Eggs

Thanks for the tip! I drive by Kwik Trip all the time, but never go into stations anymore thanks to pay at the pump. Had no idea they discounted staple foods.
Definitely check it out. Butter is often around $2 a pound (currently $2.19). I have checked the "laid on" dates for the eggs at Kwik Trip and at Pick n Save the same day and Kwik Trip is usually at least 3 days and as many as 8 days fresher. Milk is cheaper, especially if you are willing to buy it in the half gallon bags, they always have cheap bananas, and their bread is very reasonable.
I just love the fact that they could raise their egg prices more and still be cheaper than other stores, but they don't.

Milwaukee area resident. I still think the eggs are finely priced and have not curbed my egg habit
Well if I wasn't sold before I am now. Thanks!
Our daycare has laying hens and the kids harvest these and help making breakfast. Kenosha just updated their law allowing city residents to keep laying hens in their yards. It's on the project list once I finish the basement.0 -

You can dehydrate your own meats for jerkey to avoid the high sodium. Cook up a package of turkey bacon and keep it in the fridge and snack on that.
I don't think my landlord would like a bunch of chickens wandering around my apartment. If I ever buy, that is one of the things I want, in addition to some garden space.

Quick grits with cheese has around 13 grams of protein but it is a bit higher in calories unless you cut the serving size down a bit or use low fat/ fat free cheese. Lots of cracked pepper is nice and maybe a few dashes of hot sauce. I never knew there was an egg shortage. Eggs are a dollar to a buck and a half a dozen on average unless you get fancy brands around here. I had a rooster named Tucky but of course he was no help on ending the egg shortage. Good luck0

+ 1 person amazed at the low egg prices there. In Australia, free range are around $5 a dozen, last I looked.Also, anybody have any protein breakfast ideas that do not contain eggs but are about 100-150 calories? I'm not sure I want to go up to 4 a day but I want to add more protein in the morning. I already eat Greek yogurt for other meals and I really like my 2 hard cooked eggs as a bedtime snack.
You can buy small tins of different types of tuna with around 125 calories each. You could have one with a couple of water crackers. I sometimes have slightly larger tins with crackers for lunch.0 -
+1 on Kwik Trip. At my family's cabin, it's the *only* decent store in the area. Nearest grocery store is 12 more miles.0

However, they are not near as juicy as the real deal so I mix 'em with other things to balance moisture. I like to nuke a couple patties, chop 'em up, and mix them with some egg beaters (nuked). The patties have 10g protein each and 5g per serving of egg beater. I keep some things in the fridge to mix flavors up a bit - jalapenos, roasted bell pepper, fresh salsa in season, ripe roma, etc. Oh, and my hot sauce is always available for a quick dash of bang. It is fast, it is easy, and it is tasty.what do you mean holding off at going up to 4?
you mean like not eating 4 a day? why not- other than the cost? I eat 5-6 a night- usaully 3 whole and 3 white- sometimes I bump to 4 whites.
it's fine.I'm just incredulous that you consider $2 a dozen expensive.
indeed.
that's pretty standard- I'm getting pissy that 2 dozen is like 8-9 bucks. That's getting a little absurd- considering I go through a half dozen almost every day.
@JoRocka I want to hold off on eating more eggs because I am already going over my fat macro many days thanks to cheese, almonds, and the 2 eggs I already eat. This keep my protein macro smaller than it should be.
@Steve_ApexNC Thanks for the idea. I made this with the maple sausages this morning. After I bought them, I realized I still have some turkey sausage links in the freezer so I will use them up too.0 -
I pay €1,50 for 6 Organic free range eggs.
We could get eggs much cheaper, but we get them from a retailer that gets them directly from the local farms.
This way the farmer gets a better price than from large supermarket chains, and we know the chickens are treated well.0 -
We have Kwik Trips down South here too - I very rarely go in so I had no idea about the deals there but will check things out next time I'm by there.0

Cottage cheese is a nice source of protein if you're looking to add another one. I like it with chopped veggies, fruit, or pumpkin puree.0

i gladly pay $4/ dozen for local eggs and not the tasteless crap that stores sell.0

Yes, these are considerations for me as well.
It's semi-rural where I live and I can't drive down a back road without seeing a sign for eggs. I like to buy from the nice lady with the beautiful garden whose husband sharpens my tools and will be selling tomatoes, zucchini, and summer squash on the roadside soon. She bumped her prices up from $2.25 to $2.75 recently.

I went into the store for eggs and only eggs. So, when they rang up, I noticed the price. They were pasteurized, so always more expensive there, but holy God in heaven, I almost had me a heart attack. I was like, "For eggs?!"
The ones I get fresh, from a person who has chickens, have not increased in price.
Lots of people add meat if they want more protein at breakfast.0 -

It is a different company. The ones around here are based in LaCrosse, Wisconsin and only have stores in Wisconsin, Eastern Minnesota and Eastern Iowa. They buy their eggs and dairy from local farmers and ship to the stores daily, which is why they are always so fresh and lower price: they cut out the middleman.

I've lucked out! Started getting my eggs from a coworker, 2 dozen for 5$ or she sometimes prefers to be paid in coffee during the week.0

Oh, you're right - ours are QuikTrip, lol. That's excellent how your stores work with local farmers, that's a great service to provide to consumers.0 -
Think about the nutrition and value compared with other foods - I think up to about $.25/egg is a fair price. The reason you can get $.99/dozen eggs is because the stores take a hit on that staple item knowing that if you shop there because you like that price, you'll buy something else too that's profitable.0

Yep, I pay $5 a dozen straight from the farm, they're around $6-7 from the grocery store.
I'm forever marvelling at the low prices Americans pay. But you have to remember their population is a bajillion times more than Australia's, and their wages are a hell of a lot lower than ours.

Exactly. They thrive on consumer loyalty and for that type of business where every gas station near them has the same price for a gallon of gas it is the extras that draw the customer to them rather than their competitor down the street.

Smoothie with protein powder, almond milk, cottage cheese, a couple frozen banana cubes, greek yogurt and a tbsp of peanut butter. Keeps me full for ages and jam packed with protein.0
