I am not going to stop buying healthy and or high protein food because of cost. I will buy them on sale when possible and I will adjust my budget when necessary but eggs are still a fairly low cost source of protein andhealthy fat.
Vital Farms eggs are fantastic. I can't get them, anymore, because Kroger decided to leave our town a few years ago.

Wholesale egg prices have collapsed according to this story. I’m not surprised.

Look at the price of chicken right now - very cheap.
I paid $2.27/dozen yesterday at Aldi.

Chicken and pork prices are reasonable. Westchester County has yet to see a decrease in the cost of eggs, but Rockland County in Aldis has to just under $3/doz.

A dozen eggs where I am ranges from $4.49 to $6.69 and that's just for size Large.

OMG,
Oh how I wish I could provide eggs for all of you....my chickens are free range only feed them good stuff and the eggs are awesome...but I get way more than we can use. It's okay, I give some away and donate to the homeless shelter but would love to donate to y'all.
I have the best, friendliest hens and have seriously thought about bringing one in particular in to be a "house chicken". She just follows me and seeks me out, it's so cute.

I continue to buy the really good eggs which range from five fifty to seven bucks a dozen. I won't buy regular eggs. but for those who do, a dozen is around two fifty in my area.
