    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.

    Costco is around $3 for 18 here in So California, but for my friend in Vegas his Costco eggs are more expensive.

    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.

    I'm in Ohio. The eggs at the grocery store in my tiny town are $2.89 per dozen. At the grocery in the city I work, they are $4.09 per dozen. They were both in the $2 range before the avian flu issue. I live in a semi-rural area and see several places (small farms) with them $3/dozen each day.

    I get fresh eggs from my Grandpa, but when I need a lot, I buy them at Sam's club. I get 3 dozen for $4.

    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.

    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.

    Eggs here are cheap. Get your own chickens? you'll have more eggs than you'll know what to do with! Or go for the carton of egg-whites for a while. 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.

    OH! And chickens are really cheap and low maintenance and they just keep producing eggs... you just have to feed and water them every day.

    And provide protection from predators, and routinely scoop out the coop (chicken poo make great compost).

    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 luck

    + 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.

    +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.

    I like the Morning star Hot and Spicy Sausage patties. I love sausage and these satiate my need for the real hi-fat deal. They taste good and only 80cal per patty. 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.

    @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.

    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.

    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.
