Expect record-high egg prices for most of the year

(CNN) — Americans can continue to expect high prices for eggs this year, new estimates show, due to the ongoing avian flu outbreak and inflation.

Egg prices are estimated to increase about 20% in 2025, compared to about 2.2% for food prices in general, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s price outlook. Beef, coffee and orange juice are among groceries with higher prices, but eggs are uniquely impacted by the aggressive strain of avian flu, which has strained supply.

2. Of course we will,

The MSM hammered the story.
I remember gas shortages, grocery shortages, and now eggs . there's always a shortage.
Its a cycle, im old, I've seen it, it's fairly simple,
The rich, get richer, they control us, until we ,as people fight back.
Friend, there's always a shortage, so the rich can get, richer.

3. Karma time. Maga sold our country to the Nazis because eggs cost too much.

Eggs will never be cheap again.

4. I bought eggs yesterday for $4.99 a dozen

They were the least expensive and were large brown eggs. These were the least expensive. Extra large white eggs were $8.99-$11.99!

We’re on the Pennsylvania/New York state line on the upper Delaware River. We mostly shop at a local small supermarket chain that is employee owned and operated. The butcher, produce and dairy products are almost all locally sourced so it’s a great store.

I’m not a big egg lover but I understand the metric. It’s similar in NYC where the price of a slice of pizza is a nearly perfect barometer of the local economy.

When reached for comment IQ, 45-47= -2 said, "We would love to get those prices lower, but the egg farmers are Republicans and those bastards can't stop being greedy."
