If you’re scrambling to find eggs in Columbia, you’re not alone. Prices are increasing across the US due to impacts from bird flu; the national average for a dozen large, white eggs recently hit a record-breaking $8.07.
Columbia has felt the impact of the egg shortage, but you’ll likely pay less than the national average for eggs — if you can find them. Here are some prices for a dozen large, white eggs we saw this week:
- Lowes Foods (Forum Drive) — $5.59
- Publix (Trenholm Plaza) — $5.53
- Kroger (Two Notch Road) — $4.99
- The Fresh Market (Forest Drive) — $4.99
- Trader Joe’s (Forest Drive) — $3.49
Eggs are likely to get more eggspensive before prices come down, but you could try browsing local farmers markets to try finding eggs, or mix it up by purchasing a different ingredient. This could also be an opportunity to try quail eggs, which are available at Manchester Farms.
