Eggs are ridiculously expensive. The only one who didn’t jack the price up to ridiculous amounts was Sprouts. Ralph’s (Kroger) has the cheap white ones for $10/dozen
I suspect Egg prices are much higher in Cali. I haven't see any here higher tht about $8 per dozen and those were the fancy organic, free range, XL eggs at Whole Foods. But, if you can find them, regular eggs are around $4 or $5. The issue here is largely about availability. There were only 3 dozen eggs in the store when I went this weekend.
