still high, assuming cad, but much better. It's around 6-8 'freedom' dollars down here is southern America.
-
-
Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?
-
It’s Hussein Obama eating all them eggs! Thanks Obama!
-
Must be the DEI chickens.
-
Couldn't have been, because that pompous dick Gaston eats the entire daily supply every morning to get jacked.
-
-
This makes me miss Orange Julius stores. Dairy Queen bought them out and now you're lucky if DQ offers two flavors of Julius. And never peach, which was my favorite.
Also, fuck Trump. But that pretty much goes without saying.
-
-
-
I can't believe buying chickens actually saved me money, I just did it because I wanted chickens. I expected to pay more per egg (considering food and litter) because I don't have economies of scale like the large producers do.
-
Phew, are you OK over there? For comparison in Germany it's 2€ for 10 eggs, or 2,40€ for cage free. Eggs from the farmer start at 3,50€. In my area anyway.
-
They're fighting the bird flu
-
Jein. It's not as bad as OP makes it sound, and I've never seen a 10 let alone 12 organic eggs in Germany for 2€ but I also live in the city.
What you're looking at here look like organic (bio) eggs, likely from a very expensive bio-store. Typical prices for eggs in Denver for organic eggs are 7.49 for 12 or .62¢ a egg at a store comparable to REWE. - Non-bio eggs get down to 4.99 on sale for 12 or .41 an egg.
Here at my REWE in Köln organic eggs are 3.39 for 10 or .33 an egg. So they are actually only twice the price for organic which is due to the killing of millions of chickens because of bird flue.
-
-
It is a banana! How much could it cost? $10?
-
Wow. I saw people mentioning this on another thread and I posted that we can get 15 Medium Free Range Eggs in the UK for $3.37. Could find cheaper than that if I shopped around.
-
It's a dozen eggs, Michael. How much could it cost, $10?
-
In Colorado stores must sell cage-free eggs now. The law just went into effect.
https://ag.colorado.gov/press-release/all-eggs-sold-in-colorado-starting-in-2025-will-be-cage-free
-
I was wondering why they were the only option, figured they were just the ones not hit by bird flu
-
-
In hawaii we cant get eggs at all for the past week or two-- or even those milk carton pints of liquid eggs. I was told at the foodland today to come at 5am tomorrow when the doors open and theres always just a few boxes. So.. I guess I get up at 430 tomorrow. Then elbow the old ladies -- or whatever I need to do to get to the eggs first.
They are mean and have canes but they can't take a punch and I can run to the egg aisle first.
-
Out here fighting for eggs like scalpers fighting for RTX 5090s.
-
you be nice to dem auntie
-
This sounds like the stories my grandma told me about the GDR. They also had to get up early to get basic necessities, otherwise they were gone.
-
-
-
Yeah, like reducing tax businesses have to pay won't make prices cheaper, they'll just pocket the cash.
-
-
Let's Go Trump!
-
Wouldn't it be great if this was the impetus for people going back to raising animals and growing some of their food for themselves? Almost everyone has room for a garden, even if it's just a window sill for some fresh herbs. And raising even some of your own food can save you a ton of money.
Or you can take advantage of the rising egg prices to sell them for $9.99/dozen to your neighbors, whatever. Be the neighborhood eggpin. Lead your own fowl empire to dominance over the local Whole Foods.
-
I do this, but I swear I spend so much on potting soil, and containers (though now that I have enough that cost is taken care of) that I'm not sure it's saving me anything. I'd love to plant into the ground but I've got hard soil so I'd have to rent a tiller and amend the soil for ages, which is also an additional cost. Still planning on planting tons of potatoes, various tomatoes, and an herb garden this spring. It's an enjoyable hobby, but it is just that; a hobby. Those tend to be expensive, at least the ones I choose.
-
I spend so much on potting soil
you'd think it would be dirt cheap
-
Why not start with what you got and improve the quality over time as you can, rather than hope for maximum efficiency setup from scratch. Like maybe rent the tiller and just see what grows with the soil as is? Then compost and fertilize.
Like change the parameters of the game. See how much you can do with as little money as possible. It might be less time efficient, but more cash efficient, if that's what you care about.
Remember it's YOUR, hobby, you make the rules of the game, then play it.
