It's no secret that the price of groceries is skyrocketing in today's economy. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, food-at-home prices are predicted to increase 2.1% in 2025. Egg prices recently haven't made it any easier to stretch your grocery budget.

But according to a new FinanceBuzz study, consumers are beginning to feel some relief. The report indicates that the average cost of a dozen eggs this week was $3.17 per dozen, a 13% decrease from two weeks prior.

The team has been tracking real-time data across stores, and the latest results reveal which stores have seen the most drastic drops in egg prices. As of June 9, 2025, here's which grocers experienced the biggest change in price.

Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill

Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:

  • Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
  • Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
  • Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.

Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.

Target

January is here, bringing fresh starts, clean slates, and a renewed focus on routines. As the new year kicks off, so do savings, making it the perfect time to reset your space and budget with smart seasonal buys. Look for deals on:

  • Fitness gear, wellness products, and activewear
  • Home organization essentials
  • Cold-weather basics, like coats, boots, and cozy layers
  • For grocery savings, look for seasonal produce, including citrus fruits, leafy greens, and root vegetables

With post-holiday markdowns and a shift toward fresh priorities, January is a great time to shop smart, stock up, and set the tone for a well-prepped year ahead.

Kroger dropped carton prices the most this week, where the price of a dozen eggs is almost $1 cheaper than it was two weeks ago. The cost for shoppers went from an astounding $3.94 to just $2.99.

This is also $2.32 less expensive than Kroger's highest price of $5.31 in March.

Other stores stayed stable

The retailers above showed a significant decrease in prices. And while the other stores FinanceBuzz tracked did not see any drop in cost, it's worth noting that prices for a dozen eggs have remained stable over the past two weeks:

  • Walmart: $2.96
  • Aldi: $2.97
  • H-E-B: $3.25
  • Giant Eagle: $4.85

Giant Eagle remains the most expensive place to buy eggs.

Bottom line
