If you've been to the store recently to buy a package of eggs, you've probably been shocked by the cost. The price of eggs has skyrocketed over the past couple of months to levels never before seen for 11 weeks in a row.

Why are eggs so expensive now?

In November, the cost of eggs increased by 49%. And now we're seeing prices double since Thanksgiving to an average of $5 a dozen (12 pieces). For comparison: in 2018, a pack of eggs at Aldi cost 55 cents, and now it costs $4,99.

The skyrocketing cost of eggs is mainly due to the outbreak of bird flu, which began in February 2022 and steadily affected prices throughout the year. Millions of poultry have died from this disease. Other factors such as higher feed and energy costs for farmers and producers also played a role as inflation affected the situation across the board.
