Fact-checking the claim: eggs costing more per ounce than gold. On March 9, 2025, gold is around $2,600 per ounce (Kitco). A dozen large eggs (24 oz) at Walmart averages $4.50—about $0.19 per ounce. Even in pricey California at $8.85 per dozen, that’s $0.37 per ounce. Gold wins by a landslide. Claim’s false, but egg prices are indeed cracking budgets!
