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.
Try this delicious Sunny Dandelion Eggs recipe this weekend as you weed your garden beds this weekend, and combine those dandelions with some some far-more-affordable eggs:
Everything under Trump has gone higher not lower! The Economy is Tanking under Trump.
But… But! BUT!!! Orange man bad!
Part of the reason for the high prices is because of demand. The thoroughly debunked narrative of the American Medical Association that eggs are harmful to your heart health has led many Americans to embrace eggs as a superfood that, even at today’s prices, is still one of the cheapest sources of protein available!
Well what happened in anchorage AK ?
I concur that they came down by about 40%. I wish I could have linked this article on the Fox site where some troll called me a liar. I suspect they go to Fox because leftie sites don’t allow comments.
BTW, thank you, Suzanne, for allowing comments on your news site!
Last week I traveled to Juneau for business. Soon after arriving at the airport and getting a rental car, I drove to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. The first thing I saw when I entered the restaurant was a sign telling me I would be charged an additional 50 cents for each egg I ordered. An omelet at $15.00 would cost an additional $1.50 for the three eggs that would be used. I was shocked to see this. And I wondered whether this restaurant (very near the airport) was engaged in price-gouging or highway robbery?
So, I decided to drive to McDonalds for coffee and an Egg McMuffin where prices are consistent and fair.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’d sure prefer that the 20% that’s been knocked off my 401(k) since Trump’s tariff clown show be restored than the price of eggs return to a reasonable level.
And by the way, the cheapest eggs I could find at my local supermarket this morning was almost 8 dollars per dozen. Must be that your hens up there are way more productive than the ones we raise in these parts.
