It's been a week, so here, take another egg poll

[conuly]

Note: All eggs should be large unless those are unavailable, and not cage-free, pasture-raised, or organic unless, again, those are the only ones left.

Poll #32692 Just egging me on now

I wanted to ask the first question in steps of $0.50, but nothing doing.

$5.40 Australian, which is $3.43 US at today's currency exchange rates

[fred_mouse]

Either you are looking at Woollies, or something hinky is going on, because Coles absolutely would sell me a dozen for $5

[lilysea]

I am looking at the Coles website for home delivery - maybe the home delivery prices are higher than the in-store prices?

[fred_mouse]

I'm on the Coles website, which I assumed was the delivery. Possibly it thinks I'm somewhere other than where I actually am? Which implies that elsewhere in the country one can get a dozen eggs for $5.

[lilysea]

Yes, there was an article on ABC News online recently about how grocery prices for both Coles and Woolies vary state-by-state, even for capital cities.

[lilysea]

This is the article I was talking about

Data shows supermarket prices vary state to state

Thank you

UK 12 x large free range (standard here) eggs for £3-15 = $4 US.

ETA: delivered to my door.

[hafnia]

still $5.69 at Winco; more like $6.99 at Safeway, but they're always way more expensive than everywhere else. Supposedly $3.89 at Trader Joes, but fuck Trader Joes.

[crystalpyramid]

Lol my Trader Joe's had a big sign saying limit one dozen per household and no eggs, last time I was there.

[hafnia]

west coast, rural area. haven't had trouble FINDING eggs, they're just expensive. which is whatever, they were on the way up pre-avian influenza (OR changed laws regarding how chickens can be raised for egg production, and everyone flipped out and responded by raising egg prices, it's a Thing).

I paid $3.93 CDN ($2.77 US) for a dozen large, No Name brand eggs this weekend.

[redbird]

"Ticky" because I haven't been shopping in several days, and the last time Adrian came back from the store she reported that the local Whole Foods was out of all but the most expensive organic egg brands. (Our household egg supply is fine for the moment, in part because we're not making as many frittatas, egg salad, or other egg-heavy meals.)

[topaz_eyes]

We paid $4.15 CAD for a dozen large Grade A eggs yesterday ($2.93 USD).

[hannah]

I answered base on what I paid last Friday at the market.

[archersangel]

$5.46 at wal-mart.

when we were there last week they were mostly sold out. they had some 6 count cartons, a bunch of 18 count & a few 60 count.
my brother was surprise they didn't have an armed guard there in case things got crazy.

[movingfinger]

$3.99 for a dozen free-range brown or white; $5.99 for organic. Most expensive are Oakdell XL eggs, 11.99/dozen.

[historicalmuse]

Eggs? Maybe $2 now.

[moxie_man]

Store brand are $8, which what I clicked. Care-free organic haven't caught up to store brand yet, they remain half that price if you can find a carton of them on the shelf.

[siliconshaman]

£3.98 Uk which is $5.01 as of current exchange rate.

But those are the golden yoke free-range, which are actually cheaper right now as they're on roll-back.

[melannen]

$5.79 storebrand at my local Food Lion (where I usually shop.)

Interestingly, the Giant has pushed their storebrand up to $10/dozen but they (claim to) still have free-range at less than $6.

[armiphlage]

$3.93 Canadian for twelve large eggs at Superstore, or about $2.77 US dollars.

[chomiji]

At this point, we are only buying farmers market eggs, which don't meet a couple of the poll criteria.

[nanslice]

$9.49 at my local Safeway.

[siderea]

I don't even know how to answer this any more. My store's regular house-brand brown large eggs are $8.99/dz, but their house-brand organic are $4.50/dz. Prices are all over the map.

[larryhammer]

I clicked $5, but the TJs price is actually $4.50 this week. They're now limiting this to one dozen per customer, and all other local grocery stories we've checked are in the $7-8 range.

[thekumquat]

£3.15 for 12 large free range eggs in local supermarket - they don't sell cage eggs any more so that's the standard.
Which is $3.98 US.

Luckily bird flu seems to have been short-term, in the last year.
