We Go to Gainesville every 3 weeks. Or south to costco and base. Mostly locally from a lady who has small coop. A year to get on wait list, buying dozen every week. She isn't taking new customers. Her medium eggs are $1.50 a dozen, and bigger than any large egg you buy in TV. You have to bring your own container.

I buy large if they are available, for regular cooking and medium for baking, because her XL is so big makes baking calculations difficult.

Wednesday Picked up case of Napa Cab at Trader Joe’s, sea scallops $15.99lb, and dozen eggs $1.79. Brown eggs were $1.99, and egg bites $2.99. Sprouts also has their free range eggs on sale.

The egg lady has medium eggs for $1.50, and as mentioned in someones previous post they are bigger than a normal large egg. For those who don’t buy local, yolks are extremely yellow/orange.

Cost to raise 2 chicks $16 a month (cheap food organic double). $48 plus chick’s cost until first egg. Happy chicken will lay 1 egg per day. Really cool coop in lanai and you are in business. Just don’t name them, not long down the road they are Sunday Supper I hated cleaning the coop as a child, our rooster was evil. But no worries no need for a rooster just to get eggs.

Hens are happier when there's a rooster. Without the rooster, the dominant hen will bully the others. So if you don't have a rooster, don't count on one egg every day.

I get the brands "Happy Eggs" and "Handsome Eggs" from Walmart. They're sold at Publix too but it's around a $2/dozen difference in price. I think I last paid $5 and change for the last dozen, last week. I haven't bought white eggs in over 30 years. Up north we lived around 20 minutes from a friend who had a farm, we got fresh eggs (unwashed, unrefrigerated) for $5/dozen, various colored shells, or duck eggs at $6/dozen. She's probably gone up in price by now.

And at BJs, if you buy the 5 dozen pack, they are only $22.99 or $4.60 a dozen

Exactly. I was at Trader Joe's in Gainesville earlier this week and the large brown eggs are $4.99/dozen. Those prices quoted aren't even close to accurate.

I mean, you could just go online and check. I'm looking at the Walmart website. Here:

FARMHOUSE EGGS Cage Free Large Brown Grade A Eggs, 18 Count
(4.5)
4.5 stars out of 1038 reviews
1038 reviews
$4.26
23.7 ¢/ea

You can pick them up in the Summerfield store (that's on 441, the one you can get to by golf cart through the historic section gate). That's $4.28 per 18. That comes to $2.84/dozen, but you have to buy 18 to get that price.

The cheapest I found them is $4.65 a dozen at Walmart for white eggs. Avian flu has played havoc with egg prices.

What eggs? In Summerfield Walmart yesterday and the only eggs were Eggbeaters.
