EGGFLATION IS BACK
— The average price of a dozen grade-A eggs hit $4.95 nationally last month, Wednesday’s inflation data from the Labor Department showed.
— That was above the previous record of $4.82, hit in January 2023, and was nearly twice as high as what a dozen eggs fetched a year earlier.
Unfortunately, with entire flocks continuing to be culled on bird flu concerns, shoppers are unlikely to see any relief soon
