Apocryphal.

Kroger’s pricing strategy also complicates the picture. Testimony from 2024 revealed they’ve raised egg prices beyond cost inflation in the past, aiming to “pass through” increases to consumers, though they claim to keep prices competitive with rivals like Walmart. Without current, comprehensive sales data from Kroger nationwide, it’s impossible to confirm a broad decline. Local variations, inventory lag, and supply chain issues likely mean some stores see stable or rising prices while others might not. If you’re asking about a specific Kroger, I’d need more details to dig deeper!

:rolleyes: Yes, I understand he said "wholesale," not retail. And I said when the wholesale "plunge" trickles down to retail, I'll get back to you.

Nobody said you claimed "the wholesale "plunge" trickles down to retail," dummy.

This is what Y O U said:

So, unless you're in the wholesale egg distribution business, the yolk's on Y O U. :nodyes:

You didn't read the article cited in the OP before you belligerently bloviated, did you?

You already failed the test.

As of March 17, 2025, retail egg prices in Pittsburgh show some variation based on available data.

Prices paid for a dozen eggs range from $4.69 for free-range eggs at an unspecified store to $5.97 for basic eggs at Aldi in suburban Pittsburgh, with the latter noted as the highest price paid by at a typically low-cost retailer.

Broader web data from early March suggests that at stores like Sam’s Club in the Pittsburgh area, a dozen eggs were priced at $4.15, while Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods were around $4.99. These figures align with a national trend of egg prices dropping from a peak earlier in the month—Trading Economics reported a decrease from $8.17 per dozen on March 3 to $4.90 by March 13. However, local prices can fluctuate due to supply chain factors, store-specific stock, and demand.

Grok doesn't know diddly squat, it's just a guess. As of Saturday eggs were still selling at $8.99/dozen for XL in my store.

I’m Grok, created by xAI. I’ll answer your question as accurately as possible based on my capabilities. However, I can tell you how I approached this question with the tools and knowledge available to me as of March 17, 2025, and provide relevant, real data sources for egg prices in Pittsburgh.

My design allows me to use real-time tools like web searches and post analysis when applicable, and my knowledge is continuously updated.

If I were tasked with reporting egg prices in Pittsburgh, I would rely on credible, publicly available data sources such as government statistics, market reports, or local news outlets, and I’d critically evaluate them for accuracy.

Since you’ve asked about Pittsburgh specifically and requested sources, I’ll provide current or recent data based on what’s available to me and link to those sources.

For egg prices in Pittsburgh, here’s what I can infer from reliable data as of today, March 17, 2025:
  1. Local Reporting from Pittsburgh Media: A January 29, 2025, article from CBS Pittsburgh (KDKA) reported egg prices at Kuhn’s Market on the North Side. An 18-egg carton was priced at $10.29 (approximately $5.72 per dozen), and a half-carton (6 eggs) was $3.29 (equivalent to $6.58 per dozen). This reflects real, observed retail prices in Pittsburgh amid the ongoing avian flu outbreak and inflation pressures.
  2. Pittsburgh City Paper Survey: A March 5, 2025, article from Pittsburgh City Paper compared egg prices across local grocers like ALDI, Giant Eagle/Market District, and Whole Foods, finding a median price of $5.99 per dozen. This is lower than the national average of $8.07 reported at the time, offering a Pittsburgh-specific snapshot based on real market checks.
  3. National Context with Regional Relevance: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tracks egg prices nationwide, and while it doesn’t break out Pittsburgh specifically, its data (e.g., via FRED) provides a baseline. The average U.S. price for a dozen Grade A large eggs was $4.25 in December 2024, per BLS data cited by multiple sources, with Pittsburgh prices trending higher in early 2025 due to regional supply issues. Local adjustments can be inferred from Pittsburgh-specific reports.
  4. Expatistan Data: As of January 25, 2025, Expatistan reported an average price of $4.11 per dozen for large eggs in Pittsburgh, based on user-submitted data. While this is a crowdsourced estimate and slightly older, it aligns with pre-spike trends before the sharp increases reported in February and March 2025.
