Works for me. Basically Nevada government passed stupid legislation.
Eric Withey typically goes through 60 eggs a week, but recently decided to cut back.
âWe were getting a dozen for like, $2.60 or something, and now youâre paying what, like $6 or $7.â
Instead Withey opted for an 18-count, which cost him around $9, whereas his typical 60-count would have been around $22.
The price of eggs
continues to climb because of the national egg shortage caused by avian flu. Since the outbreak started in 2022, more than 145 million birds, the majority being egg-laying chickens, have been slaughtered.
Nevadans feel the affects more than other states because of
legislation passed in 2021 that restricts the sale of non-cage-free eggs or egg products from being sold in Nevada, which is making the shortage âeven more pronounced,â according to the Retail Association of Nevada.Nevada is one of 10 states with cage-free egg laws.
