Eggs around here were as low as 29 cents (during an egg price war, to be fair, but normal prices were well below a buck) and during whatever egg crisis there was recently peaked at nearly $4 a dozen. Both were the same "cheapest eggs in the store" though the local farm-raised eggs had a much smaller increase (maybe from $4.29 to $4.79).

Since then the cheapest eggs have come back down somewhat.

The problem is statistics count averages or price on a certain day, etc, people remember the _highest_ price they paid recently.
