Egg prices seem to be on track to dropping to normal levels across the US. Earlier this year, prices reached record highs of nearly $5 a dozen in some places. The US Department of Agriculture recently reported that wholesale egg prices have fallen to an average price anywhere from $1 to $1.40 across various regions of the country. Several grocery store executives also recently told the Wall Street Journal that egg prices should largely be under $2 per dozen across the US. Prices finally started to fall in recent months for eggs and other grocery staples like bacon, Insider previously reported.
