I don't know, I think eggs actually work well. The price of eggs can vary pretty wildly. One store near me sells eggs starting at $3.99 for half a dozen white ones, up to like $8.99 for a dozen free range organic ones and a bunch of prices in between for various quality eggs. Another store sells them starting at like $2.50 for a half dozen white ones and up to $5.99 for the free range organic ones, with all the prices in between being different to the first store. Then, there's the eggs you can buy at the weekly farmer's market, and near daily craft and other fairs where the prices vary drastically from one person's eggs to another. There's also at least 10 or more places between most of the communities here where people sell eggs from their home.
Diner eggs can vary pretty wildly in price too. You can get some pretty high quality eggs from cheap places and some really lousy expensive powdered scrambled eggs. You have no real idea the actual value to cost with diner eggs.
ETA: Prices are in Canadian dollars.
- Gunax 7y agoSorry for the aside, but are those prices in USD? Those seem like very expensive eggs. I am used to paying less than. 10 USD for an egg.
- WalterBright 7y agoIn Seattle you can get a dozen for $1.99.
- kipchak 7y agoAldi and Walmart eggs will sometimes be under a dollar. They seem to compete on staple goods like eggs and milk to get customers in and buying higher margin products. https://www.businessinsider.com/r-exclusive-wal-mart-launches-new-front-in-us-price-war-targets-aldi-in-grocery-aisle-2017-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/r-exclusive-wal-mart-launche...
