"A Trader Joe’s on the Upper West Side is selling eggs at a 'retro rate between $3.45 and $3.99,' with a one-carton-per-customer rule, according to the New York Post. The price is about $2 less than nearby grocery stores and significantly lower than the $8-per-dozen city average. The Post reports that prices are dropping but that people are complaining about price gouging to the New York Attorney General’s Office, with over 150 complaints about inflated prices since the start of 2025. The coverage ties the earlier spike to the bird flu pandemic and notes that, while 'chances are you won’t get those golden yolks,' at least these are not the plant-based substitute for those who want the real deal." - Melissa McCart
