No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Well, they're obviously normal price now, since it was all Bidens fault, and had nothing to do with poultry diseases.
Well this was definitely an entirely US problem and didn't affect any other countries. Eggs are totally a normal price and easily available here in Australia.
Trump won’t let a little poultry disease be a bother. Hell he basically ignored an entire pandemic.

It's 3.39€ for 10 (medium?) organic/free-range eggs in Germany... Or $4.26 converted to dollar a dozen (including taxes).
Around £3 in the UK. Sounds about right.
Edit:
The above is free range. Caged eggs are cheaper, £2.15 for 15 eggs in Asda.
I'll just note that !AskUSA is a thing. That said holy fuck eggs are expensive in America. I buy those for two bucks.
I got a 404 error with Boost (the app) with your link. Is it this one? !AskUSA@discuss.online
I didn't actually link it so thanks. Yeah that's the one.
$7.42 from Walmart, $10.65 for the ones I get (Vital Farms). This is from Colorado, USA.
Can confirm these prices
4,20 CAD so around 3 usd. EDIT: Hey the US part wasn't there when I replied! Was it?
$6.50/dozen for the regular eggs. Surprisingly, only $10/dozen for free range 18pack. This is in Idaho at Albertsons (not the cheapest but not a high end grocery store)
$8 Canadian for a dozen fully free range chicken eggs from the farmer that raises them at a farmers market.
Between 4.67 (cheapo plain large white) and 10.02 (Golden D Large Hyperorganic) for a dozen near Vancouver.
Costco's free range 24 pack is 12.49 which I think is probably what most people are getting.
Also, all prices are CAD.
Just saw it was a USA question, I'm leaving it up for some international context
In the Netherlands. A dozen of eggs from Aldi € 2.68 = $ 2.82
They can be more expensive at other shops if bio etc
Yep. About €3 from the supermarket. Or about €6 fresh from the farm shop, but they are XL and often have a double yolk.
$6.99 if i want local, $4.29 for store brand, $8.79 for Nellie's Free Range.
One month ago: ~$3.29
Yesterday ~$5.49
For 18 eggs: ~$7.19
They only have grade A eggs that come in the fancy compressed paper boxes so that's what I normally get. Though eggs have been getting harder and harder to find since they've been struggling to restock them.
I was curious and checked while shopping today. There weren't any, just a bare shelf.
As of this moment: $5.49 for 12 large brown.
Last week I was able to get $4.49 for 12 large cage free.
Bird flu is obviously influencing prices quite a bit lately.
I know you said USA, but maybe an interesting data point: €2.28 or $2.38 in Catalonia, Spain.
Aldi (usually the cheapest near me) SoCal Saturday January 25, 2025
39.55 for sixty eggs 7.92 for twelve
Holy fuck, that's about 3x what free range eggs cost in Vancouver.
Just paid 3.99 at Aldi in Philadelphia. Limit 2
5 ish dollars for a dozen. I'm not sure exactly, a family member has employee discount.
US mid-Atlantic: Pricing is elevated, but strange; some eggs that are usually higher cost now cost less than the typically lower cost eggs. For example (all for dozen large eggs):
Store brand, conventional: $6.93
Store brand, cage free: $4.95
Store brand, organic free range: $4.59
Eggland's Best (premium brand): $4.99
I was just recently in Japan and decided to go to a proper grocery store. A dozen eggs grade A was about $1.80 USD or 278 yen.
$8.99 - a Safeway in the bay area
$5.59 for a dozen extra large cage free organic in the Midwest.
$5.75 - SW Michigan
When I first arrived in the usa from the uk, I was expecting crazy prices for eggs. It was less than 6$ for a dozen at target
Costco, Minnesota; 18ct large $5.49
Usd$2.70 South of Mexico, farmers market
$4.99 brown dozen large at sprouts [almost always sold out] $7.99 large at walmart
In Sjælland, Denmark: 3.7 USD if you buy nice, organic, local eggs. In Argentina, maybe 2USD. But they are not organic.
$4.58 near Pittsburgh, PA
3.50 at Aldi
Cheapest is $5 dozen here the lower West side of Michigan
$6.49 from Giant near Philly today, and somehow still sold out. Severe inventory issues...
Chicago, $5.15, Aldi
$4.17 Walmart
