I will eat the heck out of 54+ eggs. Egg sandwich, fried rice with scrambled eggs, hard-boiled in egg salad, deviled eggs, whatever.
Those who don't have a Kroger family store nearby, check out Aldi's because they're around a dollar a dozen now too

Likely the main reason egg prices are coming back down is that the poultry industry is recovering from the bird flu outbreak.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 58 million birds have been affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in the most recent outbreak, including commercial poultry as well as backyard chickens.
Lempert said it takes months for newly born hens, unaffected by the highly contagious and lethal bird flu, to be able to lay eggs that can then be sold to consumers.
Grocery prices can also be tied to inflation, which remained high in April but decreased slightly. Consumer prices increased 4.9% over the same period a year ago, but they dipped compared to prior months.
Egg prices may not fully return to previous levels anytime soon though, Lempert said, since egg producers will want to make up for lost earnings and other supply chain issues, such as labor shortages and trucking industry woes.

This is what I was saying back when egg prices were crazy.
1) cull birds affected by the flu, that reduces egg output and therefore prices rise
2) wait for the flu to pass/make sure there are no more birds to cull (prices still high) ~ +1 month
3) onboard new chicks. They take ABOUT 6 months to become egg-laying.
4) because there was an entire industry demanding new birds, and that process takes about a month, there was an additional delay in replacement.
5) supply begins to recover and prices start coming down
So give or take you have around 7-8 months from when the culling happened to when egg production begins to normalize.

BJ's sells 3dz for $4.29 or 5 dz for $7.29 so $1.43 and $1.458/dz respectively.
I wouldn't go out of my way to save $0,43 on eggs.

have you thought about how and why the birds were culled?
Wow...
