Updated August 14, 2026. Figures are averages and lows across Ontario grocery flyers in FlyerHawk's price database, which scores every flyer price against 12 months of history.
Egg prices are one of the most-searched grocery questions in Canada, and most answers online are stale or American. Here's what eggs actually cost in Ontario flyers right now.
Current egg prices in Ontario (August 2026)
| Format | Average flyer price | Recent low | Per egg (avg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dozen (12) | $6.46 | $6.00 | $0.54 |
| 18-pack | $5.92 | $5.00 | $0.33 |
| Liquid eggs, 1 L | $4.68 | $4.49 | — |
Three things jump out of the data:
1. The 18-pack is the quiet winner. Right now it averages less in total than a dozen — $5.92 vs $6.46 — which means 50% more eggs for less money. Per egg, that's $0.33 against $0.54. If your household gets through eggs at any speed, the dozen is currently the worst-value format on the shelf.
2. A "good" price for a dozen is under $6. Across the stores we track, dozens cluster tightly: the average is $6.46 and the recent low is $6.00. When you see a dozen advertised below $6, that's genuinely below the market — stock up. Above $6.50, the "special" sticker is doing all the work.
3. Liquid eggs are the bakers' arbitrage. At $4.68 per litre (roughly the equivalent of 20 shell eggs), liquid eggs undercut even the 18-pack per-egg for anything scrambled or baked — with none of the shells.
Why we don't quote one "egg price"
A single "eggs cost $X" number is how most articles get this wrong. A 12-pack, an 18-pack, an organic dozen, and a flat of 30 are different markets with different prices, and averaging them produces a number that describes nothing. FlyerHawk benchmarks each format against its own history — a 12-pack is only ever compared to 12-packs — which is also how we decide whether this week's flyer price deserves a deal alert at all.
How to actually pay less for eggs
- Anchor on the per-egg price ($0.33–$0.55 is the current Ontario range; anything near the bottom is a real deal).
- Check the 18-pack first. Right now it beats the dozen outright.
- Let the flyers come to you. New cycles start Thursdays; FlyerHawk watches every one and emails you only when eggs are genuinely cheap against their own 12-month history — not when a sticker says "SALE."
Prices move weekly. The numbers above reflect the current flyer cycle and will drift — which is rather the point of tracking them.
