"Egg-citing" Developments in the Great Egg Price Scramble of 2025!

-

In a twist that might just make you crack a smile, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that the national average wholesale price of eggs has dropped for the third week in a row—proving once and for all that even eggs have their ups and downs (or should we say, "scrambles") in life!

Last week, the average price fell to a remarkably low $4.15 per dozen, plummeting by a whopping $2.70 from the February 28 figure of $8.05. 

Yes, you read that right: our favorite breakfast staple is suddenly cheaper, at least for those who buy eggs in bulk.

The drop comes as falling demand, a lull in the worst avian flu outbreaks in U.S. history, and a later-than-usual Easter have combined to cool off the egg market. 

In a recent USDA report, officials noted that “demand for eggs declined sharply over the past week as consumers grow weary of overblown prices, and supply is finally catching up with reality.” 

Although these promising wholesale figures haven’t yet trickled down to the store shelves—where the average price still hovers around $5.90 per dozen—the news is already giving hope to those who prefer their eggs scrambled without a side of sticker shock!

Meanwhile, the Justice Department has been pecking into the matter, launching an investigation into major egg producers over soaring egg prices. 

Political pundits have been egging each other on, with one former administration official declaring that “this is the first time we’re finally cracking down on corporate egg-sploitation!” 

At a press event, a top political figure even chimed in with, “By the way, egg prices are down 35% in the last week and a half. We’re doing a good job!” 

It’s the kind of feather-ruffling news that has both parties laying out their arguments, though perhaps not as spiritedly as a debate over the correct way to poach an egg!

Not to be outdone by the political arena, some grocers are already planning measures to combat the slow-but-steady fall in demand.


Limits on egg purchases have been introduced in some areas, and a few major retailers are rumored to be in talks about a “price-matching guarantee” if the store shelf prices eventually catch up to the wholesale market.

For now, as experts cheer the return of affordable eggs in the wholesale market, consumers remain cautiously optimistic. 

After all, in a world where egg prices can be as unpredictable as the morning weather, a few weeks of lower costs is enough to make anyone feel like they’ve won the breakfast lottery. 

The promise of a less egg-streme economic landscape is enough to give even the most frugal shopper a reason to smile—and maybe crack an egg joke or two!

Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right? Like a...

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
