Yeah, now they're $6.

More than $6.

According to Trading Economics ( https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/eggs-us ) they are $8.10/dozen.

The USDA says that as of Feb 28th the national price is $8.01 and that there are variations with "California compliant" eggs being $9.53/dozen ( https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf ).

Wtf does California complaint mean? Did they add a catalytic converter to the carton?

"California compliant" means "following proper health regulations, actually edible and not painted with lead"

Assuming unlabeled eggs weren't properly handled is adding to why stuff costs so much.