-
I'm pretty lucky where I live, my house used to be on the side of a lake, and the soil is very soft and easy to dig into. I've got a tiller attachment for my weed trimmer that I use to till the soil in the spring.
But even if you don't have good soil, you can still set up a hydroponics bay with whatever space you have available. It's not too expensive to get started either. Probably less than you'll spend on eggs these days. 😂
-
I spent approximately $500 on a raised bed and grew like, idk, less than 20 cherry tomatoes. (I wasn't doing it for money, but still.)
-
-
Then you will need to hire armed security guards to keep folks from stealing your eggs.
-
My gf is getting us chickens this year.
-
Lots of luck with getting chickens this year. You know they come from eggs and EVERYBODY will be thinking the same thing. There will be riots at the Rural Kings.
-
-
It is getting popular to do stuff like that. Most people I know have at least one or two half dead herb plants on their windowsill.
-
-
Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.
-
So, I guess no.... Denver omelet? Sorry I'll leave.
-
-
In Colorado Springs, I'm seeing Eggland's Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth "Kipster Large" eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.
While these prices are certainly high compared to what we're used to, it's definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I'm seeing online.
I can't imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.
-
-
What's the thing with eggs in the US ?
-
-
~~ Upstate NY and a dozen is between 8-9 dollars last I looked. ~~
I apologize, that's the 18 pack. I was reminded we got charged the 18 pack price but only had a 12. That was a four hour later going over the receipt find. This was a Price Chopper outside of Albany.
-
In Germany, you can't even buy eggs from cage farming anymore.
-
Colorado law only allows for cage free eggs as of January 1st of this year and had mostly already been all that's available here prior to this bird flu epidemic for maybe 6ish months and prices were not increased significantly as a result.
Regardless, this picture represents an extreme and not the least expensive eggs available at this particular store.
-
We got cage free organic at 6.19/dozen here in Ohio. This seems a localized high
-
Yep I'm near Delaware so we have all the chicken farms at least near us. And our eggs are $4.5 for a dozen.
-
-
I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...
-
Sorry to disappoint, i'm not from Denver. I stole the image from reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/FluentInFinance/comments/1ibgmua/today_in_denver_1099_for_one_dozen_eggs_eggs_used/
-
Howdy! Denverish over here.
-
-
Conservatives don't care. They'll go into debt for Daddy Trump. That's what cultists do for a cult leader.
-
Everyone trying to call bullshit, but my local discount market is selling eggs for $10.99 a dozen too. Not organic. Probably not even free range. Just the same cheap eggs as usual, but 3x the price.
-
Yeah, these are specialty farm eggs, cage free, and brown. They’re also stacked in with the organic eggs. They probably command a markup without the price increases from bird flu. This is also probably some trendier grocery store OP is shopping at.
Our “fancy” grocery store has a dozen cage free large brown eggs for $5.49, so either this is a local issue in Denver or OP is posting some BS engagement bait.
Just snapped this pic from our store’s online shopping app.
-
I'm in Denver as well, you can't find regular eggs in stock. The only thing I can find is the cage-free/brown egg stuff. So this price isn't too far off (especially for King Soopers (Kroger). I've seen price tags for as low as $5.50, but never in stock (this was at Trader Joe's).
I go to a local grocery store, end of last year a dozen eggs could be had on special (pretty regularly) for $1. I spent $4.50 for a half-dozen on sale... ($9/dozen). It came with a card that said Jubilant Julie is the bird of the month, LMAO. This was the cheapest option, including sold-out stuff.
My recommendation to OP is stop shopping at King Soopers and Safeway. Shop around, try out Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Target, etc. Or, better yet, find a local grocery store (Brother's Market, Max Market, Clark's Market, Sun Market, Syracuse Market to name a few). Not only will it probably be a better product for the same/less price, but you'll support a local business and you won't have to wait in line for 10+ soul-crushing minutes.
-
Isn’t Kroger the one that got in trouble for “surge pricing”? Basically corporate whitewashing of price gouging. They also switched to e-price tags that would let them more quickly change prices.
Edit: yes those greedy f’ks did price gouge.
-
$11.99 per dozen for regular eggs at a CA Trader Joe’s.
Clown.
