People no longer only look at the price of gasoline or electricity to reduce their expenses a little, now they also look at basic food items, such as the oil or eggs, to save a little each month after the great increase in the shopping basket in recent years. And it is no wonder, since they are used daily to prepare tortillas, batters and other dishes in our diet. For this reason, many consumers compare the prices of supermarkets such as Mercadona, Carrefour, Alcampo or Dia to find the most economical options.
With inflation still high (the latest CPI data for September reached 4.9%), filling the refrigerator continues to be an effort for many families. In this context, knowing how much basic foods like eggs cost can help you adjust your shopping budget.
Looking at the different varieties and formats sold in supermarkets today, it is clear that the price changes depending on the size of the eggs and how the chickens are raised. If we compare the dozens of size M, Alcampo is the one with the cheapest dozen eggs, with the Roig brand pack at 1.36 euros, a particularly low price compared to other establishments. It is followed by Mercadona, which has the container with 12 eggs for 2.85 euros, while Dia and Eroski sell them for 3.10 euros and Carrefour for 3.89 euros.
The prices of basic foods such as milk, eggs or olive oil can be consulted daily at the FACUA price control portalwhere the association monitors different products and formats in some of the main supermarkets in Spain.
The price of eggs in supermarkets
The evolution of rates shows that today it does not cost the same to buy eggs depending on which supermarket you go to. However, the differences do not depend only on the chain, but also on whether they are fresh eggs or not, the type of chicken breeding, as well as the size, since the price is not the same for medium (M) eggs as for large (L) or super large (XL) eggs.
Therefore, these are the prices of eggs in the main supermarkets this Monday, November 9, 2026, according to the data published on the FACUA price monitoring portal.

Additionally, prices may change depending on the store and the offers available.
