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.

So the organic food at whole foods is better quality than any other grocery store.....good to know.
“People who like feeling superior to people like you”
According to post #20 you are absolutely correct. LoL!
Twitter users confused about eggs as a ‘luxury item’ it’s one of Biden’s weapons obey or else.
About $5 a dozen here in Minnesota. However, I’m finding free range brown eggs are a buck cheaper. I’ll use those without a problem. However the price of bacon is declining…paid $3/pound last week from nearly $5 before Christmas. Of course soon we may have to cook our bacon and eggs on a wind and solar powered range that only works when the sun is shining and the wind is just right provided we aren’t charging our government approved electric minicar at the same time.
Stop eating them and the price will go down.
They aren’t necessary for a good diet, much as I like them.
“I believe egg prices are extremely local.”
We are surrounded by small farms with signs: “Fresh eggs”. Supply not a problem, prices are high but beat the grocery stores easily.
“Organic” is a farce.
Just was in an Aldi in Des Moines, Iowa, suburb. Iowa produces billions of eggs.
Aldi price is $4.69/doz.
And they might not be making any profit on that.
I paid $4.00 a dozen last week at Aldi. A little over a year ago, I paid 89 cents for a dozen eggs at Aldi.
I’m going to have to start eating beans on toast for breakfast, like the English do. Looks like the price of an egg McMuffin will have to soar.
