Lots of eggs on the shelf $4 for a carton of 12 large. This wasn't walmart, so not the busiest store in town.

The prices didn't seem bad compared to what I've seen others say they were going for. I don't frequently eat eggs and I couldn't tell you what the normal price is.

Because today $4 is only worth what $2 was worth, "a few years ago". It's not that the eggs are worth more, it's that the dollars are worth less.

Yeah I understand inflation. Funny thing is, they are not paying the farmers more for the eggs.

Correct. Now, why do you think that is, hmmm?

Supply chain cost increases created by ridiculous policies designed to maximize control of the populace. As well as a lack of competition both between, and within the handful of multinational/global corporations that control any given facet of our daily lives. Whom in turn must answer, in some way, to the insane, asinine whims of those that control the money itself.

A lot of other reasons too, but these are the first to come to mind.
