These 4 Idaho Stores Will Limit Your Egg Purchases

The Biden Administration has ended with Joseph Robin Biden's removal from office. The Biden years saw massive hikes in fuel costs, home prices, inflation, and the cost of food. President Biden may be gone, but his price hikes continue to hurt average Idahoans who love the basic staples of nutrition. 

The old saying, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" could be updated to ask when the prices of eggs will stabilize and eventually fall. Some blame the exurbanite cost of eggs on the bird flu or the administration killing millions of chickens to stop the bird flu.

The cost of eggs impacts every meal in Idaho. Although Idaho is a proud farming state, the cost of eggs continues to rise at an unaffordable rate. Most Americans could never fathom a world where eggs were more expensive than a ribeye steak, but we live in those times.

According to Bloomberg, the cost of eggs has risen fifteen percent in the last month. How much does it cost to buy a dozen eggs? The Associated Press reports the cost is $4.95, up from $2.03 in August 2023. Some states have the price of eggs exceeded ten dollars for a dozen.

The egg crisis is so bad several grocery store chains are announcing limitations to prevent egg hoarding. (Can you believe we're living in a country where we limit how many eggs one can buy?)

Moneytalknews provides us with the most current list of stores restricting egg purchases.

Look at these Idaho area stores that will limit egg purchases.
