Last 60 months
The chart below tracks the 60-month span from November 2021 through October 2026. Each point marks one monthly average from the Bureau, and any month without a published reading leaves an open break in the line with a gap marker.
Last 24 months
The table below lists the 24 most recent months in chronological order. Each row gives the rounded retail price per dozen and the dollar and percentage change from the month immediately before it. Months with no published figure appear as "no price published," and neither they nor the month after them show a change. Changes use the exact prices, so a change can differ by a cent from the difference of the two rounded prices shown.
