Does Walmart Have The Cheapest Eggs In 2026? - Tasting Table

Walmart’s low prices do not guarantee it is the cheapest option for every egg purchase. Egg prices depend on brand, egg type, quantity, and regional pricing trends. Standard white eggs are generally cheaper than organic, cage-free, free-range, or pasture-raised options. Store-brand and name-brand comparisons show Walmart offering some of the lowest prices. A 12-count carton of Great Value white eggs costs $1.47, about $0.12 per egg. An 18-count store-brand carton costs $2.47, about $0.14 per egg, and a six-count package costs $0.86, about $0.14 per egg. Organic options cost more, such as $5.88 for an 18-count carton, about $0.33 per egg. Name brands are typically higher priced, but Walmart’s prices can still be lower than other retailers.

"If you prefer to buy organic, an 18-count package of Walmart's Marketside Organic cage-free brown eggs costs $5.88, or $0.33 per egg. Unsurprisingly, name brand eggs are typically more expensive. A 12-count package of Happy Egg Co. organic free-range brown eggs, for instance, is $5.96 at Walmart, and Vital Farms pasture-raised brown eggs are $6.46 for a 12-pack. Eggland's Best cage-free white eggs are $4.46 for a carton of 12."
