So, how much are you all spending per dozen eggs?

[conuly]

I went to the store to re-up eggs, and they were going for $10 a dozen. It was actually cheaper to get organic eggs, at $8.50! I seriously considered getting the 2.5 dozen pack, but even at a (slightly) cheaper per unit price of $8.20/dozen that sticker shock was still insane.

And while I love complaining about the way our local store gouges on butter ($8 a pound for store brand!), this time it's not just them - the prices were about the same at Stop and Shop. Well, okay, everybody's talking about egg prices lately - except then I read an article about skyrocketing egg prices and the article cite a shocking (!) $4 a dozen, which, don't make me laugh.

So was that article already painfully out of date, or are we just getting massively ripped off over here?

per the safeway site just now, pricing is all over, with most running $6-7 per dozen, but you can definitely spend a lot more if you wanted.

they also listed a package of 60 for $27 (45c per egg), which would clearly be the way to go if you're feeding crowds or baking tons

Or just have a large fridge.
