Bachelor on the Cheap
The price of eggs has been steadily dropping in February.
Prices are down from peak highs in December and January, where shoppers were paying an average price of about $5 a dozen in the Wichita area. Prices more than doubled in 2022 and the outlook didn’t look much different starting off the new year, but check out how much prices have dropped in less than a month.
Price per dozen, grade A large as of 02/21/2023:
- Aldi – $3.10
- Dillons – $3.29
- Walmart – $3.26
- Whole Foods – $3.79 (cage-free)
That’s quite a drop, making grocery shoppers, bakers, and restaurant owners happy!
Recovery from the bird flu is being cited as the main reason for the drop, but I say we’re being fed a line of crap. You can’t tell me that after losing millions of egg-laying hens to the bird flu over the last couple of years, the population has suddenly exploded and egg production has almost instantaneously shot back up to what it was pre-bird flu. No, the reasons go beyond bird flu. I know a lot of folks don’t care what the real reasons are for the drop, they just care about the better price. But being fed a line of crap is not a good thing.
