Egg prices continue to climb

 

(CNN)– People heading to the grocery store for Thanksgiving are seeing sky-high prices for eggs.

Egg prices were up more than 30% in October from just a year ago, according to the Consumer-Price Index.

Now, a spike in Avian Flu and the upcoming holiday season are combining to make the problem even worse.

And rising prices could affect other egg-based items like mayonnaise and pasta.

The USDA warns high prices could stick around well into 2025.
