Twitter users appeared disgusted at the rising price of eggs and called it “ridiculous” as some labeled them a “luxury item.”
Multiple users noted the high cost of a carton of eggs at Whole Foods and posted photos showing prices as high as $11.49.
“I never thought EGGS would become a luxury item,” conservative commentator Mike Cernovich wrote.
The price of eggs has tripled in certain places across the U.S. in the last year, according to CBS News. The price per carton surged as high as 49.1% in November, according to the Consumer Price Index.
“$11.49 for eggs at Whole Foods,” tweeted former UFS fighter Jake Shields.
Other photos posted to Twitter showed empty refrigerators at different grocery stores and noted that eggs were “completely sold out.”
Genevieve Roch-Decter, the CEO of Grit Capital, a financial media company, said eggs were the “new bitcoin” and posted a graph showing the average price of eggs skyrocketing.

Bird flu has wiped out millions of laying hens. It’s 90-100% fatal and highly contagious. Eggs are approaching $5 a dozen in my part of Texas.
Who the heck shops at whole foods? It’s is arguably the most expensive grocery store in my town......far surpassing our Publix chain, which is a little high itself but nothing like WF.
The few times I’ve walked into whole foods I walked out empty-handed and went straight to Publix.
BTW eggs are about $5.50 a dozen where I am.
Also, we have begun to supplement eggs with
liquid egg whites.
Bird Flu has forced egg producers to kill entire flocks. The price of chicken meat has also gone up, but broiler hens can be raised from chicks to broiler in 7 to 9 weeks, where egg-laying hens need 18-22 weeks before they begin laying.
So broiler flocks can be replaced much more quickly than egg laying flocks can.
A special added bonus that increased the cost of eggs prior to all this bird flu decimation was California requiring only eggs from free range chickens to be sold, which increased the cost of raising and keeping laying chickens for producers.
Well, in that eggs are about as sensible an investment vehicle as bitcoin is, I guess they have a point.
“Who the heck shops at whole foods?”
People who like feeling superior to people like you.
The 2 lb Quacker Oats by me as of last night was
$9.59
Be very careful what you eat now. Know the source. Know it hasn’t been Gene edited. The globalist have some very scary ideas about putting things in your food and genetic alterations.
We only get about 3 eggs a day right now, but as soon as it warms up we will be back to 12 a day...

When you destroy the fossil fuel system, the price of seeds, fertilizer, feed and gas for tractors double and triple. Why, because it involves oil. The cost of oil, supply chain, gas prices are all through the roof on Biden’s watch. Are you better off than you were 3 years ago?
18 large were $8.89 at Kroger 3 weeks ago in the Phoenix area.
Winco, Walmart under $5, I guess some folks don’t want to shop with smelly people like me, lol
I believe egg prices are extremely local. Was just at the grocery store yesterday and a dozen are $4.99.
This is what you get with free-range chickens….picking up viruses from wild birds who feed along with the chickens.
$8 for 18 here in NC. I have a coop ready and will get some chicks this late winter.
Not only that, but Whole Foods? What did they expect?
Wow. We have seriously gone full looney.

I shop there because they have the best of everything.
Everyone has their priorities for spending.
I choose organic, fresh and highest quality.
