Rather than ask the cost, it is more meaningful to ask "Wow long did a person have to work to earn enough to buy a dozen eggs?".In the early 1940 the average pay was less than 50 cents an hour. Eggs were about 49 cents/dozen. his means you'd have to work an hour to buy a dozen eggs.

In America in 2017 minimum wage is about 8$/hr and eggs about 3$/dozen. You have to work half an hour to buy a dozen eggs.