-
-
Your post prompted me to check -- at the "fancy" grocery store in town, I can get a dozen eggs for about $5. Same price at Aldi. Looking at Target, it's about $4.20.
Wait, what? I usually expect Target to be more expensive than other options in the area! Strange times.
-
You are both posting anecdotes, essentially.
-
No, this is objective, not a “story”. At this time these are the actual prices for the eggs at my location at a store with historically higher prices. I qualified my assertion with facts. If you want, I will dig up more egg prices to create an unscientific average to prove that egg prices are not insane here. However, OP has offered no qualifications for the store or the farm. That’s a “story” left up to the reader to infer all egg prices are high in Denver.
As a matter of fact, here you go:
Local Price Chopper:
Local ShopRite:
I’m sure I could find expensive eggs for engagement bait.
-
-
Egg colour is down to genetics - some breeds, eg leghorn, lay white eggs. Others lay various shades of brown. It's what's inside that counts, and that depends a lot on what you feed a chicken.
-
The latter. Nobody ever posts the store brand eggs and talks price about those.
-
Where I live, a city in the PNW, Fred Meyer (Kroger) cheap ass eggs are around $7. $7.50 at Safeway. Even Winco and Trader Joe's eggs are around $5/6 a dozen.
I'm not sure where you live, but I'm guessing it's less densely populated or has easier access to diary farms.
Or you shop online for food, which, no, I'm not doing that.
-
-
They’re $8.75 for 12 at Aldi in CA. Or if you’re a real saver, 60 for under $45!
-
8.75/12 = $0.73 per egg.
45/60 = $0.75 per egg.Incredible! With bulk purchasing, I can pay an extra $0.02 per egg.
-
-
Jesus that's a huge difference in the Aldi price nearest me (about an hour by car).
-
Yeah, you know shit is fucked when eggs are over $8/dozen at Aldi!
-
-
-
They will have security tags in them soon
-
Wonder how long this has to keep up for more products to start becoming accidentally vegan due to having to avoid eggs as they're too volatile.
-
They're cage free/organic. Those are always more expensive.
-
Not organic, and cage free < free range < pasture raised
-
... < just not eating eggs
-
-
cage free is better than nothing, but if it were organic it would say so and not just cage free I suspect. I'm not even sure they're free-range, maybe they're just all in a barn with no access to outside fields?
even if they were ecological, to me that seems expensive
-
People eating caged eggs in 2025??
-
I don't know what cage free means but I do know it's marketing speak designed to tempt me away from free range. Not buying it.
-
no, it's an actual term. 1-1.5 sqr feet per hen in the egg-laying facility https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/HB20-1343
-
-
Yeah. Complaining about the cost of top shelf eggs is kinda disingenuous.
-
Most groceries here don’t post prices online, but …..
Boston Metro West - Amazon Fresh eggs from “Whole Foods”, not the cheapest grocery, $4.49/doz grade a large brown. My regular grocery is much cheaper than “Whole Paycheck” for most things.
No taxes on food here, although Amazon Fresh has a delivery charge.
I imagine the huge disparity of prices is that culling due to bird flu must be regional and our chickens must not be infected yet
-
It is definitely regional culling or outright infection and death of the birds. It jumped to a human in Louisiana. It killed him.
Edit: I'm reading from CDC now and my info is old. There have been 61 reported cases that were not as serious. This might be another big one folks, with the entire government controlled by people who don't believe in settled science.
-
-
-
Even worse when you consider this is without tax and the compareisons are made to prices without tax. To be fair the rest of the world doesn't threat their eggs so they need to be refrigerated like these US eggs need to be, which also costs money.
-
Food is not taxed in the US. At least in my state.
-
What state doesn't have tax at the checkout?
-
That is not the norm.I was wrong. 18 states tax [groceries](https://youtu.be/n9yBXi-ytwM r ).
Prob NSFW link
-
-
-
Come on, it's only 92 cents apiece. It was $6.99 for two dozen under Biden. Do the math folks.
-
-
Illeggals
-
As soon as the farms run out of illegals to exploit, the price of eggs might go up to 10.99 per egg, though...
-
-
new innovation in capitalism! 4-pack of eggs. costs what a dozen used to
-
It'll be even more soon...
-
They're $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don't have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
-
Awesome. Carnists gonna be crying about paying the real price for destroying the planet.
