Egg prices fall for first time post-bird flu, yet remain high
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Egg prices are finally going down as grocery stores saw lower demand. This is the first drop in egg prices since bird flu cases spiked earlier this year. 22News spoke with a local restaurant to get a cost breakdown of the diner classic. A break from the madness. Egg prices are starting to see a downward trend after months of scarcity and high demand during the bird flu outbreak. The USDA reported a price drop in the past week, but this doesn't mean eggs are cheap. 22News spoke with Dominic Pompi, the owner of Memo's Restaurant, who told 22News that while prices are lower, the supply is still low. 'It's kind of hard to get as many as I want because of supply and demand and people can only give us so much but I had three or four outlets I was getting my eggs from so we survived,' Pompi said. A dozen of these eggs cost the restaurant about $7.50 a month ago and while a price drop may not look significant at the grocery store. It matters when you're buying 45 to 50 dozen at a time. While $337 for eggs sounds like a lot to the average person, it pales in comparison to what Pompi paid every time he received a shipment during the height of the egg price surge 'My bill went from about $1,100 for one delivery to $2,200, that was that was my $750 a dozen experience, it was $2,200 on Tuesday and $3,000 on Friday and I almost fell over,' Pompi said. Consumers can expect to see slightly lower prices over the next week as big chains recover their supply from decreased demand.
