The cheapest eggs on vons.com are $5.99 in Los Angeles. This is a cool data visualization but the closest data point it has for LA is Rosemead and it says they're $2.76.


Vons is generally one if the higher end grocery stores. It's not all that surprising to me that Walmart would have eggs at half the price. I don't live in SoCal, so I can't say whether it's accurate, but the number of people I hear complaining about egg prices around me while I can still get eggs at $2.89/dozen at my local Safeway has left me deeply confused about this whole event.


Portions of the country had REALLY cheap eggs. Before Covid hit, the local stores around here got into a fight with one of the convenience stores and kept dropping prices; it bottomed out somewhere around 29 cents a dozen (limit 5 dozen).

Now they're $4 minimum; normal "not insane sale" price before was $1.


But the thought process and critical thinking on such subjects is important, but agreed.
