Not much if at all. It's around $3 for a dozen eggs, not $10+ like in some places in the US right now.
Where?
Canada. A dozen eggs is worth around $3 USD
Yeah, 25¢/egg would be a reasonable price.
It's about the same price where I am in Australia. We had a bird flu outbreak last year which meant there was some shortages but prices haven't gone crazy.
Have you tried unfettered capitalism?
We do have that here. All our food comes from one of only three grocery brands. Two of which make up 90% of the market. There was a government commission into the cost of groceries but nothing has really been happened other than one CEO quitting under public pressure. But then again eggs are only $AUD 5.19/dozen so maybe it worked more than we realised.
