New York City's popular breakfast sandwich, the bacon, egg, and cheese, is facing price hikes due to rising egg costs amid an avian influenza outbreak. Employees at various delis reported that the cost of eggs has more than tripled since prior to the pandemic, leading to potential price adjustments from $4.50 to as high as $8 per sandwich. Customers are expressing frustration over these increases, and some are opting for alternatives, such as sausage sandwiches without eggs, as food prices continue to climb dramatically.
The price today is more than yesterday, the price yesterday is more than last week, highlighting the continuous rise in egg prices affecting local delis.
Everybody is screaming, everybody is yelling, 'Why is it so much?', reflecting the frustration of customers and deli owners over the soaring costs.
Prices for popular breakfast sandwiches like the bacon, egg, and cheese are being raised by an average of 50 cents to $1, impacting daily routines.
The latest inflation data shows food prices rising significantly, predominantly driven by skyrocketing egg costs, which surged 15.2% month-over-month.
