Now I know that all the supermarkets seem to show they sell them when looking at their stores online, but has anyone ever seen then in the actual stores? All I can find is the powered kind.

Should I just buy online or just eat whole eggs?

    You can buy a brand called Two Chicks in some Sainsburys shops :)

    yes but every store I've been in I haven't found it :( Is it generally in the egg or dairy section?

    As said, 2chicks in Waitrose/Sainsburys.
    I often find them reduced in Waitrose as they're not very popular.

    thanks for the tips, been looking for these for ages. Would guess they're probably only available in the larger sainsburys

    I clearly have the crap stores then :( Not in my local Tesco, Sainsburys or Waitrose

    2 chicks in Sainsbury's or Waitrose.

    I bought them last week from Sainsbury's. They were in the chilled section near the yogurts.

    Two chicks... in a semi big Sainsbury. In mine they are with the ready made pastry. Why don't you just grab someone working there and ask?
    Also i find buying whole eggs and tossing the yolk is cheaper

    I'm personally a fan of whole eggs but then again I don't eat low fat either. I do better when I eat lower carbohydrate.

    In my local Sainsbury's they're with the chilled baking ingredients, near the butter.


    You def won't find them in tiny Sainsbury's, and their stock varies a bit too depending on the people in the local area (richer areas have bigger home baking sections, specialist food etc.).

    Worth doing an online delivery if you can't find them and you can't get to another store easily. Plenty of offers available for new customers.

    It's actually not unless you're buying basics caged hen eggs or you get a good deal from a local farm.

    One carton of Two Chicks Egg Whites is equal to 15 eggs. Buying that many separately is about £1 more.

    If you actually used the yolks, it would be worth it.

    my Sainsburys isn't little unless you mean small enough to not do the clothes.

    I buy 18 eggs (free range, would rather not eat eggs then caged ones) for £2.10 and I do use some of the yolkes.

    If you want to get them in large(ish) quantities, look at the supplement providers, I know bulkpowders.co.uk and musclefood.com both do them.

    If you've never ordered from those places before, and you want to get them, drop me a PM and I can give you a referral code to get £5 at bulkpowders or some freebies at musclefood.

    Hard to make things like meringues and angle food cake with whole eggs....

    Your body doesn't really absorb the cholesterol from eggs, it's the cholesterol your body produces from too much saturated fat that you need to worry about.

    This ^^^^ the whole cholesterol scare from eggs was a false alarm, current [UK] advice is just eat the whole egg,

    If making meringues and angel food cake just separate them and use the yolks elsewhere

    I don't bake at all.

    I was waiting for a comment on the cholesterol L:) I'm not scared of it and will continue to eat whole eggs as well as egg whites

    Some Holland and Barrat's do them - but not my local as they don't have a fridge.
    Costco also do 4 pint bottles I think it, but you'll have to find someone with a costco card (I've got makro as there's no yearly fee, but can't justify the fee for costco.)

    Just in case you're interested, Bulkpowders pasteurise there's, so you can keep them at room temp, until you break the seal on the bottle.

    The Two Chicks ones they do in Sainsburys are pasteurised, though still sold from the fridge.
    At the moment I'm not even using protein powder and often finding I need to make up my last calories with carbs/fat, so happy to go for whole eggs generally.
