Wow, £3 is a lot for eggs. Over here, they used to be around $2/dozen (~£1.30), and then this happened, http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/21/40131901

True, that's probably on the high side, I had a look on mySupermarket and it's around £2.00-2.50 depending whether you want factory/free range. Since all the supermarkets price match these days, they've settled on £2.25. Oraganic will set you back over £3.50. It seem the eggs I buy now from Morrisons are "Very Large" which have a slight premium for the size. If you shop at Waitrose then you're looking at £3-4.50. When I can, I buy from farms which sell by the roadside and you can normally get a half-dozen for £1.30 or so.
