The rising prices of eggs at grocery stores nationwide, coupled with empty shelves in some places, can be attributed to the widespread outbreak of bird flu, affecting millions of birds in the U.S. within the past month alone, as reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Consequently, the USDA projects a further 20% increase in egg prices by 2025. Certain retailers like Trader Joe’s and Costco have imposed purchasing limits on fresh eggs due to the current situation, according to ABC News. Many of Dreyer’s followers empathized with her predicament, with numerous Instagram users commenting on her post, expressing similar anxieties about their own egg supplies. Some shared sentiments of reluctance to use their remaining eggs, while others likened the scarcity of eggs to the toilet paper shortage experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
