    I went to whole foods last night and was able to get a dozen “organic” large dozen eggs for $5.99. Not that there weren’t more expensive options, but it makes me doubt the “wholesale” pricing was $7.50 unless as I alluded to in a previous comment, the stores are subsidizing them as a loss leader.

      Why would the current administration do that though? These prices are straight from the Department of Agriculture. They show a 30% increase in price between 1/3 and 2/7. That can’t be good press

        I don’t understand your question. Why would the current administration do what? Also I don’t believe I brought up anything related to the current administration. I am only speaking with regards to the prices that I have seen in person that do not reflect what an article says and used my area as an example.

          Why would the current administration release a report with cherry-picked data that makes the price of eggs look higher, when that’s something the current president ran on lowering
