The egg shelves were empty in our local Target. With a sign apologizing and saying they are trying to find other vendors. How? There are only so many egg vendors and all stores are trying to contract with them. How are they "going to find" someone else?
I'm getting the same rude awakening feeling as when I went into a store at the beginning of COVID and saw people scrambling for toilet paper and the empty shelves. "Is this COVID for real?" I said at the time. Now, I'm wondering if we at the beginning of critical egg shortages and continuing higher prices? How will this affect the food industry that relies on eggs? Will prices continue to go up? Will Bird Flu spread among human population?
Our Safeway in Oregon was out of them because of Bird Flu problem in December, through Christmas. I haven't tried to get any recently, so I don't know if they are still having an issue, it's not on their weekly sales flyers anymore saying that they don't have eggs, so I assume they do. I just thought I would wait a bit longer.
When this current Avian Flu outbreak has run its course and the chicken population recovers and begins laying again, egg prices will settle down, like always.
Dead chickens don't lay eggs. So the supply is way down and prices are high. There's no politics involved in this.
Google тАЬJust Egg.тАЭ Same taste and texture but more nutrition and protein. I make my daily Beyond Meat sausage and тАЬeggтАЭ breakfast sandwich with it every day.
I just heard on the news that egg prices are going up by .50 to about $6.50 in my area (NY).
Bird flu that forced killing of thousands of chickens. I don't mind. Better than contracting Bird Flu.

Coffee going up to due to climate change-well, Trump pulled out of that so we should be fine!! Not!!!
I had a friend who raised his own chickens. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep the raccoons from raiding his coop and killing the birds, so he gave up.
I used to raise them. It isn't as easy as some people make it out to be.
And it can be expensive....the food and calcium prices will be going up. Also, it takes a lot of water for chickens.

I just spent 9.95 for a dozen eggs in southern california at stater brothers grocery chain.
Need to change grocers? They are 3-5$,in Missouri but higher at Whole Foods
Try Aldi. They tend to be a little less aggressive in price.
The last lot of eggs I bought was ┬г2.20 for 10.
I can check out Aldi tomorrow and report back.
What kind of eggs are you buying for God's sake?!!!
