How Much Do You Pay for Eggs?

I live in North Dakota and I paid $1.50 a dozen for eggs this week. We previously had chickens and our own eggs, but it was costing more to feed the chickens than what I could buy eggs for at the store. They were much fresher than store eggs - a friend of mine that works in a HyVee food store says that the eggs that come into the store are already over a month old.

I have paid $1.25 for the last 3 or 4 weeks. I have 2 kids that work for one of the better grocery stores down here in South Carolina and they have been picking up the eggs from there because They can just pick them up after work. I haven't checked any place else lately. They also have milk for %3.39 a gallon.

I live in Indiana and I have paid at least $1.99 for the past year and as much as $2.25 for a dozen and the weird thing about it is that the egg place they come from is right here. I used to work there and they supply most of the east of the mississippi area. I wish I could get eggs for $1.00 or $1.50 that is cheap , I have not paid that less for years.

I paid $1.38 for a dozen large eggs yesterday here in Missouri. Eggs had gone up drastically a few months ago, but they have gone back down. It was around $2 a dozen this past summer.

Well it depends on the kind of eggs. In Australia if they are factory farmed in cages then they are quite cheap but then there are barn laid eggs where the chickens are able to roam freely inside a barn so the can scratch etc and then there are the best which are free range where chickens can wander outside and eat grass and insects. I have my own free range chickens, 3 of them, so I only pay the price of the grain I feed them for protein and that means they cost me less than a dollar a dozen but in the shops these eggs are about $5 a dozen so I love them. Our cage eggs are only about $1.50 a dozen but I will not eat them as I do not like the awful lives the birds have. When my chickens go off lay I buy the barn eggs which are about $3 a dozen.

Well, our eggs cost us a $15 bag of chook feed every 6 weeks. But in the supermarket they run around $4 a dozen. Our local butcher occasionally has local free range for $2.50. Lash
