What was the average cost of eggs in 1996?

I do not have access to real-time information, including historical prices for commodities like eggs.

To find the average cost of eggs in 1996, I recommend you try these resources:

* United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): The USDA publishes data on agricultural prices, including egg prices. You can search their website for historical data.

* Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): The BLS tracks consumer price indices (CPI), which can provide an indication of the cost of eggs over time.

* Historical price databases: There are websites that specialize in collecting historical price data, such as the InflationData.com website.

Please note that the average price of eggs in 1996 could vary depending on factors such as the location, type of egg, and size of the egg.
