My local Super Walmart today. Empty shelves. Kroger for the win. 18 eggs for $7.50.

I haven’t been able to find eggs all week. I guess the one upside is that my brownie consumption has gone way down.

Hard boiled egg or liquid egg only?
Might be time to change to war time recipes (1910 to 1945).

Where is this at? My store is stocked, and the price has finally dropped from $14 to $11 for an 18 pack.

I’m in VA and I saw eggs everywhere but they’re definitely pricey. I’m paying $5 for a dozen of organic eggs and they didn’t let me buy more than 1 pack

I went food shopping today (NE Pennsylvania) and there were some eggs but the shelves were mostly bare.

My store had eggs. Ended up buying med organic bc they were cheaper than the lrg regular ones. The med were the same size as the large ones and 1.50 less and organic to boot.

Eggs are plentiful near me. Prices aren’t awesome but we have them!

Vegans have been enjoying baked good for decades without using eggs. Maybe it’s time to start trying out new baking techniques.
You can buy a vegan egg substitute OR use ground flax seeds as well.
Guess it’s time to live like our grandparents did during the Great Depression. They survived. So can we. But also…we need to fight against this bs and take back our country. But, yeah…eggs.

Avian flu is destroying some flocks. Where is this? In my state so far it’s only hit one flock and (we think) wild ducks and geese.

Ours have been $8/dozen, but always available (thus far anyway). I think Costco’s 18 count were like $11/13, but only the 2 dozen count crates were available (forgot how much). Central CA.
I keep hearing about people buying out the egg stock, but haven’t seen it personally yet. I feel like once the price drops again people might start buying more.

Not in America but its been flooding a lot where I am and all the food trucks can’t get through the roads. A bit hard to make shortcrust with no flour or butter.

Just moved from the US to Canada midway through last year and is it bad to say I am a little relieved. (And extremely sad)

I have a daughter with a severe egg allergy and here are my favorite subs. As a note, HIGHLY recommend The Elements of Baking by Kat Cermelj for easy replacements that you probably already have in your pantry.
For non-sponge cakes with a high oil content (pound cake, traditional birthday cakes) I like Kat’s method where for each egg you add 20g (2½ tablespoons) of flour (true for wheat flour and gluten-free flour blend), 30g (2 tablespoons) of whole milk or unsweetened plain or Greek-style yogurt (true for dairy and dairy-free ingredients), ¼ teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
For quick breads I personally prefer a straight flax or chia egg if only to add a modicum of fiber to what is essentially breakfast cake.
Aquafaba of any variety (chickpea and cannellini are my go to, but light red kidney beans are also good) works great for meringue/anything you’d whip egg whites for (my primary use is royal icing, which ends up tasting like marshmallow when you use aquafaba and is always enjoyed). I also prefer this for roll out cookies that need to keep their shape but you can also use 40g milk for each egg removed + 10g cornstarch per 120g (1 cup) flour in the dough if you’re not an aquafaba person.
Banana works for brownies but you can definitely taste it so I like applesauce instead.
For cookies that spread during baking (like chocolate chip or peanut butter), use 50g milk or plain yogurt for each egg (or 35g for each egg white, or 15g for each egg yolk)
I’ll edit if I think of anything else!!!

Christ! Just like his last presidency with no ass wipe on the shelf. Seems like Groundhog Day all over again.

Cansdian here, Grade A Large eggs have been CAD $8.99 for a 30 count for the last 3 or 4 months at our Costco, that’s USD $2.52/dozen.
Of course that’s under our evil marketing boards, not your wonderful free market economy. And if you like the price of our eggs, can I interest you in single payer health care?

My chickens are cranking even thru sub freezing temps. I’m poor and depressed but fuckin A at least I got eggs.

Where’s this at? Eggs are normal priced where we are and the only places that have a small shortage seem to be huge chain stores.

Sheesh seems like Gaston needs more 5 dozen eggs these days.

I was told egg prices were a day 1 fix. So……

It’s ironic that some people voted against their best interests because of the high cost of eggs. Now look at us.
