As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that's if they aren't sold out due to the shortage.

In Colorado Springs, I'm seeing Eggland's Best at $6.29 and Simple Truth "Kipster Large" eggs currently on sale at $4.99 per dozen, respectively, at King Soopers.

While these prices are certainly high compared to what we're used to, it's definitely not been nearly as outrageous as what I'm seeing online.

I can't imagine the prices and selection are actually significantly different at the same chain an hour away in Denver.
