The Friday File: Wholesale egg prices started 2022 at about $1.60/dozen, essentially rose steadily over the course of the year and ended up at an eye-watering $5.20/dozen. That said, 2023 has been the reverse on steroids. After starting the year at $5.20/dozen, wholesale eggs are now selling at just $0.80/dozen, a staggering 85% decline from the peak and are at their lowest level in years!
