42. Same here in TX - I paid $4.99 at Neighborhood Walmart

Sun May 18, 2025, 05:05 PM

May 18

for the "Happy Eggs" free range brand. It was actually cheaper than many others.

I mainly stick to HEB and Kroger but sometimes stop at the small neighborhood Walmart because it's easier to maneuver. Prices are just as high as when Biden was in office, and gas hasn't gone down either. Here in TX, we usually have lower prices with our proximity to the refineries but even that is not helping w/Trump in charge. It has been a chaotic mess.
