Eggs

Help me understand eggs.
Pre-Biden, a dozen eggs at our Aldi ran between 68 cents and 75 cents.
This past week, they were 3.19.
Fuel has doubled in price. Feed has doubled in price, transportation has doubled in price. HVAC has doubled in price. For the most part, everything going into an egg has doubled in price.
Thus, a dozen eggs should cost a buck and a half.
But it's double that.
Learn me.
 
Aldi in town had eggs for about $2.50 this week.

I'm guessing that maybe eggs are subject to local pricing fluctuations from local producers? Probably don't ship them across the country? Just a guess.
 
The price of eggs has had some pretty wild fluctuations around here. I've heard it blamed on bird flu and egg salad season.... pretty much anything.

I don't think it's possible to make sense of price changes. Onions recently doubled. I looked at USDA shipping/harvest reports and they were the same or better than last year.

Just don't bother to believe half of 'search' results as they are AI generated and will include every possible reason for the price increase of Anything....
 
Eggs have settled down to about $2.50-$3.00 a dozen here in St Louis. We were paying $5.60 a few years ago.

Crumpy now buys local free range from a co-worker. I'm not sure what we are paying because it is between friends, and actually irrelevant. They are fresh as hell and huge.
