They've been dropping really fast. From two weeks ago to last week they dropped from over $4 to like under $3 at the Aldi around here.

It was just a temporary spike due to bird cullings. It might happen again with bird flu still being a problem, but the price spikes should only last as long as it takes to get a new generation of egg laying hens going.

I know right, I was pretty surprised to see such a good price on eggs

At one point during the pandumic Golden hen was 79 cents. Then they soared to $4.89. Last time I bought they were around $2.70.

Nashville. I just looked at the website and they are now $2.55 per dozen so they seem to still be trending down a little.

$2.19/doz. yesterday at the Aldi near me (Minneapolis, MN). They were nearly $5/doz. just a few weeks ago.

The biggest egg supplier summed up. Claiming a non existent shortage

What if they tried to be clever and just had the sign read 'menopause'.

Makes me think there was a recall and they are just hanging on to the stuff until they get the all clear that the recall doesn't affect them. It looks like an Aldi or one of those small places where they have no where else to stick the eggs and keep them cold.

Better safe than sorry is a good tactic in my book. This could definitely be the case. I can imagine they would write "maybe contaminated eggs" as a sign as people will associate that with these eggs even though they maybe won't.
