Eggs were getting expensive due to an egg monopoly raising prices, according to the egg monopoly. The H5N1 was just the reason given to the public.


It's kind of interesting seeing this play out differently depending on your grocer. My grocer is a little bit "upscale" I guess where eggs were more or less always $6 for a dozen jumbos. All through this prices haven't budged, it's just a matter of whether the eggs are in stock or sold out already. However, you go to Ralphs, the ostensibly "working man's" store incomparison, large eggs there are pushing $10 now. Same city, another 5 minutes down the road.
