Another week, another egg poll

[conuly]

FreshDirect sent me a coupon, and they have exactly two types of egg, organic and not, at $8 and $6 per dozen respectively - limit 3 per customer.

We bought 2.5 dozen last time, but I'm seriously considering getting some more.

Poll #32771 Eggs!

$5.49

You don't have 5.5 as an answer; we got two dozen eggs at $5.49/dozen yesterday at Whole Fppds.

A few days before that, we didn't buy eggs because the same store was asking twice that, Trader Joe's didn't have any, and Shaw's had eggs that looked too fragile for Adrian to bring home with none of the shells broken. My shopping list said "eggs, if less than $8/dozen, but check shells [for transparency]." That's after we bought a dozen eggs, of which two stuck to the carton and broke when Cattitude tried to pick them up.

Also, we discovered that Cattitude doesn't like chocolate banana bread made with chia seeds instead of eggs because it makes the part of banana flavor he dislikes more noticeable. So we're going to look for other cookie and cake recipes that use few if any eggs, and/or limit baking based on the egg supply. If we can get the eggs, $9/dozen means a sweet potato frittata for dinner is about $5 worth of ingredients, which is more than we're used to but still less than a lot of other meals we might eat.

The poll will only let me increment in whole numbers, and I thought that asking the number of dimes or pennies would be too weird.

I wouldn't have bothered commenting if I didn't also want to talk about eggshell thickness and such.
