That's not the worst, honestly. Eggs were always expensive over here so that isn't such a big leap in price. For real, I expected worse.
Yeah I can see the outrage if they were very cheap to begin with. $4-5 for 12 is the typical price I get here. Add a few bucks for certain brands, or cut a few for occasional promotions.
Depends on the source to if you get farm fresh $5 for 12 is pretty typical but don't really know any farmers like that around here
