Aldi near Akron, OH is $4.89 for regular, $5.45 for cage-free, and $5.65 for organic cage free. Still nearly triple what they used to be, though the gap between the regular and cage-free used to be much bigger. Also, ALDIs "Large" eggs have been on the low side of "Large" and the high side of "Medium" (there's a bit of an overlap on the size charts), where they eggs are noticeably smaller now. There are lots of farms around here that produce eggs, so maybe that's why we haven't been hit quite as hard as some areas.
There's a farmer we get raw milk from ($2.50 a gallon but we have to fill up our own milk jugs from their tank), and he used to charge $2.50 for eggs. We should check with him because I doubt he would gouge us just because prices have gone up everywhere else.
This "bird flu" thing sounds either made up or exaggerated to me.
