LOL - it's similar to grass-fed beef - that is higher in omega 3's than fish.

Eggs (Bishop CA) - at Smart & Final yesterday - dozen, large = $2.99 or Eggland's Best = $3.59. But this is a small town where they act like things still come via stage coach. Same time, we are a rather captive market - save for Amazon Prime!

That is the truth. My jaws dropped when I saw how expensive the Smart and Final store was in Bishop, CA when compared to Phoenix ...

I paid $3.99/doz yesterday for large, organic brown eggs. I like them better.

I think the sign said 2.65 or something in Aldis today in SC. There was a large sign on the cooler apologizing for the price spike due to a "national egg shortage."

I think free-range eggs are nearly 3 euros for 10 eggs (don't sell by the dozen, although they do sell by the half dozen, for 1,30ish for free range)

Is that a metric dozen?

I was getting whatever was on sale cheap up until around a year ago when I met a woman who has a farm and sells eggs from her free-range hens. They have a coop they "live" in at night (there are predator animals in the area so not a good idea to let them roam free 24/7), and a fenced-in grazing area. I discovered the yolks were this amazing deep reddish-yellow color, and realized I hadn't ever seen eggs like this before. They cooked up much tastier than the cheap white eggs.

So now at the supermarket I pay a premium for cage-free eggs, and when I see my friend at the local farmer's market, I get a dozen or two from her instead. Hers are expensive - $8/dozen. But these eggs really are spectacular. Different colors too because they come from a variety of hens. She also has duck eggs but they're too big for my needs.

At the supermarket I pay around $4 for a dozen of Nancy's Cage-Free.

It's worth it to me because they just plain taste better when I make omelets.
