Egg prices in the U.S. have seen a significant spike, rising from under $2 a dozen to over $4, largely due to inflation and a bird-flu outbreak. This crisis has led establishments like Waffle House to impose surcharges. Political figures are now blaming each other for these costs, with Trump’s administration previously also culling infected birds. Grocery stores, which have historically used eggs as 'loss leaders' to attract customers, are also being forced to adjust their strategies as consumers face these inflated prices.
"Egg prices have risen dramatically as of late. First, inflation pushed up their cost. Then, the ongoing bird-flu outbreak led to shortages."
"The average price of a dozen eggs in U.S. cities remained below $2 until 2022. Eggs now cost an average of more than $4 a dozen."
