Eggs
A dozen large, grade-A eggs recently cost $1.63 in cities tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS also has data for mid-1989, when such eggs cost around $0.95 per dozen. That’s an increase of just 72%, well below the overall 107% increase in prices over that period.
The reason that egg prices have been low lately is an oversupply that has led to some egg producers posting losses instead of profits.
