During the inflationary period, New York City skincare companies called it marketing, promoting stunts or customer appeal, and sold eggs at half price in expensive metropolises. Normal, a customer caught the eye after selling twelve eggs for $3.37 in a skincare company’s New York store.
The bill has been published on Reddit Sub R/NYC and has also made another similar post for R/SkincareDdiction. However, the second article was deleted for being “out of the scope of skincare products Subreddit.”
It is worth noting that egg prices in the United States have risen – from $4 in January to the last week of February, amid a bird flu outbreak, according to local media reports from NBC News and The New York Times. Egg prices averaged over $8 per dozen in March 2025.
Ordinary selling eggs? Legal or scam?
While cosmetic companies seem unlikely to sell eggs and are cheaper than grocery stores, recycling posted on Reddit is legal. Additionally, the brand’s Instagram account posted information about egg sales twice over the weekend. So, we can say for sure, that did happen.
The average person said there were over 94,000 liked posts in its first post, “We heard that New York City needs eggs. This weekend, you can get 12 eggs in our store for $3.37. No folds, just eggs.
The shops for sale for sale are the company’s stores located in Nolita (26 NYC Prince ST) and Fifth Avenue (475 Fifth Avenue, NYC). The second article of “Generally Priced Eggs” also has more than 5,900 likes and seems to have been received by customers in a good collection.
What are the reactions of netizens? ‘Absurd…wow! Good marketing! Smart! ‘
The reaction under both posts on Reddit was a mix of shock, a question and awe, some confusing whether Cosmetics Shop could sell food and others marvel at marketing geniuses. One user exclaimed, “This is ridiculously lol” for a response: “This is also a little smart.”
Another questioned pricing, saying, “It makes sense because the general market itself is affordable dermatological quality skin care. My question is; where do they get eggs that can price them like this? Is this a loss?” Another user responded, “It makes me think it’s a marketing campaign they invested in.”
Other users were shocked: “Ayo? Eggs are sold in all locations because that’s really cheap.
On Instagram, the response was largely positive, saying, “It’s good marketing” and “marketing here is genius!
