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 $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
If eggs were 6/dozen, and prices rose to 10/dozen… that’s already a 40% increase.
so like…
yeah. I’d take that bet.
what even is math
you’re right. it’s actually a 66% increase. Still. point stands. it’s a bet I’d win.
Sucks for Americans. I got a dozen extra extra large eggs in Canada for 5$ 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 managed to find a dozen for $4.97 yesterday. It’s the best I’ve been able to find in some time.
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.
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.
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?
Thank goodness the Orange turd is right on this in the front lines of tossing paper towels at people!
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
Now the minimum wage will be measured in eggs
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.
That’s nice.
Last time I bought eggs I ended up throwing them away because I didn’t eat them. I forgot about them.
So ya I pretty much never eat eggs unless it’s a special occasion.
They could rise to $100 for all I care.
Hey everyone, this guy thinks the movie is about him.
