> I picked up 15 dozen eggs for $8.69, and the 5 dozen was $8.99 at that time.

Is there a typo?

No, those numbers are correct.
So in 2019 15 dozen eggs were 30c cheaper than 5 dozen eggs?
Costco is also a special kind of store, where you pay an annual membership to get wholesale-like pricing.
Costco is a bulk grocer. You pay a yearly fee to shop at Costco, and in return you can get extremely good deals on bulk food and items.
Yeah I understand that, I do shop there often. It took me a few re-reads to understand how relatively similar pricing for 15 dozen and 5 dozen eggs in 2019 at the same store helps to compare inflation measurements.
