In a few years, the egg has doubled

If there is food that jumps into Easter immediately, it is the egg. At most, the ham can compete with it. Whether it comes from the chocolate factory or it comes from a hen (or the rabbit brings it), Easter for adults, children without an unimaginable egg. Nothing has changed in the last few years, but more so in the price of eggs.

Four years ago it was 442 forints 10 eggs

Four or five years ago, it would have seemed unimaginable to give an egg for 100 forints in stores, but today our eyes are not worse on such a price tag. If we hunt for the price, we can swim around 720-750 HUF to buy 10 sized eggs. However, even this is much more expensive than we could buy a box a few years ago.

According to the Central Statistical Office, in January 2021, the average price of 10 eggs in stores was 442 HUF. After that, he started to become more expensive, but for just over a year the price had not exceeded 500 HUF. This happened first before 2022 Easter in March. During this period, food prices were fired as a rocket, which also appeared on the rise of eggs.

By November 2022, the Statistical Office had already measured 984 forints for 10 pieces. At that time The government also introduced the price stop for the eggbut as a result, prices dropped to around $ 900. A major drop in prices has been brought about by natural market flows. By June 2024, they reduced the average price below 700 HUF.

However, from November last year, another steep price increase came, leaving an average egg average of 930 forints by January this year. The margin of 30 food in March also extended to the egg, but it only made its effect this month. The CSO measured an average price of 926 HUF March.

If we look at the current prices before this year, we can see that in the big chains we can buy a box of eggs (10) and size at around 720-750 HUF. However, find one hundred forints more expensive eggs in the same size.

It is not uncommon for a price of 1000 forints for a box of eggs

For larger, extra -quality eggs, it is not uncommon for the price around a thousand forints or even more expensive. It seems when pricing big chains is that they mostly try to priced below 1000 HUF for these products. This is probably what customers consider to be a psychological limit.

It will be revealed in May what average price the statistical office will eventually measure from these prices for April. However, it is almost certain that the margin will only be enough to squeeze the average price of eggs slightly below the price four years ago.

The question is how long, as the margin is in principle until the end of May, but Márton Nagy has already wound up on Thursday to extend it. In fact, even they can extend the margin stop For other foods and other household and beauty articles such as shower gel, washing powder, diaper.

Chocolate egg surprise 400 forints

For those who buy traditional eggs, those who want to give children and watermarks with a chocolate change will not do much better. The very well-consumed Kinder egg can be bought at around 400 forints, but we also found a higher price of 30-50 forints and a higher price. There is also a big chain that can be pinched (ate) below 300 at the prices before Easter. Whoever wants to arise in this, however, we found an ad from 2016. In this They offered a Kinder egg for 199 forints.
