How much for eggs now?

Does anyone see gas prices in 2 gallon units?
3 egg units

One specific brand of medium eggs, Eggland’s best were $4.49 which was sold out. Phil’s medium eggs were $4.89 which I bought. (Small box in the corner of the egg aisle, limit 1)

Everything else was $6.99 and up per dozen


Believe it or not the “cheapest eggs” by weight at woodmans are very strange eggs out of the shell in a clear utilitarian bag and liquid eggs also in strange packaging sold in multi pound units. I’ve never seen any of these options before, so maybe they are reading this thread :)
If I used a LOT of eggs I might consider these now much cheaper options.

Funny things is the name brand “liquid” eggs like no yolks and whatnot sell in smaller sizes at a premium price, funny seeing $2.49/lb generic liquid like eggs right next to the most expensive thing in the aisle that was always sold at a premium price. I should have taken a picture seeing what looks like a clear bag of random yolks floating in the whites and another bag of what looks like hard boiled eggs floating in a clear bag is sort of strange

Here is six web pages of "egg products" produced by on foodservice organization.

Want to know where irregular eggs, eggs with cracked shells, etc end up?

Here is a 30lbs square tub of eggs, with a 365-day shelf life:

It's easy enough to not eat eggs until the supply situation is resolved.
Yep. I bought a 30 pack before the madness started, they expired Feb 07. I used them (in cooking) until March 7 or 8 - bought another 18 (again, mostly just for cooking) and still have 8 or 9 left (I did "splurge" and had a bacon and egg breakfast). Noticed yesterday they were down a couple bucks from what I paid for them. I suspect the egg ships from the Mediterranean have arrived and combine that with the chicken plague easing up and it's probably about over. I know other countries are in talks to send more eggs to the US.

Honestly I'm happy with $2.55 gas and $5 eggs. I use way more gas than I eat eggs. I'm saving about 25-30 bucks a week in gas and spending $5 more per month on eggs compared to this time last year.
 
We pay on the high end, maybe 5$ a dozen for large, fresh, farm eggs that are delivered. Cannot beat them. To brag, I have maybe 6 dozen in the fridge. Man I love living in the country!
 
Which is like hoarding toilet paper and explains high prices. ;)
Not to be contrary but in this case probably not. I mean he wasn’t buying on the market and most likely nor was his neighbor a supplier to the market

Now yes .22LR and TP which no one makes….hoarding did impact and was stupid

Went to a hotel that had continental breakfast, pretty decent one really. They still had the bowl of obligatory hard boiled eggs sitting there. I always appreciate them, they are always there and I don't like waffles or cereal much. Got to thinking, they are now the most expensive option vs the cheapest in the past.

My chickens average 8 eggs laid per day. We eat a decent amount, trade eggs for milk to a neighbor with a dairy cow and sell excess for $4/dozen.

Getting chickens requires room and is expensive to start but they’re pretty cheap to maintain once you’re going.
