Our supermarkets have lots of eggs. About $5/dozen.

 

Yes, but you live in Pennsylvania.  They probably fell off a truck.

In small tiendas eggs are sold loose and by weight.  Though we see more cardboard cartons in the supermercados. 

 

I priced dozen-sized cartons today and the average was 40 pesos (under 2 bucks USD).  Saw some as low as 34p and some as high as 50p (in more modern hard plastic cartons).

I stopped at Walmart in Tucson this week.  Eggs were plentiful; dozen large were $4.97.

I paid $14 today for a dozen free range eggs from a local farm.

 

Wow. California prices, I guess. Similar ones I get here just went up to $10 from $8, and that's only to cover the increased cost of feed, etc. Others are less expensive. Supermarket eggs, even "organic," are still $4-5. OTOH, I'm getting some "backyard" eggs today: two dozen for $5.
