Egg Prices (may be regional)

I posted this as a comment in prepper intel but I wanted to share it here as well, because most of the people buying eggs & paying attention to the prices are XX.

I change prices for a grocery store in Charlotte, NC. This Wednesday (tonight, I work overnight) egg prices on every egg we carry are going UP.

And not just .25 or .75. I’m talking dollars. Our regular dozen eggs are $2.49 today. Tomorrow they will be $4.29.

I’m sure we aren’t the only store in which this will be happening, so get eggs before the ad change over at your local store.

Most eggs will give you a shelf life of about 2-3 weeks, on the carton. IDK how long after that you can trust them, but we usually hard boil any we have left at the exp date.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the egg situation & the bullshit we are all about to wade into. The more flocks H5N1 infects, more culls will be necessary, which means disruption in the supply chain and well, you know what happens after that.

Edit: Wow! I just woke up from my nap for work tonight & really appreciated reading all your comments. It’s interesting to compare how things actually are, on the ground across the nation and milk & egg prices is a great way to do that in even in normal times.

Thanks for all the tips on egg alternatives & how to preserve the eggs we have! I look forward to putting these to use.

This is a great community.
