Weird egg prices

[PJMcK]

Yesterday, I went grocery shopping. Most of the egg prices were $8.99 and up per dozen. In the back of the cooler, there were cartons of 18 eggs for $4.99! They were fresh and perfectly fine. The manager said that farm had a surplus.

Weird.

1. I now think of eggs as chicken caviar

2. I could have gotten some for $4.15

but I always pay the higher price for cage-free and organic. I think I paid $5.39, something like that.

3. local products are going to be highly variable

days getting longer = hens going into high production. if local farms are infection free they are gonna have eggs!

5. Planned to grab some at Costco

all they had left was a single pallet with organic brown eggs $8.19 for 24 so that's what I got.

We don't eat them very often and have been mixing in egg whites when we make an omelet or something.

6. Yesterday at Aldi's, $3.49 per dozen, limit two.
