Depending upon where you are at, they can be. Here on the Left Coast,
typically they are not. When I lived in Oklahoma they were cheep, er,
cheap. ;-)

When not on sale, the typical cost for store bought, plain AA large (not
cage free, organic or free range) run about $2.50/ doz. on average. The
cage/range free, organics can cost a $1-$2 more per dozen. We have an
"egg guy" that we purchase from exclusively and our jumbo eggs that we
get from him are $5.50/dozen.

I think the passage of Prop 2 is going to jack the prices of eggs up
even more here.
