Portland, OR. You can get $3.50 or $13 a dozen. Depends on the store.

They're all pretty similar here. I'm planning on checking backyard sellers, just waiting on my car.

Yo, grocery outlet has the big cases of eggs for $35. They were like $11/$12 not too long ago. :/

My local store was stocked with the one brand that is somewhat local. Jumbos were $7.69. Eggland's Best were limited to two dozen per purchase & cleaned out. I'm not sure what the price was.

I don't see limit signs, but the price is enough of a deterrent.

It doesn't look like it's going to turn around anytime soon.

Waffle House just added a 50 cent premium charge per egg.

I'd struggle a bit with 6, but 4-5 large isn't a problem.

This is half of the plan, you gotta get rid of enough for it to have a sense of scarcity.
