Egg prices expected to rise more than 40 percent in 2025
The current average price for a carton of eggs is nearly $5 per dozen
Summary
Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.
The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny's have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
Sucks for Americans. I got a dozen extra extra large eggs in Canada for 5$ Canadian...
But let's be honest. 5$ for a dozen eggs is fucking nuts too. They were so much fucking cheaper not all that long ago
… I still remember when eggs were .89 for a dozen. Those were the days.
Correct. But the eggs I bought were extra-extra-large. If I wanted to get just large or medium I would have paid around 4 or less.
i don't have egg prices in my area. the grocery store simply removed the egg section
For those living close to Canada, I wonder if they can cross the border to go grocery shopping.
Nonono. Remeber to declare when passing into to the Reich to get that 25% added.
USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers
No. No they didn't.
They fired people to try to free money for more tax breaks for the top 1% with zero concern if these people were needed or useful.
Close: they are enemies of the United States acting out of malice toward the goal of weakening the United States.
We are under attack.
The less eggs you can afford to buy increases the supply for the people who do not need to worry about the price of eggs.
Meanwhile in Trudeau's socialist nightmare, where eggs are under
kolkhozsupply management, I pay $5.25 USD... for 18 eggs.I normally get extra large eggs, but I just got some extra extra large eggs for 5.25$ Canadian. A dozen.
Which is about what I was paying in Chicago back in '22. I remember Roundy's (Mariano's/Kroger's house brand) 18 Large Brown eggs was USD $4.99 before tax.
As an egg-lover, this is quite the fresh hell.
Time to start putting up those trump 'i did this' stickers in supermarkets untill they ban me again.
Choosing egg prices as your campaign slogan during an H5 endemic was already a pretty bad move and then you topped it with tariffs lol
Why does it feel like I'm reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don't get why anyone cares this much.
It's because eggs are one of the more universal food items. Their price sort of shows how well the economy is doing so it's a nice gauge on that sort of thing.
If they find out that you can just not buy eggs and your life doesn't really change all that much, it's gonna be crazy for the chicken period enjoyers of the world.
People don't care about how badly chicken are treated or the amount of feed they require, they just want domething tasty to eat, all for themselves.
Because people are broke and eggs are a cheap source of protein?
*were a cheap source of protein.
Thank goodness the Orange turd is right on this in the front lines of tossing paper towels at people!
Clearly the solution is to ban trans people from existing
And as a bonus for banning trans people, they think they'll go to heaven for being good little bigots for god.
We got chickens when facing an egg crisis here in NZ. Lovely little animals. It's been nice being able to look after and care for these creatures, knowing they are living the good life whilst consuming their eggs. Much more useful than my dumb dog.
"Knowing they are living the good life whilst consuming their eggs" is something I never thought I would hear. Anyway, are they easy to care for? I am assuming you have a big backyard where you can set them free safely.
Yes, but isn’t the upkeep of chickens pricey? People I know that raise them say it is. I don’t have chickens, so I’m not sure. Maybe it’s different in America?
If eggs were 6/dozen, and prices rose to 10/dozen... that's already a 40% increase.
so like....
yeah. I'd take that bet.
what even is math
you're right. it's actually a 66% increase. Still. point stands. it's a bet I'd win.
… except it’s not.
$6 * 1.40 = $8.40
So these monsters are screwing us on the price of eggs and the math on the price of eggs!
Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.
Yeah, I am not vegan, but a tofu scramble is vastly preferable to scrambled eggs. So much tastier. Although on could argue you could add all those ingredients to scrambled eggs and it is pretty good too.
Don't forget a light dust of brewers yeast and a couple of shakes of tobacco or whatever your favorite vinegar based hot sauce is.
There going to hit a dollar an egg some places in Seattle at this rate
$0.75 at the Fred Meyers already, it's already getting ridiculous.
I switched everyone to oatmeal breakfasts and leftovers in flour tortilla. Haven't had complaints. I also have done mild( half a jalapeno for flavor) chilaquiles in a torta, or sub sandwich bread, for a savory breakfast.
I use avocado for creamyness and use whatever protein leftovers I have.
Can you buy egg futures? Because that's one heck of an APR!
Don't worry, shit is already priced in. Even if it goes up, you still won't make money.
Now the minimum wage will be measured in eggs
In other news, you can have hens in your back yard!
Then you can have bird flu for free too.
We need to switch to farming non-avian eggs.
Mammals ain't gonna stop eating dinosaur ovum any time soon.
