SHELL EGG and EGG PRODUCTS FEATURING Easter is among us and retailers are filling store ads with eggs as feature activity more than triples from a week ago for post-holiday needs. Shoppers looking for bargains will be satisfied as the number of “no price” promotions increase slightly and the average price of Large white eggs to consumers, Grade A or better, changes course after two weeks and is sharply lower. Featuring of Medium and Extra Large sized eggs is slightly more active this cycle. Promotional activity for specialty shell eggs decline. Omega-3 eggs are extremely popular and command the most ad space while the other specialty types fall sharply from view. In the eggs products sector, the number of ads for liquid eggs is on the rise. The most activity is on the East Coast, and limited elsewhere.
