Eggs Are Finally Cracking Down in Price

This week, egg lovers have something to cluck about: egg prices are dropping, offering relief to shoppers who’ve been shelling out more at the grocery store. After months of sticker shock in the egg aisle, this dip feels like a sunny-side-up moment. Let’s break down why eggs are getting cheaper, what’s behind the trend, and whether it’s time to stock up.

Why Are Egg Prices Falling?

Egg prices have been on a rollercoaster, largely due to supply chain hiccups and the questionable news of "avian flu outbreaks" that we believe purposely slashed availability.

But this week, several factors are aligning to bring costs down:

1. Improved Supply: Farms are recovering from earlier disruptions.

2. Seasonal Trends: Spring is typically a high-production period for hens, as longer daylight hours boost laying. This natural cycle is helping flood the market with eggs, driving competition among suppliers to lower prices.

3. Lower Feed Costs: Chicken feed, a major expense for egg producers, has seen price drops thanks to steadier grain markets. We are, however, in favor of FREE RANGE chickens like we did in the old days over the big corp farms that are awful for the animals and human consumption with all the grain, chemicals, vaccines, etc that we should not be consuming.

   
   

   

   
   

   How Much Are Prices Dropping?

   While exact figures vary by region, a dozen large Grade A eggs are trending downward. In some areas, prices that peaked at $4-$5 per dozen are now dipping closer to $2.50-$3.50, according to recent grocery data. Discount chains like Aldi and Walmart are leading the charge, with some offering eggs as low as $2.20 per dozen this week. If you’re shopping at premium markets or in urban areas, your savings might be less dramatic, but the trend is clear: eggs are more affordable than they were a month ago.
