Limited edition cheese - grated, plated and curated!
In Canada a 30 pack of eggs is $10 CAD, which is just shy of $7 USD.
Must be all that fentanyl making the chicken make more eggs /s
I have chickens. People refuse to pay $5 a dozen for our pasture eggs. Even though that's cheaper than any other eggs in the area. I'm also sitting on a dozen goose eggs. A goose egg is three times the size of a chicken egg. They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.
Here in southern california the only eggs I have even seen on shelves are my usual small farmers market eggs, which are now the same price or cheaper than the grocery store. It has been astounding me that the better and now cheaper option is the one not sold out. Humans really are just psychology multiplied.
Keep sitting on those goose eggs, when they hatch and you attack with your goose army they'll all be sorry.
It takes a full year to hatch them and then wait for them to become soldiers since they are only aggressive in the spring. Ain'tnobodygottimeforthat-meme.gif
This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.
Which is absurd.
If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.
no but see it's about hierarchy. the factory farm is bigger than me, and so I must serve it and obey on its terms. the local farm is just a person. I bet I could take them in a fight. therefore they should serve me and all interactions should be on my terms.
I wish I knew how to find farmers selling eggs like you. $5 for a dozen is a steal. Do you wash them? Or go European style?
Ikr my husband and I pass a house that sells their fresh eggs for $3 a dz when we visit his parents. I always stop and buy two!
If me neighbor had eggs like that I would buy it as often as they would let me.

Subscription payment on eggs is wild! lol
Even worse, it's buy now pay later.
Oh my gosh, this planet is the bad place. Are we in hell and did we all die in Dec 21 2012?
LPT: it's almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.
Unless you are in the U.S. and that is likely against the migratory bird act of 1918.
Who's going to stop me. The government agency that was just decimated. I stopped paying taxes too.

Just poke tiny holes in them, blow out the contents and return them for a refund.
Just syphon other people's eggs contents using a long straw whenever they are distracted.

Random tip: Kala Namak is a condiment which tastes a lot like egg yolk. If you sprinkle it onto some cooked white beans, that's kind of like scrambled eggs (well, it is different, but also good and might satiate a craving).
Basically, Kala Namak is salt+sulphur. Egg yolk also contains sulphur, and well, sulphur is one of the minerals we should be eating anyways.
Kala Namak
That's black salt! I like to use it in cooking sometimes, it's a little like MSG. I'd never sprinkle it on something that's already on a plate though.
It also doesn't have any protein to speak of.
That said, it's perfectly possible to eat tasty, healthy & balanced without eggs.
Kala namak and processed egg whites from a bottle. We're heading towards a dystopian future
Tofu scramble is another good alternative, albeit also not exactly the same. This recipe looks like a decent starting point:

I also really like adding vegetables to my scramble, that'll make it even less like eggs though.

I used to buy these after recent price hikes. To be fair, these were always three times the price than regular eggs.
Yeah, but they were $8.99 before the shenanigans started.
4 × 2.97 < 11.89.
Don’t worry, that’s just the rate if you have perfect credit (*starting at). The people that actually need such a service would likely be paying $3.50 per payment.
