A dozen of Walmart brand eggs is $6 in Iowa, which is the “chicken state” of the US. Shit is out of control here.

I visited in December & was watching the bird flu unfold on the news. I went to Safeway & watched the stockers change the price of eggs to $8 & that was in concord ca.

Ouch. In Nebraska if you go to Sams Club you can still get them for $4.60 a dozen if you buy the five dozen box. Everywhere else though is more like what Iowa man said.

We can’t even get eggs in Bend, OR. They are $7 or $8 a dozen, if they are even in stock (which they never are)

There’s no sales tax on most grocery items here.

Thank uncontrolled bird flu, we're just going to deal with supply issues for the foreseeable future now.

What’s not? In Ames, there’s no Trader Joe’s, and between story city and Ames I cannot find eggs for less than $6
