I can't be super-specific on a few levels: I'm not in pricing/merchandising so I don't really have anything more than whatever they put in my ad to go on, fresh products like dairy tend to have varying regional pricing, and I couldn't leak anything specific.

Thanks for all the info but I was just trying to make a joke, since egg prices are such a political symbol, there might even be some classified info about egg pricing and supply.

You're welcome.

(I don't get to talk about my job much... 😅)

...is this.

1. Free range/organic eggs are less affected than battery eggs-- smaller flocks and more space means less spread of the flu. Compare the prices, don't just grab the generic store brand; you might get a kinder egg for the same cost.

(Also look into subs like chia seeds and aquafaba!)

(Note that that's "kinder egg" as in more ethical, not "kinder egg" as in there's a toy in the middle that you probably should not eat.)

2. The last I heard flocks were starting to recover and costs were trending down. This could change if we get another outbreak; it takes about six months to raise a chick to the point where it's laying eggs. (Meat chickens are much faster, which is why chicken meat isn't spiking as much.)

3. This will not be reflected in store pricing immediately. Generally the price you see on the shelf is set weeks ahead of time-- it takes time and labor to set prices in the databases that the registers pull from, print all the circulars and tags, ship them to stores, and put them where they go.

(End thread, but I find it amusing that someone [bot?] likes any post that mentions eggs.)
