It's not a matter of price sensitivity - the top end hasn't changed prices.

Have they not? I buy pasture raised eggs which at my local Whole Foods used to be $5.99/dozen and lately have been $7.99/dozen. Granted, the $5.99 was cheaper than my other local grocery store, where they've been $7.99 all along (and I'm not sure what they've been charging recently).

I also only have anecdotes, but the prices of prices for free range eggs near me has been stable around $6/dozen for a long time.

The prices they're citing there aren't "top end," they're store brand.
