Hey Portland, let's talk eggs. They're a fridge staple, a baking essential, and lately, a major source of grocery bill anxiety. Prices seem to change daily, and it's tough to know where to find the best deals without driving all over town.
Introducing Stumptown Savings’ Portland Egg Price Tracker! It’s a crowdsourced project leveraging data from across the metro area. Learn more about it and how YOU can contribute to this crowdsourced database. Here’s the data:

What Is This Thing?
This interactive dashboard visualizes egg prices submitted by Portland shoppers like you. With just a quick peek, you can see:
Egg Prices by Brand and Type: See which brands cost the most (and the least) at Portland stores.
Price Trends Over Time: Are prices going up or down? Spot the patterns over time.
Store-by-Store Comparisons: See who's got the best value, from Fred Meyer to New Seasons.
Why Eggs?
Eggs are a great indicator of overall grocery inflation. Plus, their prices vary wildly between stores and neighborhoods, making them perfect for a community price-tracking project. Stumptown Savings is all about helping Portlanders shop smarter. Part of that is working together where possible to help document price changes and rising food costs. That’s my goal with the Portland Egg Price Database.
