Here in Oklahoma a dozen eggs went from about 89 cents to $2.20. That is up about 250% in three weeks... maybe four.
What is the price in your hometown? Just name the state as I understand some people are still buying eggs less than a dollar still, while others have been paying double the prices since the summer.
Due to lack of news on the situation I find it surprising no one really knows what happened. We hear weather, but "most" of the country does not have bad weather. We hear that corn (typically fed to chickens) is now used for ethanol, but I don't buy that for a second since canned corn is selling for less that it was last year. Then we hear the bird flu and we are exporting eggs. I don't buy that either as it takes a little more than two or three weeks to funnel all those eggs immediately to other markets.
I think if a Toyota Camry went from $20,000 to $50,000 we would have heard about it and a very good reason why it happened.
