Eggs are 3 bucks.

Eggs US decreased 2.78 USD/DOZEN or 47.82% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Eggs US reached an all time high of 8.17 in March of 2025. source: USDA
Umm, we are in March of 2025?

I just paid $5.99. where are those numbers coming from?

$5.49 at my local Aldi.

I think the link in OP is the wholesale price per dozen for CASES of eggs. Hopefully that means grocery store prices will start coming down soon. I imagine there's a lag with cycling through older inventory. Or grocery stores will keep their prices high to maximize profits, because that's the American way.

That chart shows wholesale prices. Retail is still close to double that. Yes prices have come down somewhat, but they are not $3/dozen on average. More like $5.50-$6.00
 
They have gone down 5 dollars this month.
Whiskey, I agree with you on things quite often. But real life on this one is wrong. They have gone down a little, but not those inflated numbers. Don't go down the false reports like we dealt with for the past 4 years and the redacted reports 2 months later.

I doubt it’s a false report. It is just showing wholesale prices - not retail.

This is what commodities are being bought at, this isn't something you can fluff like that.

You will continue to see prices go down as stock that was bought higher sells off.

Minor detail... give the OP something to brag about, even though he looks like an idiot! ;) ;) ;) ;)
 
$7.99 in SoCal this past weekend. I'm in North Carolina at the moment and they are $6.99.

I understand grocery stores are keeping the prices up, just reporting what I saw.

Grocery stores will lower prices to draw customers from competitors, because that’s the actual American way.

Looks like spam to me

Price of eggs at the grocery store was fully in line w/ what St Louis FRED posted. $6 or more (even WalMart)
 
I thought the OP was someone that understood the running joke that talking about egg/gas prices is for dumb people……apparently I was wrong.
 
Those are futures contracts. That is effectively what it is costing right now to produce, not what the cost is in the grocery store.

And USDA's numbers from last week are consistent w/ what I've seen at the grocery store

So, OP is FOS again.

You go ahead and try to explain lag and lead times to Joe, id rather put my dick in a vise.

No need. We weren't discussion "futures".
We were discussing "current prices".

Seems like YOU are the one that needs the education on the topic here.
I just bought an 18 pack of eggs yesterday for less than 5 bucks. Thanks Trump!
 
i'm guessing the prices would stay high until egg laying hen populations got back to normal.
Hold your wallets for when the dysfunction in the government caused by trump leads to lack of early detection of bird flu and other viruses that will wipe out farms of chickens. The predictable outcome of governing by chaos and putting people in charge of things they have no business running.

But the bird flu that happened during biden? That was?

Those aren't prices in the grocery stores, what it is showing is there should be a continued decline in the cost. When It takes 4.5 to 6 months before chickens can begin laying eggs, yes you can have spikes in prices if a chickens are killed, but they can be replaced relatively quickly, which is why egg price increases are generally short lived. But Whiskey you already knew that and have never complained about egg prices in the last 2 years amiright?
