The Left has obsessed about the price of eggs, which soared to record prices during President Joe Biden’s presidency and which became a stump speech topic of Donald Trump, the candidate, who said he would bring the price down.
Eggs across the United States have indeed decreased by $2.45 a wholesale dozen, or 42.25% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (derivative trading at TradingEconomics.com) that tracks the wholesale benchmark market.
But first the prices soared: US eggs had reached an all time high of $8.17 in March.
The national average retail price for a dozen large Grade A eggs in April 2025 was approximately $6.23, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In some places around the country, the price has dropped to around $3.40 a dozen in late April.
At Carrs in Anchorage, a dozen eggs can now be found at $3.99 ($9.49 organic). Costco Anchorage has them at 18 for $6.07 and $9.58 for 24-count carton. Smaller communities and those off the road system, of course, see higher prices, which is why it is not uncommon to see someone boarding a jet in Anchorage and heading for Bethel, Nome, or Kotzebue, with a several dozen eggs as their carry-on luggage.
