What kind of work do you do? What is your salary? Is the cost of living higher in barbados?

It it very seldom that we buy eggs because we have our own hens although we are now down to only 4 of them but they lay every day and so we get enough for ourselves, unless of course I am going to do a major cook up. Last week when we were shopping I did notice that they were actually $3.89 for a carton of a dozen and we often see them at the markets for $3.00, so the amount you are paying does seem cheap to me. LOL

Okay...how do I get a comparison in US dollars so I'll know? And what are free range eggs? Like a small farmer with his own chickens? I use to call those fertilized eggs and they are quite good.

That is right around the ballpark for here in central Kansas as well.I try to go to discount places, like Aldi's or Sam's Club for eggs,and buy a lot when I can get them at a good price.

I live in the south and many of the items that I use, I purchase at our local Walmart Supercenter. A doz. of large
eggs cost about $.99 a carton. I find that many of the household items that I purchase there are a few cents cheaper than at other stores...SS

The last time I bought a carton of eggs, I sepnt $.89 at Super Walmart. All of their eggs (unless you buy the brown eggs or specialty eggs) are under $1.

We bought our eggs for 89 cents I believe. We are working on having our own chickens so that we can all we need and maybe make a buck a dozen for fresh, natural eggs. Also some will be different colors due to the type of chickens we will have.

Well, I but free range organic eggs, and it costs 89 cents a carton where I am - the high desert mountains in Arizona. They're local eggs, and I get them at the farmer's market, so that probably makes a big difference. I don't really know what a dozen eggs costs in the grocery store around here.

I live in Indiana and right now at Kroger they are 93 cents for a dozen medium eggs...but if you go to Aldi's or someplace like that they are like 60 cents for the large dozen. Or you can get 30 for 2.20. They are cheap.
My darn fridge keeps freezing all my eggs and it's really making me mad!! I've turned the fridge all the way down to 3!! I don't know what the heck is going on...lol

I have just checked one supermarket, as I don't really know how much I pay for my eggs. For 1 doz extra large (my favourite) it costs €3.41; 1 doz large costs €2.90 and 1 doz medium costs €1.78. The medium size would be very small, so I would eat two of them.

That's a little bit high for eggs. Around here in Kentucky we pay around seventy something cents for a dozen of eggs. I don't remember the price exactly, but it's less than a dollar.

How do I find out what one euro is compared to US dollars?
