As a Canadian I was quite surprised to see your eggs so expensive.
The discussions about egg prices relates to the fact that eggs have been varying degrees of unusually expensive over the past couple years due to outbreaks of bird flu that have killed – or caused the killing of – a lot of chickens.
In September 2020, a dozen eggs in the US averaged $1.35. There’s been some inflation since then, but that’s still no more than about $1.64 in 2024 dollars.
But since then, there have been some very large increases, and a lot of price volatility.
