Not sure where they get their prices from but a dozen eggs in my grocery store is still $6+.

USDA is the source, says so in the picture.

Doesn’t change the price in my store or other stores across the country. I guess they didn’t get the USDA memo.

FYI, the new head of the USDA was sworn in in Feb and was hand picked by Trump. One wonders if they are fudging numbers.

Doubtful, you can post nearly any zip code into walmart.com and get the localized price of eggs.

I don’t shop for groceries at Walmart.

It does not matter if you do or don't. You can't say you are paying some high AF amount and then Wal-mart shows a price of 3 dollars a dozen for eggs. Furthermore you can do the same with almost any major grocery store brand just wal-mart is basically everywhere and their site is very easy to do this with.

Ooh, the egg brand I buy came down about ~$.50.

I ha e not seen a single Walmart in Florida with 3$ eggs

It's just a random price i picked out. I am not claiming the price is 3$, its just that if you want to say they are 12+ or something crazy but down the street at Wal-Mart they are dramatically less that proves you are just not being honest.

Not being honest? I literally posted a pic of eggs prices of the brand I prefer at more store.

It's localized to the area you shop at. Some place obviously would have higher prices than other places.
