Stephen: Eggs latest product to see inflation-related price hike

Are eggs a new luxury item? The price of eggs has tripled in certain places across the United States, with some high-end grocery locations asking for $11.49 a dozen.

Inflation and egg scarcity may be in part due to avian flu. 50 million birds died from the disease last year.

CEO of Grit Capital Genevieve Roch-Decter went so far as to say on Twitter that eggs were “the new Bitcoin.” Cardi B weighed in on high grocery store prices as well, saying: “You might as well eat outside!”
