In the last two years the price of eggs have easily doubled--a dozen large store brand eggs are over 3 bucks now vs maybe 99 cents pre-pandemic.

Food in the US is insanely cheap. Wow.

$4.78 USD at the cheapest store here, and this is on special.

I was about to say that this is roughly what supermarket eggs cost here in Switzerland but then realised that your price was for a dozen and I was thinking a box of six.

Eggs here are often sold in units of one (you fill your own box with however many eggs you need) and cost about US$0.80 per egg.
