Our eggs last year varied between $1-2 dozen. Before that, they frequently dipped below $1/doz. With the price of literally all other groceries skyrocketing, our family made a conscious choice to switch away from higher proteins like beef to eating a lot of eggs because they were the cheapest source of protein readily available.

Now you can't buy a dozen of eggs in the stores around here for less than $6.

We go through a lot of eggs. That is a very big increase when you add it up throughout the year.
