I'm at the top of the food chain. I eat veal. I eat eggs from gulag chickens. I don't particularly worry about farm fresh because a dozen eggs will occupy my refrigerator for months and I happily use them when they're well beyond the sell-by date.
If I could do a mouse click and have a farm fresh organic egg from a freedom chicken put in my hand for 50 cents, I'd do that. Since half the eggs in my diet are past the expiration date, what's the point. I buy the cheapest thing in the store and don't worry a whole lot that I'm eating Monsanto and Bayer-infused food. If I were feeding under-18 children or someone who was pregnant, I'd have a different opinion about the organic part.
I pay attention to the outdates simply because I cannot guarantee where or how or how long those eggs were stored prior to placement in the grocery store cooler. Rare - but I have a couple times purchased nearly rotten eggs. They set those things at room temp sometimes for many days before they are even shipped. Cage free, what a laff! Hens actually like to go into a small cage to do their laying. But the average fool doesn't know that.
I only buy eggs laid by cage-free, free-range, expensive-fed, Perrier-drinking, daily-manicured, well-groomed, music-listening, stress-free, antibiotic-free, drug-free, teetotaling, self-confident, well-rested, and good-mannered chickens.
Eggland's for me. They just seem to be better than store brand. We don't eat a lot of eggs so a dozen could last a month or more. Off brand eggs seem to get watery and run all over the pan. Eggland' seem to hold up better and the yolks are nice and rich.
My Aldi eggs (69 cents/dozen) are just like your Egglands. Probably from the same warehouse.

BTW - my favorite eggs are the double-yolkers.
I only buy $3.99/doz eggs from hens that I can confirm, lived alone in a 2500 sq ft cage with 3 1/2 baths, a stainless steel Dacor kitchen, and granite countertops, and got around in a little chicken-sized Lexus, feeding on bent grass. Metro roosters only! I'll buy $4/doz Eggland's best when I see pictorial proof of those hens living "humanely" in such surroundings. Until then? It's Aldi's "trailerpark, tube top, bowling league" hens' eggs for me (just skip the pics).

We buy Eggland's best for most uses. I honestly can't tell the difference because they are usually scrambled with cheese and veggies,
This.
You know, there are times when i do make my eggs with cheese, sometimes (rarely) ham, and onions/peppers. Essentially, it's an omelette. With so much stuff added in, I can barely tell the difference
Will the better quality eggs truly make any difference here?
That being said, I eat my eggs 98% of the time scrambled with fresh black pepper. Yummy!
Sometimes I will buy eggs from a person who keeps chickens, other times I will buy at dollar tree, I tried egglands & decided thye were too expensive for eggs, hence a rip off.
