The availability and price of eggs have been a national talking point recently. Whether you prefer them scrambled or sunny side up, everyone’s got eggs on the brain. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price of eggs in February of 2024 was $3 per dozen. In 2025, the average price rose up to $5.90—an increase of nearly 97%. Thankfully, egg prices have settled back down in mid 2026 and are now back to around $2 per dozen. Even so, a single unintentional crack is costly.
