In 1940, a dozen eggs cost around 33 cents [source]. However, to make a fair comparison, we need to consider inflation.
Here's the breakdown:
-
1940 Price: 33 cents
-
Adjusted 1940 Price (2024): Around $6.40 [source] (accounting for inflation)
-
2024 Price: The average price of a dozen Grade A large eggs in February 2024 was $3 [source].
So, in today's dollars, eggs were actually more expensive in 1940 (around $6.40) compared to 2024 ($3).
