In the US, back in 2023, a dozen eggs at Aldi cost $1.35. Before all the bird flu/inflation/corporate greed I would frequently see them for .79 a dozen.

When I was there 2 weeks ago they were going for $5.65

.79 a dozen sounds mad, that’s gotta be battery hens :/

That’s insane. Sounds like your egg prices were being artificially kept low.

  Nope, we just have an abundance of eggs. Plus the fed buys a large amount for vaccines(now that trumps in power. I doubt that’s still happening)

Yep, that jives with my experience too (southeastern US).
