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.

Everything under Trump has gone higher not lower! The Economy is Tanking under Trump.
If only Kamala had won, right?
Terri; care to show the class your work?
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!
I do agree. The comments on this site can be entertaining, enlightening, infuriating, and oftentimes breathtaking in their savagery. My only wish is that the WordPress comments engine would allow edits to be made after pushing the button. Even the most grammatically fastidious amongst us make silly and consequently uncorrectable errors which we would like to fix. You just can’t proof your own work, especially when insomnia strikes at 2 AM.
Or when you’re sending your message out on an iPhone with a 2.5”x4” screen wearing 1.75 readers. Clearly your college indoctrinated. Notice I didn’t say educated.??
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.
You must have a weak 401K. Is it being administered by the Eskimo Mafia? Everyone else holdings have been restored to at or above levels compared to Jan19, 2025
Or re you prevaricating – a frequent symptom of TDS.
Not if you hold Techs.
Whidbey,
You need to diversify dog, don’t you know that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket!
Diversify.
Only dummies and government workers out all their “eggs” in one basket ..
My investments are up 11% from 12 months ago. I got one stock that’s up 35%.
Dawg; I third the advice not to put all your eggs in one basket, Spread them around to us like the good Socialist you are.
Never heard a peep outa you when your hero Joe lead the inflation race with double digit inflation for the majority of his term while sleeping on the Delaware beach.
Yup.
The Left are prevaricators and gas lighters.
It’s all they have …
The #TibetanPlateauJoe regime ordered the destruction of tens of millions of layer hens due to alleged risk of bird flu outbreak after the election debacle of week 1 november. Can’t blame the shortage and resultant scarcity price increase on President Trump.

Sebastian?? Paging Sebastian!!
Ha ha Unfortunately he will weigh in shortly. Always entertaining.
Walmart has announced due to the Trump tariffs they will be raising prices. I was shocked at the number of red hats shopping at Costco. I thought they avoided them for diversity reasons?
Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Why does everyone think they should be cheap? Nobody complains about the high price of steak or fresh fish. As a backyard chicken raiser, I’ve seen the cost of feed soar in 2025, to the point where I’m considering bagging the whole thing. Comparatively, the price of grocery store eggs are very reasonable.
Lest we not forget the Bird Flu hysteria that was released upon us as soon as the governmental underbelly knew that they’d ridden the COVID horse into the ground and no one was buying into their lies any longer. Add in the chicken farms that were made to cull millions of chickens because of said flu, and several chicken farm infernos (do a search)… in short, IMHO, a lot of this egg crisis was man made and government controlled. Just sayin’.
Conspiracy theorists crack me up. No facts but a lot of “IMHO”. Bird Flu caused prices to go up. But hey, if RFK, jr says the bird flu is a bunch of hooey, would you be ok feeding your kids eggs from chickens infected by the flu? That would be fine with me. Just label them so that leftist radicals who believe in science have a choice.
Or people could stop being manipulated by fear and live intelligently. When the food prices are up, wait until they go down. Eat less. Look at all the fattys around our city, people can do better.
I just bought eggs, at a pretty good price from Costco. Stay away from Red Apple as they price gouge the hell out of their customers. People with snap can make better decisions about how much they spend as well. Just because they have government handouts, does not mean they should spend frivolously. Stay away from fast food restaurants.
Eat more vegetables. Grow a garden. Don’t purchase unnecessary and unhealthy sodas and candy.
So many better choices to be made than to live in a state of fear.
DougE – C’mon now, leftist radicals who believe in science are about as rare as hen’s teeth! LMAO!
