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.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

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.

All the downvotes are from bakers
And I thought $6 was expensive.
I know you said USA, but maybe an interesting data point: €2.28 or $2.38 in Catalonia, Spain.

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.
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.
Woah I thought the Euro was more. Did it drop in value compared to the dollar recently?

There was a bit of an upswin for the dollar since nov 5... weirdly, not sure how that guy inspires confidence
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
$7, WA.
i buy my eggs from Janice down the street, $2/dz plus i bring her my table scraps to feed her chickens.
I was just recently in Japan and decided to go to a proper grocery store. A dozen eggs grade A was about $1.80 USD or 278 yen.
Like 6$
Was 3$ a month ago
About $5.50 for a dozen of the brown, non-organic ones. Kinda middle-tier. This is central texas btw.
Similar pricing in SE Michigan
Chicago, $5.15, Aldi
In Sjælland, Denmark: 3.7 USD if you buy nice, organic, local eggs. In Argentina, maybe 2USD. But they are not organic.
This is usually the cheapest one at my store. woodman's, madison, wi:
American Midwest, my small city, a dozen eggs are about $5.50 – $7
Seattle $5.99 in town, $4.99 outside the city, $5 farm signs by the road.
Oregon valley is 4.25 for grade A from costco and winco was 4.50. Its up about 0.50 in the last few weeks.
Good thing the orange one will fix those prices soon by doing a something at some point...
Side note, WTF is up with diesel? 30 cent increase in 2 days.
So, we've got a range.
The cheapest set of generic eggs is the Penny Smart Grade A Large Eggs for $3.99, but my local grocery also has another set of eggs that appears to be equivalent in quality from the store brand for $4.99. There's also cage free for $7.99 and another cage free that looks to be identical from the same brand for $8.69. Generic organic (cage/etc not listed) in the plastic container is $6.99.
Western Nebraska, basically Wyoming: non organic are in the range of five bucks at the grocery store. Organic is anywhere from 6 to 8. I get locally-raise ones for 3.50 a dozen at my mechanic's shop :) Just have to pay cash.
This economy is stupid.
All prices in USD in case that wasn’t clear
Texas. $7.50, but I buy the organic, pasture-raised, fair trade, small batch, artisinal eggs where the chickens are all partial owners of the egg-laying co-op. It's a chicken coop co-op.
The price has gone up significantly, like $2 or more, since last month. I don't remember what it was exactly, but I've never spent $7.50 for fucking eggs.
Regular cage-free was like $5.50. Didn't see any of the normal sad chicken eggs last time I went.
I know it says USA but thought would be interesting to see the prices around the world.
UK, Asda, 12 Medium Free Range Eggs costs £2.70 or $3.37.
Edit: I could find cheaper that are not “free range”.
$3.99 Sprouts in CO
Edit: Also, $3.23 USD at Superstore in Calgary, AB
5 or 6 dollars, depending on where you're shopping. my parents have chickens though so I grab a dozen when I'm home sometimes.
CA, store brand large brown x12 - $8.99
Australia - $AUD 5.19 inc tax ($USD 3.27) - Aldi
$4.99 a dozen large standard at the closest full grocery store near me in the Midwest, 7.49 free range large
Here in northern Italy 10 medium eggs (free range) go for 1,99€. At a normal discount supermarket.
$4.30 / dozen. Atlanta, GA.
Somewhere around 7 to 10 dollars dozen.

$1000
Depending on the type, my grocery store is anywhere from $5-9 per dozen. Baking is getting expensive yo!
$8 in Utah
Denver suburb, $7.99 per 18 A-large
I need to replace 4 chickens this spring, I expect more people buying them this year. Anyone who is allowed to keep chickens should consider it, IMO. Stupid easy to care for and if they get to run around and eat bugs the eggs are far superior.
E: 36hrs later they were $11 for the 18 eggs
Still not enough that I'm willing to get chickens. And probably still not as much as the real cost including currently externalized pollution costs. About $8 for the good ones. Around $5 for the factory farmed ones, but they are often sold out, the supply right now isn't meeting the demand.
