Is that the regular price or was it a loss leader?
There's no way that even the biggest "farms" could produce them to
retail at that price.

Does it really matter so long as the subject is of interest?

Even so, I just bought a dozen grade A large eggs for $2.50. Adjusting
for inflation that sounds about right.

Five dozen eggs? Suppose you had a family of 6 people,
and used a dozen a day? Sixty eggs wouldn't even last a week.

Yes, I guess we could suppose that. The poster didn't say. It is
anyone's guess if we ever hear from this poster again, much less find
out about the reason for 60 eggs. This person popped up from Google
Groups, replying to a four year old thread about egg prices. <shrug>

I'll be buying a 5 dozen box tomorrow. Pizzelles take a lot of eggs and
we make a lot of them for Christmas.

When the kids were home we'd buy the 5 doz. packs too. On average I eat
about 6 eggs a week.

I have a friend up in Ithaca NY area with an extended family of 14. At
one egg a day per person she'd not make 5 days on that amount. In
fact, she'd make 4 days with not enough left over for eggwashes for
breading and so on.

Whatever. The OP never mentioned an extended family. In fact they
never mentioned any family or anything at all. Just that they bought 60
eggs from a specific dairy for $20.99.

Possibly but a really common sale. I suspect local growers combining
with stores to reduce transport to make it happen.

$1.99 for a dozen extra large, here in egg country.

N.

Jumbo eggs are 2.99/doz here.

High prices are likely due to the bird flu, or that would be the excuse given.

There always seems to be some reason for high prices and a reason to
keep them high. For a while it was the cost of fuel and the high cost
of feed because so much grain was being used to produce bio fuels. Bird
flu would have a drastic effect on supply, driving prices up. Give the
farms a few days for a thorough cleaning, the hatcheries would turn out
a new crop of birds in three weeks and then give them 5-6 months to
start producing.

$1.79 for 18 large here in upstate NY... peewees 49¢/doz. I buy the
peewees anytime they're 49¢/doz or less... sometimes they're 39¢/doz.
There are several huge egg farms in the northern Catskills... and I'd
say about 1/3 of the people who live here raise chickens for eggs... a
new family just bought a house down the road and I already saw that
they have a chicken cook, there were two chickens on their front
steps. Somehow chickens know to stay out of the road... all those
jokes about why do chicken cross the road are nonsense, chickens don't
cross roads... my neighor directly across the road raises chickens,
they walk all over his front yard right up to the road on his side but
I've never seen any cross over to this side. Now I can't say the same
about dumb guinea hens, they are run over all the time.

I think egglands best eggs taste odd. Large eggs are 2.99/doz here too.

I think Eggland's best have a funny taste likely due to what they feed the chickens.

I'm with you there, I think they use more fish meal since I get a fishy
taste from some.

I can buy large eggs all year at 99¢/doz... chickens don't know what
date it is, they just keep laying.
I don't use ground turkey but if that's what I wanted I'd grind it
myself and turkey was 49¢/lb for Thanksgiving and doesn't cost much
more for Christmas and New Year. It's not that difficult to bone out
the part one wants to grind and then roast the rest.

You have such a nice spread, Sheldon.
Why don't you have a few chickens there for daily eggs
and an occasional fresh chicken dinner?
You feed all animals and birds there anyway.

That's not true at all, at least here in my area.
Turkeys can be found at a very cheap price during
Thanksgiving but only then. They never go back on sale
for Christmas time and generally cost twice as much.

Yes, sort of like roses on Valentine's Day, the cost goes up considerably.

Old post aside....I most always eat on less tham $40 per week.
And that's good eats too, not cheap food. This for a single
person though, not a family.

All the 12 years that I had ferrets, their daily food probably
cost more than mine. I bought them the best. LOL I always put
them above me though. Ferrets rule, Gary was only the worthless
caretaker. :-D
