Adopt me please !
I never look at the prices in Costco since I have way more eggs than I can use. Sometimes we walk by and one of us will say to the other - hey need some eggs?? Then laugh LOL

Why are eggs so expensive?
Three reasons - an increase in holiday demand, higher production costs for farmers and an outbreak of bird flu, a highly contagious virus that can be fatal to poultry such as chickens and turkeys.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Never in my recollection, has this ever been a reason for increases in the price of eggs. As a mater of fact, I would wager that this past Christmas, "holiday demand", was far less than previous years due to the increased costs for everything, with people cutting back. It appears you are simply parroting the spin media.
I would also say the the avian bird flu fear porn is BS. Since there is no physical evidence for anyone to view the supposed 50+ million birds culled. Where are these culled birds? Where are the videos of their destruction as proof? In today's age, on the scale of these birds destruction, if there is no video, or pictorial proof, then it did not happen.

If that's true then it would be across the US, but it's not. It appears to be only in blue states.

Well you’re demonstrably wrong.

In WV eggs are quite high right now.
All I know is that my city is not having an egg problem and prices are coming down on groceries and necessities across the board. Our problem is that because it's a resort town people are buying up properties at exorbitant prices and turning them into expensive vacation rentals, and there's not enough affordable housing for the people who make tourism possible, i.e. the hospitality workers. It's being addressed by the town council, so we'll see what happens.

I think eggs are more of a regional thing.
Zoning should be able to take care of air b&b bullshit. I sure wouldn't want to live beside one.
30A city councils banned AirBNB/etc. Those towns are pretty swanky and the rich people who live there full time don't want drugs and bullshit that goes on with lower end tourists. You either live there full time, or you turn your house into a permanent temporary rental that must abide by city/county regulations as such. My city is the wayward hippie little sister of those towns, but we're growing up and heading the same way.
The problem is housing the hospitality workers, which is the main industry here. Jackson Hole WY had the same problem - the servers and hotel clerks and bartenders and folks who make tourism possible are living in cheap motels because the rentals are priced for rich tourists and workers can't afford them. I should look and see if/how they resolved that issue. Because if you run off the service workers, the tourists will stop coming, and now your whole deal collapses.
So - what do people remember as a "normal" price for eggs? At the local ALDI - they could be on some days, under 1.50 a dozen.
Most times, just under 2 dollars a dozen. Other grocery stores, between 2 and 3.
Ten years of more back, easily remember them as being a dollar or just under a dollar.
THAT is what I can remember.

They were $4.99 on Sunday.
