That's the perception though unfortunately.

Plenty of eggs at the Kroger near me, prices are around $4.50 per dozen. I used to buy them for under $2.

My three local stores and the shelves are partial full. Eggs running at about $6.75 a dozen

My Costco was literally out of eggs for weeks to include both the regular ones to the organic/cage free ones. There were pics of idiots with the bulk carts pushing stacks of eggs through the check out line. The regular eggs are back in stock now with a limitation notice that only two cartons per customer. This was after a few weeks of absolutely nothing.

The BJs I went to near my vacation home at the beach was stocked well and they had a sign up limiting two per customer which seems to me to have been put up quickly when there were panic runs starting up.

The local Sam's Club had egg whites (6 small cartons in a box) and a limit of 2 per customer on them. The egg whites are what's hard to find around here.

This is what I'm sayin'. At some point they're going to have to lower the price or start tossing rotten eggs.
