Not sure about in the area in general for cost of a dozen eggs, but the
store I shop in actually has EB eggs cheaper at the moment than store
brand, at 2.50 per dozen. I don't eat many eggs.

Free.

The Targets near me just brought in fresh produce and meats. I'm
trying to figure out what they got rid off to gain the considerable
floor space devoted to their expanded grocery department. But
nevertheless, they sent out a coupon to all Target card holders for a
free dozen eggs at the new and improved Target Grocery department.

I pay $2.00 a dozen when I get them from my girlfriend's daughter's
farm.
They are fresh picked that same day. I get them when her hens are
laying.
There's a big difference between store bought eggs and fresh farm
eggs.
The yolks are really dark yellow and taste better then store bought.

Eggs always cost 99cents thats just how it goes.

Is that the regular price or was it a loss leader?
There's no way that even the biggest "farms" could produce them to
retail at that price.

Does it really matter so long as the subject is of interest?

Jumbo eggs are 2.99/doz here.

High prices are likely due to the bird flu, or that would be the excuse given.

There always seems to be some reason for high prices and a reason to
keep them high. For a while it was the cost of fuel and the high cost
of feed because so much grain was being used to produce bio fuels. Bird
flu would have a drastic effect on supply, driving prices up. Give the
farms a few days for a thorough cleaning, the hatcheries would turn out
a new crop of birds in three weeks and then give them 5-6 months to
start producing.

Even so, I just bought a dozen grade A large eggs for $2.50. Adjusting
for inflation that sounds about right.

True, unless the poster wants to open a dialog with someone who no
longer posts, like Christine, or someone who would have to post
from the Great Beyond, like blake.
The price of eggs is of perennial interest -- in my area Eggland's
Best (large) is over $4 a dozen.

Indeed Anyway if an old topic is posted and someone is interested enough
to join in a discussion about it, I don't think it is so bad. But, I guess
that is just me

Five dozen eggs? Suppose you had a family of 6 people,
and used a dozen a day? Sixty eggs wouldn't even last a week.

Yes, I guess we could suppose that. The poster didn't say. It is
anyone's guess if we ever hear from this poster again, much less find
out about the reason for 60 eggs. This person popped up from Google
Groups, replying to a four year old thread about egg prices. <shrug>

WOW! Those are the cheaper ones here. We might be closer to where
they produce them though. There's a huge area of Virginia Beach and
Suffolk where they have chickens.

I have a friend up in Ithaca NY area with an extended family of 14. At
one egg a day per person she'd not make 5 days on that amount. In
fact, she'd make 4 days with not enough left over for eggwashes for
breading and so on.

Whatever. The OP never mentioned an extended family. In fact they
never mentioned any family or anything at all. Just that they bought 60
eggs from a specific dairy for $20.99.

$1.79 for 18 large here in upstate NY... peewees 49¢/doz. I buy the
peewees anytime they're 49¢/doz or less... sometimes they're 39¢/doz.
There are several huge egg farms in the northern Catskills... and I'd
say about 1/3 of the people who live here raise chickens for eggs... a
new family just bought a house down the road and I already saw that
they have a chicken cook, there were two chickens on their front
steps. Somehow chickens know to stay out of the road... all those
jokes about why do chicken cross the road are nonsense, chickens don't
cross roads... my neighor directly across the road raises chickens,
they walk all over his front yard right up to the road on his side but
I've never seen any cross over to this side. Now I can't say the same
about dumb guinea hens, they are run over all the time.

I'll be buying a 5 dozen box tomorrow. Pizzelles take a lot of eggs and
we make a lot of them for Christmas.

When the kids were home we'd buy the 5 doz. packs too. On average I eat
about 6 eggs a week.

Ok, and there is a problem with that? Me, I assume a larger number
means more to feed.

Possibly but a really common sale. I suspect local growers combining
with stores to reduce transport to make it happen.

I think egglands best eggs taste odd. Large eggs are 2.99/doz here too.

I can usually buy peewee eggs for 49¢/doz... they're a great bargain
because two peewees equal one jumbo which translates to buying a dozen
jumbos for a buck... I don't mind having to crack twice as many eggs.
