I'm in England. When I visited Arizona a couple of weeks ago I was shocked at US food prices. I am in fact a UK Costco member but didn't visit a US Costco while I was there. In regular supermarkets though the US prices are approaching 2x what I pay here for the exact same stuff. For example I shopped in a US Lidl and we also have Lidl here.
The only stuff which was significantly cheaper in the US was alcohol (wine/beer/spirits) and - for some strange reason - eggs. I was surprised that the smallest pack of eggs I could buy was 12 (we buy them in packs of 6) and the US price was about a quarter of what 12 would cost in UK. Go figure.
I certainly don't consider egg prices reasonable considering I got hooked on the more expensive eggs. I've tried to buy the cheaper eggs and can tell the difference.

Paranoid me has me thinking the eggs are cheap cause they’ve added something to them somehow….😬😁
Or egg prices were being carefully watched by normies so they are artificially keeping them reasonable. /tinfoil
I don't consider $6 a dozen reasonable for something that was 99 cents in 2020.
