You can get a dozen eggs from the farmer up the road for $4.00, or from your local grocery store for $0.99. Which do you buy?

    .99 for baking, etc.
    The $4 for fried eggs, scrambled, etc.

    So both.

    famer . . . far tastier.

    Did you know that if an egg is not refridgerated it can keep for up to a month? The fresher an egg is the harder it is to peel. When you buy eggs from the store, hard boil them, and they peel easily . . . how long do you think that egg's been laying around?

    That being said, I prefer my eggs from the farm, but I always use store bought eggs for hard boiling.

    Does the farmer have a daughter?

    Yes, her name is Heather, but she's 12 years old. What do you do?

    I used to eat a few dozen eggs a week. If I still did that, I'd buy them from the grocery store, assuming nothing was wrong with them.

    Now that I eat all my calories at night, eggs are a very minute part of my grocery budget, so I might not mind buying them straight from the farm, even at 4 times the price.

    Once a month I'd buy from the farmer. The other gazillion times I have to buy eggs a month I would go the 99 cent route.

    Grocery store. I buy Asda's own. £3.10 for 30. Though I will admit farmers eggs will defo have more yolk in them but I only want the egg white mainly.

    This is going to sound super-lazy of me... but which is closer... the farm or the grocery store?

    Gas mileage needs to be taken into account here.

    That is WAY too expensive... We get our eggs from our own chickens and I can assure you that it takes zero effort to collect the eggs and feed the chickens. Their food isn't even very expensive.

    With all of that jazz.... If I were to buy eggs, I would go for the .99 cent ones...

    This is literally the cost of eggs here. One farmer I know sells them for $3. But seeing as how you pick up the eggs with your own container, I still find it kinda expensive when they are a buck in the store.

    Farm fresh are tastier, but no worth the 400% markup.

    Fortunately, my farm is only $2.50 a dozen, and I think the store ones are like $1.89 around here. That's a markup I'll pay.

    Farmers eggs. Assuming the Farmer is a small operation, not capable of feeding growth hormones to his chickens.
