Stop making political eggs
So many of you keep saying Trump or Biden mad eggs cost more or blame a political party on the price increase.
JUST STOP. You sound about as smart as a chicken.
Why Are Eggs So Expensive? A Look at Rising Prices
Over the past 20 years, egg prices have soared, often outpacing inflation. In 2005, a dozen eggs cost $1.22—by 2024, that number had jumped to $4.15. What’s behind the price hikes?
Biggest Reasons for Rising Egg Prices
2005-2007: Higher Feed Costs – Corn and soybean prices rose, making chicken feed more expensive.
2008: Economic Recession – The financial crisis disrupted supply chains, increasing food costs.
2015: Bird Flu Outbreak – Millions of hens were culled, reducing supply and pushing prices up.
2020: COVID-19 – Panic buying and supply chain issues caused price spikes.
2022-2024: More Bird Flu & Inflation – Another bird flu outbreak, rising fuel costs, and inflation drove prices to record highs.
What’s Next?
Prices may drop if bird flu outbreaks slow and feed costs stabilize. But with ongoing supply chain challenges and market fluctuations, eggs could stay expensive for a while. Shoppers can save by buying in bulk, watching for sales, or considering alternative protein sources.
Egg prices are a reminder that even simple groceries can be hit hard by global events!
