Cost of eggs

[JAS_OH1]

Well I had bought 5 dozen cage free brown eggs on sale (this company: Happy Egg) for $3.99 a dozen several weeks ago (expiry Febuary 3) and now I am down to 6 eggs, so I need to find some on sale somewhere soon and stock up. I dislike those pale yolked eggs, I like the deep, rich orangey yolks from chickens who get to wander around and forage.

Yes, but not recently. I read an article stating that most double yolkers come from either very young or older chooks. Not like it matters in taste, but the orange yolks taste better.

Eggxactly. We only buy free range although new laws here all eggs must be free range now.

Well I got 2 dozen organic cage free large brown eggs for $6.49 each. Way more than I like paying...

Wow... I won't be eating eggs in shells at that rate. I went by Walmart to get a carton of Egg Beaters and all of those were sold out.

Googling around and found this for egg substitution.

Well the white eggs with the pale yolks were $4.19 a dozen. For baking that's fine but for fried eggs I want those bright orange yolks.

I looked at the substitutes but only flax and chia offer enough protein to compare. Edit. Nevermind. They don't.

Same. I like a bright yellow yolk. I usually buy Burford browns which are deep orange yellow but tomorrow I’m trying out a new brand ‘Freshlay Golden Yolker’ they’re about half the price of my usual ones so I’m fairly dubious but they did get a Gold Taste award so you never know

I didn't need the beating LOL! I am so happy you are able to get great eggs on the cheap. They look lovely.

Thats what my dh said yesterday.

Don't worry - it's not going to happen.
I might point out, however, that over here, eggs are eggs. There's no such thing as organic, large, medium, brown, blush pink; eggs are eggs and you get what you get.
Still, at $3.95 for 30, that works out at $0.13 an egg, so who's complaining??

Same here, eggs are eggs. Brown though. I don't think I've seen white ones.
$0.11 per egg
