    Midwest is a pretty big ‘exact area’ to call it cherry picked. I haven’t particularly paid attention to the price recently but it was just a few years ago I recall them being less than $2 so even $5 is a pretty big increase.

      The specific place they mention and take a pic of was a Cub in Minneapolis, which is what I was referring to.

          They went up near me and my wife and I are looking at straight up eggs as more a luxury and prioritize their use in baking. We went organic pasteur raised and would rather cut back than lose that nice dark yolk flavor.

          I’m not familiar with Coborns, but I usually shop at Cub, Hyvee, or some of the smaller local stores. I’ve been paying very close attention to prices, which is why I have actually been a bit confused why we haven’t been seeing a more dramatic price hike on eggs as the media has been reporting. It could be that some of the stores are using egg prices to compete, which is artificially stabilizing the price a little. No idea, but the article specifically had a picture from Cub in Minneapolis, so I felt more than familiar enough to cast some doubt.