-
I regret not making friends with the neighbors who owned chickens. They're sitting on bird gold.
-
Y'all need "I did that" Trump stickers like the ones that were put next to gas pumps with Biden
-
In Australia they're not available at all. This is at Woolworths supermarket:
-
But those come with a free cage, that's extra value!
-
Wow, food in Germany is indeed cheap.
Current prices: 0,34€ per egg for organic eggs, 0,20€ per egg for a lower grade (Bodenhaltung)
-
Got a 18 pack from Penny the other day for about 3 or 4 euro. Only thing I miss about American grocery stores are the variety but fuck all that if you can't afford the majority of it
-
We’re only talking eggs here, this is not an indicator of general inflation.
We had that too so prices are higher over say five years, but as far as I know, general inflation is under control. The biggest problem there is all the price increases blamed on “global supply chain disruption” from a couple years back: why haven’t they gone away since the disruption has?
-
-
Just over the border in Switzerland I've got 0,79€ per egg (0,75€ pr egg in a 12 pack). But that's still cheaper than OP.
-
Looks like I need to fly out to Denver to save some money on eggs.
-
Good! (Said with a condescending vegan tone.)
-
You should put maga stickers next to the price tag, just to remind the folks :)
-
People need to start putting trump "I did this" stickers on everything like the magats were on gas pumps.
-
-
As long as MAGA doesn't blame Trump or the corporations directly then those corporations will continue to raise prices because higher profits are in their best interest.
-
I’m finding 18 for $9. Discount groceries. Not Walmart, that place is more expensive post 2020 than dedicated discount grocery stores.
Even so. Eggs priced like meat is going to cause a lot of protein malnutrition going forward.
-
Raw milk will fix that ;)
-
-
Closing in on a buck an egg.
-
That's normal price in my country.
-
-
So in the 🇺🇸 instead of rings people now use eggs to propose to someone ?
-
may I offer you an 🥚, in this trying time?
-
Oh thank you 😍
-
-
-
$4 a dozen in Kentucky.
-
So a dollar more than a banana
-
How much can it cost, Michael?
-
-
Today, I paid $7.79 for a dozen, extra large, white, store brand eggs here in New Jersey.
-
I brought some yesterday for 3 dollars
-
Should have gotten the small caged eggs.
-
Can't. Eggs have to be cage free in CO since January 1st. The law passed 2 years ago, so of course egg companies are acting like they couldn't possibly have prepared for it to take effect. The plus side (for me and like 5 other people) is that this makes the vegan egg alternative seem WAY more reasonably priced these days.
-
Its such a too-little too-late maneuver. If closed coops hadn't been these giant petri dishes for disease over the last thirty years, maybe we wouldn't have mutated a strain of H5N1 that was so virulent. Now we're switching to free range just in time for our sickened flocks to infect the wild migratory fowl that pass through.
Only thing to do is... checks latest EO... defund all public health and safety measures against infection and transmission.
-
I was not being serious.
-
-
-
Its just packaged chicken cum. No big deal.
-
I was aware the USA has some educational troubles, but either you are trolling or joking or these troubles are much more serious than I anticipated.
-
Yeah dude
-
-
Uhh that is only if they are fertilized. It is really just a packaged chicken period.
-
-
Cage free eggs are already some of the most expensive eggs anyway.
-
Colorado banned non-cage-free eggs statewide a few years back
-
-
Eggs are now 33$ in Denver guys!!
Na... Just kidding... We don't do click bait here. And eggs aren't really 10$ a dozen most anywhere.
-
12.99 at my tourist town in CA
-
Your chickens need to support their weed habit somehow...
-
I am afraid to ask the price of the Vital Farms eggs.
PS: $6.49 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
-
Wow, translated to NZD that is that is like $19.50. Current egg prices here are $5 for size 6 and around $6.50 for size 7.
-
Chicken shit.

That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.
Thanks for reminding me about him looking straight at the sun like a 2 year old.
I need a high resolution version so I can print some stickers.
6.19 in Oklahoma.
I moved to California from Tulsa last year and that blows my mind. They're $12 here one per customer but Cali had made me numb to outrageous prices but that price in Oklahoma brings it all back.
I know it's crude but I still can't kick my love for the idea of a "I raped that too!" Sticker
